Bachelor of Cybersecurity

Ransomware, malware, phishing, distributed denial of service (DDOS), spyware, simjacking, and cyberwarfare. Internet-based attacks on our society are in the news just about every day.

Cybersecurity is about defending against these threats. The field has steadily grown in breadth, depth and societal importance and is now recognized as a stand-alone subject alongside Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

Carleton's cybersecurity research team, one of the strongest in Canada, has designed a new undergraduate program in Cybersecurity to help prepare future leaders in our society's defence against cyberattacks. It is an intensive program designed for high-achieving and ambitious students who excel in math and science, who enjoy solving challenging problems and who are strongly interested in a career in computer and network security.

Prospective students are advised that the program is still subject to formal approvals.
