To address the national shortage of cyber security faculty members, the goal of 4Y College to MS/PhD Cyber Bridge programs is to engage CAE-4Y students with the CAE-R campus faculty and peers for successful transition into CAE-R cyber programs.
• Connect CAE-4Y juniors and CAE-4Y faculty members to the faculty mentors from regional and national CAE-R
colleges.
• Provide graduate advice based on the student’s area of cyber interest.
• Connect participants with CAE-R peer mentors from regional and national CAE-R schools
• Provide professional development training for successful graduate admissions to one of the CAE-R schools
• Provide information about PhD scholarships and cybersecurity scholarships such as NSF CyberCorps SFS and
DoD CySP program.
• Provide hands-on training and networking opportunities at grad school cyber bridge track at USCyBridgeCon
The committee will have members from experienced CAE-4Y and CAE-R faculty members with program experience in NSF CyberCorps SFS and DoD CySP program. Please visit the Get Involved page for more information.
