Note:
1.1.1; 1.3.2. The purpose of this program is to increase the number of local or domestic graduate students pursuing a master's of science (MS) in computer science (CS) with an emphasis on cyber intelligence and cybersecurity at Texas A&M University – Kingsville (TAMUK). The program seeks to encourage the local or domestic students at the undergraduate level pursuing the cyber intelligence minor degree program at TAMUK by providing financial support for them to continue to graduate studies and enroll in the MS in CS degree program at TAMUK. This will help grow the number of graduates to join the national cybersecurity workforce to work in governmental agencies or corporate jobs. This can grow the workforce actively building and securing the nation’s defenses against cyber threats and attacks, both for federal and corporate cyber infrastructure. This program will also improve the enrollment, retention rate and graduation rate of domestic students in computer science at the graduate level and increase the cybersecurity workforce at the national level.
