UNCW’s B.S. in Cybersecurity is a STEM-designated program jointly offered by the Cameron School of Business and the Department of Computer Science. It equips students to help businesses and individuals become cyber-resilient in a world increasingly dependent on digital systems. The degree blends technical computing and information systems expertise with a focus on policy, risk management, ethical issues, and business strategy.
