Introduction
The Associate of Arts in Cybersecurity degree is designed for students interested in a career in the area of protecting computer systems and networks. It is designed to fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirements while providing flexibility in preparing students for transfer to a four-year institution. Students will learn about the vulnerabilities of hardware and software systems, perform network security testing, including countermeasure testing and the risk factor analysis needed to design a flexible and comprehensive security plan. Students will gain skills in providing for business continuity and disaster recovery. They can sit for the following industry certifications: CompTIA Linux+ and Security+; CCENT; CCNA Cyber Ops (SECOPS); and Microsoft Technology Associate. Since transfer requirements vary widely, it is important to consult with an advisor if you plan to transfer to a college or university.
