Overview

The Cyber Science major is the study of the structure, behavior, and effective use of cyberspace in the presence of intelligent, adaptive, and evolving adversaries, both human and artificial.

Cyberspace is made up of hardware, software, information, people, organizations, policies, and laws. Building on a common, 10-course foundation, this flexible major allows cadets to choose one of five tracks. The cyber science major is not intended to prepare cadets for commissioning in the cyber branch exclusively.

The program is offered by United States Military Academy at West Point.

Concentrations

The Cyber Science major consists of 11 foundational courses and 5 concentrations. This interdisciplinary curriculum studies the data, software, hardware, connection, human, organizational, and societal factors that affect secure computer systems in Cyberspace. The Cyber Science major is not intended to prepare cadets for commissioning in the Cyber branch exclusively. The different concentrations offered by the major range from highly interdisciplinary to deeply technical and will prepare cadets to successfully commission into any branch.

Cybersecurity Concentration: The Cybersecurity concentration focuses on the interdisciplinary study of people, processes, and technology to assure operations in the face of cyberspace risks.
Network Services Concentration: A course of study similar to a traditional information technology major focused on building and securing the networks and services fundamental to operating in cyberspace.
Cyber Operations Concentration : A program of study that explores the low-level technical skills that enable offensive and defensive operations.
Cyber-Physical Systems Concentration : A course of study that uniquely combines deep exploration of both hardware and software to exploit networked, physical systems that are controlled by algorithms.
Machine Learning Concentration : A program of study that prepares cadets to gain insight using algorithmic tools that exploit large datasets and the internet of things.
