Initiative for Cybersecurity and Privacy

Western's BS in Cybersecurity degree is a unique joint academic program between Western Washington University and Washington State community colleges, culminating in a baccalaureate degree in cybersecurity. It is a "2+2" program:

• The first 2 years- Students earn a specific cybersecurity transfer degree from one of our partner colleges.
• The last 2 years- Students earn their Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity from WWU from one of our 3 locations: Bellingham, Poulsbo, or Kirkland.

This high demand program prepares students for a career in preventing and responding to internet security breaches that threaten businesses, corporations, and the government.  Western Cybersecurity graduates have gone on to work for companies such as Amazon Web Services, Premera Blue Cross, and CI Security.
