When it comes to cybersecurity, there are lot of things that we need to learn about technologies and there are lot of courses that can be relatable to it just because of the amount of technology that in included in this world. Some of the courses that can relate to cybersecurity that are offered by ODU are Computer Science, Cyber Crime, Computer Engineering, Criminal Justice etc…

Computer science and cybersecurity graduates will enter a growing and changing field that requires technical knowledge and business acumen, as well as problem-solving and organizational skills. Compared with a computer science degree, a cybersecurity degree has a narrower focus and equips students with more specific knowledge.

Cybersecurity is all about protecting the government, corporate networks and companies by making it difficult for the hackers to find and take advantage of the weak points in a company. Cybercrime, on the other hand, tends to focus more on protecting individuals and families as they navigate online life.

Computer Engineering is another course that is relatable to cybersecurity because generally speaking, Computer Engineering will mix electronics and programming. You get a little machine language, a few semesters of a normal language (Java, C++), and a couple semesters of electronics. Computer Science is basically all programming. You also need programming skills in cybersecurity depending on the level of job you are in. You need programming skills in order to write programs and defend your system from hackers and even decode things.

Cybercrime is a blend of computer science and law enforcement. The ideal candidates include those with an interest in technology and a penchant for security work. In the digital world, cybersecurity pros become like the law enforcers of the traditional criminal justice system. They are the front-line defenders against cybercrime.

When it comes to the Cybersecurity major, from what I see, anything that has technology and programming can be related to cybersecurity.
