UAH designated as National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense

The designation process requires a review of a cybersecurity program of study and an established center for cybersecurity at the university. The university was originally designated in 2007 and this is the university’s second renewal. “The National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense designation is a symbol of quality that tells students and employers that UAH cybersecurity degrees are mapped to knowledge units based on national standards, that the university implements a continuous improvement process to manage degree programs and that UAH contributes to the cybersecurity community locally and nationally,” Dr. Tommy Morris said in a statement. Dr. Morris is the founding director of the UAH Center for Cybersecurity Research and Education.
