Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

Georgetown American University delivers its Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity entirely online, pairing virtual classroom sessions with simulated laboratory work in place of in-person labs. Teaching blends pre-recorded, trainer-led video material with live instructor-led sessions that run synchronously or asynchronously, so the mix of methods can flex to fit different cohorts and course content. The curriculum follows the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Workforce Framework and guidance from the Chartered Institute of Information Security, building toward the knowledge and skills behind certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and the (ISC)2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner credential. Course design is also benchmarked against standards set by a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense designation and the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity, giving the program an external reference point for its technical content. The approach aims to take students from foundational security concepts toward the applied, problem-solving abilities expected of a working cybersecurity professional.
