<p>Is cybersecurity a major because they say it is on online sites but when I look under majors for colleges, the name does not come up. If it is not, what is close to it, besides computer science. And if it is a major, is there a requirement for advanced math in it?</p>
<p>Florida State University offers a Computer Criminology major, which is pretty unique! Other than that, I don’t really know any others, sorry.</p>
<p>A number of schools ofer major in cybersecurity. Sometimes it a subspecialty track within a computer science major. Sometimes, a different title is used for the program, e.g., computer forensics, information assurance, etc.</p>

<p>In addition to the links provided by Zapfino, a number of Tech schools also offer an undergraduate major or concentration, including: RIT, NJIT, Stevens, SUNY IT, IIT. </p>
<p>I’m likewise helping my son identify schools, we’ve so far visited Champlain and RIT and liked both for different reasons.</p>
<p>I’m not in this exact one but I go to Valparaiso and they have an online program for cyber security: <a href=“https://onlinecybersecurity.valpo.edu/”>Master's Degree in Cyber Security - Department of Computing and Information Sciences;
