Cyber Security - IVY Tech
Cybersecurity is a rewarding, in-demand career path, but it may seem intimidating and complex at first. Therefore, Ivy Tech has created two ways for students to try out Cybersecurity with quick non-credit classes that can help you develop a valuable industry skill.
FREE Online Cybersecurity Classes with the Cisco Networking Academy
Ivy Tech has partnered with Cisco's Networking Academy to provide two free non-credit classes for students interested in cybersecurity, but just not sure it's for them yet. These classes are:
- Intro to Cybersecurity (15-hour online class)
- Cybersecurity Essentials (30-hour online class)
IVY Tech ASAP
Classes are held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Coursework is spread over five eight-week terms, or 2 ½ semesters. It’s a rewarding program—but a rigorous one, that will essentially become a student’s full-time occupation until graduation.
For additional information you can contact Dr. Kristina Samples at (ksamples@ivytech.edu)
