Elite Designation for Cyber Ops Program From NSA

A program at the University of Arizona that began only 18 months ago has been recognized as one of the best in the country for 2018-2019.

The UA’s program in cyber operations, based at its Sierra Vista campus and taught both traditionally and online, has received official designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations, or CAE-CO, by the National Security Agency, an arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. After an extensive application process, the NSA made a site visit in April. It will make a formal announcement of the UA’s designation on June 6.

Although about 150 four-year colleges and universities, including the UA, have been designated as Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education, or CAE-CDE, only 20 institutions have achieved CAE-CO status, which affirms an emphasis on specialized cyber ops technologies and techniques. The smaller group also includes the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Military Academy and Naval Postgraduate School.
