Cloud Computing Online Degree Program Overview

We live in an online world and the Cloud is at the center of it all. For those who are unschooled in this technology, its sheer size would be difficult to comprehend. As consumers, we use the Cloud every day, each time we Skype, transfer a document on Dropbox or save one on Google Docs. And for most businesses, it’s by far the most cost-effective way to store data and manage IT services. Here are just some of the things we can do with the cloud:

  • Store, back up, and recover data
  • Stream audio and video
  • Create new apps and services
  • Deliver software on demand
  • Analyze data for patterns
  • Host websites and blogs

The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security have designated ECPI University as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) for the Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science: Cyber and Information Security Technology major, Cybersecurity Track through academic year 2028.
