BoardLake-Sumter State College Notice Of Intent 2027
This Notice of Intent outlines Lake-Sumter State College's proposal for a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Cybersecurity program. The program is designed to build upon existing Associate in Science degrees and provide a seamless pathway for students, including those with Associate in Arts degrees, into a high-demand, high-wage technology career. It aims to address a critical, unmet workforce need for cybersecurity professionals in the local and regional service areas, citing skyrocketing demand due to increasing cyber threats and the absence of similar baccalaureate degree pathways from other state institutions in the service area.
