Why a Cybersecurity Degree?
Cybersecurity caught my attention because I’ve always been curious about how systems can be both built and broken—especially when it comes to ethical hacking and penetration testing. I’m hoping this program will give me a solid, formal introduction to that world.
And if I’m being honest, I also wanted a education that could help me land a good job while continuing to grow my technical skills and creative interests.
