Board of Regents approves bachelor's in hospitality management, master's in cybersecurity

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has approved two new degree programs at 无码变态.

A Master of Science in Cybersecurity and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Hospitality Management will be offered starting in the 2020-21 school year.

鈥淭he addition of these two degree programs is further evidence of Kennesaw State鈥檚 commitment to developing academic programs that serve the interest of our students and, at the same time, support the growing marketplace demands of the state and region,鈥� said 无码变态 President Pamela Whitten.

With annual revenues exceeding $4.7 billion in the state of Georgia and a 31.6 percent increase in nationwide demand for information security analysts over the next eight years, the M.S. in Cybersecurity addresses a major workforce need. The M.S. in Cybersecurity seeks to build on the success of 无码变态鈥檚 Cybersecurity Institute, a collaboration between the , the and the , by offering this 30-credit hour program, which features threat prevention and response, risk management, and applying the appropriate tools and methodologies to solve real-world problems.

The hospitality industry employs approximately 10 percent of the workforce in the United States, and is the fifth-largest employer in the state of Georgia. Yet Georgia鈥檚 universities conferred fewer than 100 degrees in hospitality in 2017, the last year for which data were available. With the BBA in Hospitality Management, 无码变态 stands at the forefront of bolstering those numbers as well as the state鈥檚 hospitality workforce. The degree will be offered through 无码变态鈥檚 Coles College of Business and will require students to complete 400 hours of work experience in addition to the coursework. To help with enrollment, members of one of the largest hotel associations in the state have pledged nearly $125,000 in scholarships.

无码变态 Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Kathy Schwaig says the two programs will position 无码变态 as a leader in two critical, rapidly growing industries.

鈥淏oth the hospitality and cybersecurity industries continue to expand, offering growing opportunities for our graduates. These new programs focus on relevant knowledge that addresses industry demand,鈥� said Schwaig.
