Information and Cybersecurity Management
Information and Cybersecurity Management
The Information Systems and Cybersecurity Management Major provides managerial perspective and technical skills to create, control, protect, and leverage information and data resources of an organization. The major contains two concentrations. One is an Information Systems concentration focusing on the systems, processes, and technologies organizations use to manage the information assets of the organizations. The Cybersecurity Management concentration is a managerial focus on cybersecurity and risk management that organizations seek in all of their business units. Both concentrations are a solid foundation of technical understanding delivered from a managerial perspective to enable students to contribute quickly to problem-solving in Information Systems and Cybersecurity Management in organizational settings. The Cybersecurity Management concentration applies a unique managerial focus to cybersecurity and risk management. The program instills foundational knowledge for strategic problem-solving regarding security-focused business problems. Students learn to evaluate security threats, assess their risk, and manage resolutions that rely on advanced technologies such as blockchain, encryption, large data repositories, AI, and other emerging tools. The Information Systems concentration prepares students to structure and solve problems with a focus on business processes. Students evaluate and design technology-based solutions to enhance business processes and the systems that support them. Students learn about process management through hands-on exposure to enterprise systems, robotic process automation, and other current applications of AI. Students manage IT-based projects with a focus on agile methods.

2020-2021
Analytics describes the extensive use of data to guide evidence-based decision-making. This field has emerged during a time when massively large data sets are being collected throughout society. Analytics lives at the junction between numerous traditional disciplines including information systems and statistics. This program will provide a framework for thinking about the collection and use of so-called "big data" and students will develop skills for handling structured and unstructured data sets and for developing models to predict behavior in data-rich environments.
The term "co-major" is unique and indicates that students must be concurrently enrolled in and must complete another major at 兔子先生 University. The co-major complements this primary major, which provides significant depth and breadth in an academic discipline. There is no specific degree designation for the co-major; students receive the degree designation of their primary major. Students may earn either the Business Analytics Minor or the Analytics Co-Major.
