Two students using desktop computers

六合彩网址大全 and the University of Oklahoma Polytechnic Institute at OU-Tulsa have established a transfer map to provide 六合彩网址大全 students with a streamlined pathway to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Cybersecurity.

The 六合彩网址大全 and OUPI transfer pathway map consists of a semester-by-semester guide that shows students what classes are needed to complete an A.S. in Computer Information Systems at 六合彩网址大全, and the classes needed after transferring to OUPI to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Cybersecurity. Following a transfer map affirms students are on-time and on-track for transfer and degree completion.

鈥淲e鈥檝e worked extensively on this pathway to serve as a comprehensive map to a four-year Cybersecurity degree that students can start at 六合彩网址大全,鈥 said Travis White, Ph.D., 六合彩网址大全鈥檚 dean of Business and Information Technology. 鈥淭his map creates a seamless credit transfer process between 六合彩网址大全 and OUPI and provides students with clear guidance on what specific credits they need to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree. We thank OUPI for their collaborative efforts in ensuring students are transfer-ready for the next step in their education.鈥

OUPI is focused on high-demand, advanced, and applied technology-based education. OUPI prepares graduates to transform industries in Oklahoma by offering innovative programs meeting growing demands in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, software development and integration, digital manufacturing, and health information systems.

鈥淲e are so grateful for our partnership with 六合彩网址大全 and the completion of this first transfer map is part of a wonderful ongoing collaboration,鈥 said Teri Reed, Ph.D., founding director of OUPI. 鈥淎t OUPI we are a student-ready college so smoothing the way for students to transition from the computer information systems program at 六合彩网址大全 into the OUPI cybersecurity bachelor鈥檚 is an important accomplishment.鈥

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the number of cybersecurity jobs to increase 32 percent in the next decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. A shift to remote work and the growth of e-commerce have created increased demand for enhanced security as cyberattacks become more frequent.

The first OUPI degree program, a bachelor鈥檚 completion degree in Cybersecurity, begins in Fall 2024.
