Missouri Valley College Launches Cybersecurity Degree Program
Missouri Valley College is proud to announce the launch of a new degree program in Cybersecurity in collaboration with Rize Education. This innovative partnership aims to equip students with the necessary skills to thrive in the rapidly growing field of cybersecurity. Classes begin this fall.
“Cybersecurity threats are very real and Missouri Valley is prepared to equip students with the tools to be successful on the front line of this nationwide battle,” said Dr. Joe Parisi, MVC president.
With the increasing prevalence of cyber threats and the critical need for skilled professionals to combat them, Missouri Valley will provide students with a comprehensive education in this high-demand field. This no-code cybersecurity program will prepare students for business focused roles that require less programming knowledge, and a greater understanding of systems, structures, threats and opportunities.
Through this new program, students will gain the knowledge and practical experience required to excel in cybersecurity careers. Alongside nearly zero percent unemployment, seven times the national average in job growth rate, and increased investments from the government, this field provides stable and lucrative opportunities for graduates.
“We are thrilled to partner with Rize Education to offer this cutting-edge degree program,” Parisi said. “By combining Rize’s online courses developed with industry leaders with our best-in-class on-campus academic and experiential learning experiences, we can provide students with a top-notch education that prepares them for success in the cybersecurity industry.
The program will cover a wide range of topics, including network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and risk management. Students will work with industry-standard tools, allowing them to develop hands-on skills that are highly sought after by employers. The program will also offer career counseling and job placement assistance to ensure graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce.
“Rize Education is excited to collaborate with Missouri Valley College in launching this Program,” said Kevin Harrington, CEO of Rize Education. “We believe that by combining academic excellence with real-world experience, we can partner with institutions to produce graduates who are not only knowledgeable but also job-ready.”
