About the Department
The University of Nebraska at Kearney's Cyber Systems Department is empowering cyber professionals through career-focused learning and research. Our faculty are deeply committed to experiential learning, providing students with opportunities to develop practical skills in authentic environments. Our mini data center in Discovery Hall makes it possible to create immersive, hands-on experiences that complement classroom learning.
Our three degree programs share a common core, allowing students to learn together as a cohort while exploring different career pathways without adding time to their degree. We also work closely with industry partners to ensure our curriculum reflects current workforce needs and prepares students with the knowledge and skills employers value.

“We have top-notch professors here. The faculty work with students really closely. It’s a more personalized experience, and that makes the curriculum much better compared to a larger school. Instead of just listening to lectures and completing assignments and exams, you can interact with your professors, ask questions and look for answers together.”

“My opportunities are pretty much endless. I will always have a job because nearly every business and organization needs IT support. And I can work from wherever I am, as long as I have a solid internet connection.”

“I felt the professors really cared about my education and took time to meet one-on-one for any help I needed. Instead of being handed answers to my many questions, my professors encouraged me to dig deeper and look closer at the problem at hand to find the solution. This was by far the greatest asset going into my career as a CS security professional.”
