Computer Science & Information Security Programs
BS in Computer Science and Information Security major is all about deep technical aspects of cyber-security. We have both foundational and specialized courses that prepare students for careers in cyber-security. Students learn core concepts in computer programming, algorithms, operating systems, networks and then they specialize in cyber security through cyber-security capstone, computer and network security as well as forensics.
Earn your Masters in ONE year!!
The BS/MS dual admission accelerated program is based on two existing programs, the BS in Computer Science and Information Security and the MS in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity, which will enable our Computer Science majors to pursue undergraduate and graduate education concurrently within a five-year time frame!
Transition to John Jay to complete your four-year degree!!
By completing your associate degree in a CJA major at one of the participating CUNY community colleges, you are automatically part of the CJA and receive dual admission that puts you on track to complete your bachelor’s degree at John Jay College.
Computers are the future. By learning to use a computer, students are securing their tomorrows. Good computer skills will build self-confidence and increase students’ marketability and competence in their chosen fields. Computers also allow users to work quickly and efficiently with data and information in a way that no other devices do.
Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary field that applies the lenses of computer science along with security management and criminal justice curricula to secure, defend and investigate enterprise computing and information resources against inside and outside threat actors. The core concepts of cybersecurity are obtained through coursework that includes mathematics, principles of cybersecurity, computer programming, computer architecture, and algorithms. The Cybersecurity Bridge Certificate provides in-depth learning opportunities to students pursuing non-STEM majors to develop their cybersecurity knowledge, skills and abilities. The certificate provides comprehensive coverage of topics needed to succeed in cybersecurity-based jobs and graduate programs such as the MS in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity at John Jay College.
