Most programs share a foundational year with Computer Science before diverging into security-specific upper-division coursework.
Demand has outpaced supply for years, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 33 % growth in information security analyst roles between 2023 and 2033, far above the 4 % average across all occupations.
