Are there HBCUs with standout cybersecurity majors?

I've been doing a coding bootcamp and I’m totally hooked on the idea of going into cybersecurity. I want to support HBCUs and was hoping someone here can help point me to some that offer solid cybersecurity majors. Is there anyone here doing this who can speak to the quality of the education and resources available?

I'm delighted to hear about your passion for cybersecurity and your desire to attend an HBCU! While I'm not in the major myself, I can share that certain Historically Black Colleges and Universities are recognized for their strong programs in this field. For instance, Hampton University in Virginia offers an Information Assurance/Cybersecurity program that provides students with the necessary skills to protect information systems. Additionally, Norfolk State University has been designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. They offer a Bachelor's in Computer Science with a focus on Cybersecurity.

Beyond the academic curriculum, extracurricular opportunities like cybersecurity clubs, competitions such as the National Cyber League, and internships with tech companies or government agencies bolster the hands-on experience provided at these institutions. It would be beneficial for you to research these programs, reach out to admissions officers or department faculty, and perhaps connect with current students or alumni through social media or school forums to get a glimpse into their experiences and educational outcomes. These steps can help you gain more insight and make an informed decision about where to pursue your cybersecurity major.
