Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate (CW71)
The Cybersecurity Fundamentals TCC is a sequence of courses designed, upon completion of required prerequisite courses, to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles and techniques required in computer information processing. Completion of the TCC will prepare students to either continue more advanced studies in cybersecurity leading toward a Diploma or AAS Degree or broaden their current CIST knowledge base.
NOTE: Program courses in Computer Information Systems require strong aptitudes for math, problem solving, critical thinking, listening, teamwork, and written direction.
Credits for CIST & CISM courses are awarded only for courses that have been completed within the last seven years. Any courses completed over seven years ago may be recommended by the program chair and approved by the Dean of the School of Business/Public Services if the student presents recent, documented, in-field experience or current software certification.
Career Opportunities
Graduates may find entry-level employment as cybersecurity specialists working with networking systems, telecommunications, cryptography, security system design, or risk assessment and contingency planning.
