Since 2008, Cal State San Bernardino has been a national leader in cyber security education. The program’s excellent curriculum and faculty expertise in cyber security led to a Center of Academic Excellence designation from the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security (in Cyber Defense/Information Assurance) through 2021. As the lead for the CAE community, CSUSB’s nationally recognized program continues to develop future cyber security professionals and curriculum while forging strong industry partnerships.
The information and decision sciences department has received cyber security grants from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Defense and other federal and state agencies. These grants allow the university to offer full scholarships and help make cyber security programs available across disciplines at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
