Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

Protect the World from Cybercrime

In a world where many components of our lives are entirely online, cybersecurity is a critical function in nearly every industry. As the global digital footprint continues expanding, so does the dark underweb of cybercrime. In the past year, cyberattacks and data breaches increased by a whopping 15.1%.

As cybercrime increases, so does the need for more cybersecurity and information security professionals. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there are currently 3.5 million cybersecurity positions worldwide, a 350% growth from the 1 million positions predicted back in 2014 . 

In Spring Arbor University’s Cybersecurity program, our students become equipped with the knowledge and certifications needed to be critical thinkers and leaders in the cybersecurity industry. Students will take courses in computer systems security, Linux foundations for cybersecurity, security and management controls, data comm and networking, and cyber threats, and will complete the program with five industry certifications: PC Pro, Security Pro, Network Pro, Linux Pro, and Ethical Hacking.

100% of SAU cybersecurity students obtained certifications

We are proud to share that as of October 2023, all of our cybersecurity students have obtained their PC Pro and Security Pro certifications, compared to an average Michigan pass rate of 69% (PC Pro) and 32% (Security Pro), and 58% (PC Pro) and 47% (Security Pro) across the US.
