Center for Cybersecurity

The Anderson University Center for Cybersecurity trains students to meet the unique demands of today’s cybersecurity industry. The Center gives you the freedom to choose a degree track that focuses solely on cybersecurity or adds specializations in one of three areas: analytics, criminal justice, or mathematics.

Center for Cybersecurity Faculty

Here at Anderson, you’ll find that your professors aren’t just talking about cybersecurity theory; they’ve lived it. Center for Cybersecurity faculty members, such as program Director Dr. Kenneth J. Knapp, boast careers in the military, have experience as security leaders in industry, and hold invaluable certifications shared by many of the industry’s best, such as the CISSP, CCSP, and CEH.
