About the program
The Digital Transformation Center presents the Cybersecurity Workforce Program. Designed to equip participants with the skills needed to excel in cybersecurity, this program offers a flexible learning path tailored to different levels of expertise.
This program is the result of a collaborative effort led by the University of Louisville. As part of a national initiative, UofL is spearheading a Coalition of schools to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum. Each school in this coalition is designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a National Center of Academic Excellence (NCAE) in Cyber Defense, contributing their unique expertise and skills in cybersecurity systems.

Program bundles and modules
The full Cybersecurity Workforce Program includes 23 modules, including a final capstone project, designed to be completed within a maximum of 6 months.
Flexible learning Paths
Alternatively you can choose from three levels: Explorer, Practitioner, and Professional, with 6–8 modules each, or smaller specialized bundles of 3–6 modules.
Durations indicate the maximum time allowed, but since the program is fully asynchronous, you can finish sooner based on your schedule and prior knowledge.
Note for all bundles:
Each bundle includes assignments and examples tailored to either a healthcare or logistics concentration. The core content remains the same regardless of the concentration you choose.
