Cybersecurity and UMBC-USG

UMBC-CMSC Website: http://shadygrove.umbc.edu/cs.php  

Thank you so much for the opportunity to speak with your advisors and counselors yesterday. I have attached the powerpoint (saved to Counseling One Drive under advising docs-->transfer) that I used and welcome any and all questions.

Regarding Dana Baker's question on UMBC's cyber track courses being helpful for students to receive Cybersecurity certifications, let me clarify.

"Courses, both required and elective, in the undergraduate cybersecurity track are intended to give students a breadth of computing knowledge and the theoretical and conceptual fundamentals of networking, operating systems, computer security, and related cybersecurity topics like malware analysis, reverse engineering, and more.  Our courses are not taught to any specific certification, but with some additional personal study, these students should be fairly well-positioned for industry certification exams like the CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) and Network+/Security+, among others."

Could you forward this information to Dana and the rest of your counselors?

Best,

Jeannette Kartchner
