BI Computer Security

Computer Security, a.k.a. cybersecurity, is a rapidly growing field. With more and more of our personal life going online, cybersecurity is an area of growing concern with expanding opportunities. Colorado Springs is home to multiple military bases including NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command. Colorado Springs also has the highest concentration of the International Systems Security Association (ISSA) members in the world. BI CSS students have numerous research opportunities giving students the chance to take what they know and use it on real jobs and internships. The program covers the core of a computer science degree but adds in the security focus allowing students two different primary career paths. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, five of the top ten growth fields through 2014 relate to computing. In addition to their cyber-skills, BI CSS students will graduate with work experience, team skills, and a business background, all important to applying cybersecurity in organizations that need it. This combination will set any student up for either diving head first into a career or furthering their education with graduate school.
