Part 2: Program Summary
Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program |

Overall our cyber program is doing well. We have seen any increase in the number of declared majors from 202 last year to 232 this year. One of the most difficult thing for many cyber programs is the lab environment. These environments need to be flexible and easy to use for students and faculty. Students not only need to be able to access the lab environment from campus but also from their homes as well.
Last year this was a challenge with both the environment itself and the number of labs that we had to our disposal. This year we have come a long way and this is quickly becoming one of the strengths of the program. |
