Bachelor of ScienceCybersecurity (BS)
Randolph-Macon College
Cybersecurity is a computing-based discipline that involves the creation, operation, analysis, and testing of secure systems, networks, and applications to protect against a variety of digital threats. The cybersecurity curriculum is based on national standards and builds on a computer science foundation. The curriculum emphasizes four main areas of cybersecurity: information security, software security, network security, and system security. Mindful of the rapid changes in technology, the curriculum seeks to prepare students for lifelong learning to enable them to meet future challenges. A student expecting to major in cybersecurity should complete CSCI 111 and CSCI 112 in the first year.
Capstone experiences offered by the Department of Computer Science include CSCI 401, CSCI 403, and CSCI 485, all of which are available to majors in cybersecurity.

| Considerations for Selecting Degree | Cybersecurity is a computing-based discipline that involves the creation, operation, analysis, and testing of secure systems, networks, and applications to protect against a variety of digital threats. The cybersecurity curriculum at R-MC provides an in-depth study of four main areas within the discipline: data security, network security, computer security, and security policy. This structure will provide students with a solid foundation that will enable them to immediately begin a career in a Cybersecurity related field or to further their studies in discipline specializations through graduate level programs. Student chapter of The Associating of Computing Machinery (The ACM), which is the professional and educational society of the computer science discipline. E-Sports We also have a large number of athletes, especially on the football, baseball, basketball (both men’s and women’s teams), and swimming (both men’s and women’s teams). Please note: Students enrolled at Randolph-Macon College attend classes primarily Monday-Friday between 8 am - 5 pm with very few evening courses. The large majority of RMC coursework is offered in-person and on campus. A very limited selection of online courses is offered in summer sessions. No more than one half of the courses on a major or minor can be transferred; at least one-half of the semester hours of the major or minor must be taken at Randolph-Macon. |

| Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses | A major component of the cybersecurity major at R-MC is a focus on effective communication. Effective communication is a cornerstone of the discipline and a necessity for most job opportunities related to cybersecurity. Throughout the program, students are required to complete multiple writing assignments and make multiple classroom presentations on various topics related to the discipline. These assignments provide students multiple opportunities to improve and build their experience in communicating effectively and opportunities to work with individually faculty members to improve in this area as they progress through the program. Students at R-MC are required to complete a capstone experience in their senior year. For the cybersecurity major, students must complete a project that applies knowledge obtained from the required content of the major to a real-world problem of their choosing. Our students have the opportuntiy to expand on their work with a problem from an earlier course that is of interest to them or they can explore new areas beyond the courses and topics covered by the major itself. The latter provides a wide range of possibilities and an opportunity not found at most other institutions. |
| Doing More With Your Degree | While in the program, students have opportunities to conduct research in collaboration with a faculty member. Some examples of previous studies are: Evaluating the Security of Smart Home Internet of Things Ethan Olmsted (primary investigator) and Dr. Rance Necaise (research advisor) SURF Project – Summer 2022 The goal of this research was to determine whether security related smart home devices could withstand a cyber attack such as a denial-of-service (DOS) attack. If not, it could be possible for criminals to gain access to the premises in the event the security system is interrupted or taken offline. To test the devices, we designed and configured a simple replica of a home security system using a variety of smart home devices connected to a private network like those found in residential areas. Multiple simulated network attacks were performed on the devices, both individually and as a group. We found that all of the items were susceptible to network attacks to varying degrees. Some devices were not responsive during the actual attack, while others lost their network connection completely and shutdown. Graduates from our program are employed with companies such as: Booz Allen Hamilton Sentera Hospital Systems National Reconnaissance Office |
| Program Successes & Highlights | The computer science department has state of the art laboratory facilities available for a wide variety of courses and for student and faculty research. The department uses both Windows and Linux systems and has a wide variety of software available for both. Most of the computer science and cybersecurity courses, beyond the introductory sequence, rely on the use of Linux systems, which is a resource typically found only at larger research universities. All of our computer labs are accessible to students 24/7 when the college is in session. The department has a state of the art security laboratory that houses a collection of network hardware and computer systems for use in the network and computer security courses. This lab is used by students to test, evaluate, and observe a wide variety of network and system attacks on physical hardware and computer systems. This is a unique feature to the R-MC program that is typically only found at larger research universities. Most cybersecurity programs rely on virtual computers and networks for teaching the security courses, but that setup can not convey the same real-world experience as using actual computers and networks. |
