Computer Networking & Cybersecurity Major Curriculum

Champlain College has been designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance by the National Security Agency (NSA). The course content and curriculum meet the criteria established by the NSA and the Department of Homeland Security.

Our Upside-Down Curriculum allows you to begin taking web technology, web applications, databases, networking, and security classes beginning in your first semester. This early learning gives you more time to build your experience and take on meaningful internships.

Champlain's study abroad program is a great opportunity to gain global perspective. Our Computer Networking & Cybersecurity faculty built the curriculum to encourage you to take a semester abroad—your faculty advisor can help you ensure your credits fulfill major requirements.
