Abstract
Amid the ever-increasing number of cyberthreats, cybersecurity degree programs represent a potential growth area for business schools. This study examines undergraduate cybersecurity programs offered by AACSB-accredited business schools in the US. It surveyed 503 AACSB-accredited schools and identified 72 cybersecurity programs. Using the IS2020 and CAE-CD standards, this study assessed these programs’ core curricula and found that the top three core courses are Cybersecurity Foundations, Application Development and Programming, and IT Infrastructure. A cybersecurity curriculum model is developed based on the survey results. The results are compared with those of a 2017 study to gain insights into the evolution of cybersecurity curricula in business schools.
