October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and due to high industry demand, Oklahoma City Community College is offering more cybersecurity courses.  A new 8-week term starts on Oct. 17, and most courses are offered online and on-campus.  All classes help students earn a certificate or associate degree.

“The Cyber/Information Security Program at OCCC has been a leader in bringing information security education to students since 2003,” said Dr. Mautra Staley Jones, OCCC President. “Because technology continues to grow, cybersecurity jobs are in demand now more than ever. OCCC’s cybersecurity program will prepare students for Oklahoma’s needs in this field.”

OCCC is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency. OCCC, in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges and Microsoft, is participating in the ‘Cyber Skills for All: Community Colleges Lead the Way’ initiative to bolster workforce development.
