Study cyber leadership and intelligence and specialize in world affairs and human behavior

If you're interested in exploring how human behavior connects to cybersecurity, DSU’s cyber leadership and intelligence degree with a world affairs and human behavior specialization is a strong fit.

In this program, you’ll explore how national security has developed over time and how different parts of the U.S. government and other countries handle cyber threats. As you study the history and evolution of cybercrime, you’ll learn what drives people to commit these crimes and how psychology and culture influence their actions. By the end of the program, you’ll have a strong understanding of how human behavior, global affairs, and cybersecurity are all connected—and you’ll be prepared to lead teams and solve problems in international relations and global security.

If you'd like to add a minor, this program gives you the flexibility to choose one that fits your interests, such as cyber operations, foreign language, history, or sociology.
