Danika Hannon, Alum
I thought the program was very well structured. I was very happy with having the choice of a couple paths of study that fit my interests better than a universal path. The faculty and advisors are always willing to work with you to resolve any issues you may have. The entire course path is online, and the courses are structured well.
I feel well prepared to take the certification exams for my courses of study and even noted similarities with the items learned in the program to an independent certification I took. I recommend this program to those looking to increase their knowledge and toolset within the cybersecurity industry.
