computer science cybersecurity

I’m interested in small and medium size college that offers solid program in computer science with cybersecurity emphasis. I would like to apply to California colleges but open to other state like Texas, Nevada, Colorado, or Arizona. Which college would you recommend that won’t have too much GE requirements and will take community college credits taken during high school?

Are you a CA resident? What do you consider small to medium size schools?
College budget?
GPA unweighted?
Test scores?
HS course rigor?

My son attended a Cal state as a CS major. He took a few Cybersecurity electives but got his Cybersecurity emphasis from his 2 Internships during Junior and Senior year.
