Accelerated Program for Existing College Graduates Now Enrolling in Virginia Beach and Northern Virginia

People go to college for a lot of different reasons. Some know exactly what they want to do upon enrollment, while others try to sort it out at the last minute. Yet many graduate without a specific plan, or with a degree that is aligned with a specific industry. Without a plan, many of these graduates find themselves unsatisfied and unfulfilled.

What if you could go back and change things? You could study for a future that's not four years away -- but only 12 months away! With ECPI University's new Bachelors to Bachelors in Cyber and Network Security Program, it is possible. 

At ECPI University's Virginia Beach and Northern Virginia campuses, we offer classes on how to protect networks against inside and outside threats such as hackers, malware, spyware, and viruses. Our Cyber and Network Security Bachelor of Science (Degree Completion) Program focuses on cybercrime detection, as well as the design, development, and implementation of tools and software.

Students have the opportunity to build networks, as well as design and develop strategies to assist clients with technical problems, and keep their networks secure. Courses include:

  • Computing Fundamentals
  • Programming & Database Fundamentals
  • Networking Fundamentals
  • Security Fundamentals
  • Security+ Boot Camp
  • Windows Administration
  • Linux Administration
  • Routing & Switching Fundamentals
  • Cloud Administration
  • Ethical Hacking

Do you have what it takes to succeed in this kind of technical field? ECPI University has produced many graduates who had no technical background whatsoever, people like 2019 Cyber and Network Security graduate Beau Dorman.

"I was a grunt in the army, worked outside, and lifted heavy things," he says. "I had never been to college and had no background in computers. I started college nearly 15 years after I graduated from high school. I've come a long way from zero credits with no technical background to where I am now. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can do it!" Beau has since found work at Cisco as a network consulting engineer.

But the job is more than the work. People who work in Cyber and Network Security also derive satisfaction from knowing that they are making a difference. Every single day, they protect sensitive personal information and even national defense systems from hackers and a wide range of cybercriminals.
