Cybersecurity

Fairmont State University will begin offering an emphasis in Cybersecurity for the Master of Business Administration program in the fall. 

The program will prepare early careerists and seasoned managers for cybersecurity leadership roles in the public or private sector, Marcus Fisher, assistant professor of Information Systems Management, said. 

Fairmont State University has received $26,300 in grant funding from NASA’s Software Assurance Research Program to conduct research in cybersecurity. 

The project is intended to give Fairmont State students real-world opportunities. Cybersecurity students will have the chance to gain experience performing tasks often conducted in their field. In addition, math students will have the chance to develop predictive models based on project data.
