Undergraduate Program Cybersecurity Minor
Cybersecurity is a critical aspect of the world's digital infrastructure. Industries and agencies worldwide are seeking professionals with knowledge and skills in cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity Minor offered by the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will provide students with a strong foundation in the principles and methodologies of cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity Minor Objectives
The Cybersecurity Minor Program combines:
- Fundamentals of computer engineering including digital logic, algorithmic computations, computer architectures, and computer networks.
- A rich set of cybersecurity specialization courses to allow students to broaden their knowledge within any of several cybersecurity areas.
Cybersecurity Minor Requirements
The minor requires 22 units total, of which 9 units must be exclusive (not double counted for a major or another minor).
All students pursuing the minor must complete the following courses (13 units):
| Course | Course Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| ECE 85 | Digital Logic Design | 3 |
| CSCI 41 | Introduction to Data Structures | 4 |
| ECE 118 | Microprocessor Architecture and Programming | 3 |
| ECE 146 | Computer Networks | 3 |
In addition, students pursuing the minor must complete the following nine (9) units:
Another cybersecurity course taken at Fresno State or at another accredited institution with prior approval of the department chair can count towards three (3) units from these nine (9) units:
| Course | Course Title | Units |
|---|---|---|
| ECE 150 | Cloud and Cybersecurity | 3 |
