Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

Supported by Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) and the Texas A&M University System RELLIS center, the goal of the AUIS Cybersecurity department is to produce graduates that are proficient in the use of data synthesis techniques and new technologies, and have a solid understanding of the capabilities of virtual environments, artificial intelligence, and computational modeling and analytics. 
The program is designed for students interested in developing expertise in the theoretical and practical aspects of cybersecurity and cyber defense. Cybersecurity is an inherently interdisciplinary discipline, dealing with methods, systems, and concepts aimed at ensuring safety, resilience, and recovery of computing infrastructures. Cybersecurity employs theories, methodologies, and tools drawn from many fields, within the broad areas of computer science, information systems, computer engineering, and criminal justice. The methodologies and techniques find application in a variety of domains, encompassing the full range of threat reduction, vulnerability reduction, deterrence, international engagement, incident response, resiliency, and recovery policies and activities, including computer network operations, information assurance, law enforcement, diplomacy, military, and intelligence missions as they relate to the security and stability of the global information and communications infrastructure.
