In June 2014, the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command designated the University of Cincinnati (UC) as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) for five consecutive academic years.

UC is the thirteenth of eighteen CAE-COs and offers a technical, interdisciplinary curriculum centered in fields such as computer science, computer engineering, information technology, political science, and criminology. Our educational offerings covers the entire cybersecurity spectrum -- human behavior and strategic policy analysis, software and network integration, algorithm development, data encryption and information security analytics.

As an extension of President Obama’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, the CAE-CO’s supports the government’s effort to better protect cyberspace. “The nation increasingly needs professionals with highly technical cyber skills to help keep America safe today and to help the country meet future challenges and adapt with greater agility“ according to Dr. Stephen LaFountain, Dean of the College of Cyber at the National Security Agency.
