Leader of the pack
If you’re a natural born leader who has an interest in world cultures, international politics, and cyber systems, look no further than our Cyber Leadership and Intelligence (CLI) program.
This program is unique because it is one of only a few in the country. Challenge yourself as you enroll in courses that teach leadership concepts and practices. Gain knowledge in professional ethics. Sharpen your communication skills. Invest yourself in digital forensics. Study the combination of world affairs and human behavior.
If you’re looking to add a minor, this program is built to help you incorporate one of your choice:
- Cyber operations
- Foreign language
- History
- Sociology
“CLI was a perfect fit. I came to DSU knowing that I wanted to pursue Digital Forensics. This program allows me study Digital Forensics while also gaining a background in world culture, cyber ethics and human behavior; I get the best of both worlds. I'm gaining knowledge about computer security, leadership, human behavior, risk assessment, investigative steps and so much more. This program is a perfect fit for me to continue my path towards Digital Forensics.”
