The BS Cyber Security program at Superior University is a 4-year NCEAC-accredited specialized undergraduate degree dedicated entirely to cybersecurity — covering network security, ethical hacking, penetration testing, cryptography, cloud security, threat intelligence, incident response, zero-trust architecture, SOC operations, and security automation. Students master Kali Linux, Wireshark, Metasploit, Splunk, and AWS/Azure security services, earning professional certifications in CompTIA Security+, ISC2 CC, and Cisco CyberOps.

The program is distinct from BS Information Security & Digital Forensics in its exclusive cybersecurity focus without the digital forensics component — providing greater depth across offensive security, defensive architecture, and cloud security engineering.
