The estimated tuition cost is $15,586.80.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the first bachelor\u2019s degree program added by MDC since 2016. The College currently offers 22 bachelor\u2019s programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It was a really long process because [you] need to have a really strong community engagement and support from local industry, local companies and leaders,&#8221; Delgado said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the new bachelor\u2019s degree program isn\u2019t the only way that MDC has expanded its cybersecurity offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The School of Engineering and Technology received three grants this summer from the National Security Agency and the National Science Foundation\u2014totaling more than $500,000\u2014to strengthen the College&#8217;s cybersecurity curriculum and its cybersecurity pathway from high school to college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of those grants, the school will offer summer training programs for Miami-Dade County public high school teachers and students interested in exploring the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The College also opened the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wolfson-campus-offers-new-cybersecurity-training-program\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Cybersecurity Center of the Americas<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, a facility designed to mimic a security operations center, in the fall of 2018.

At the center, students can also obtain hands-on experience in writing code and creating security programs. They can also attend forums and events about cybersecurity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cyber Range is similar to a flight simulator, a professional virtual environment created to train cybersecurity professionals in the most real-world scenario possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The computers and programs are similar to the ones that are used in the professional world,\u201d said Jorge Ortega, the CyberSecurity Center director. \u201cThe key training platform is called the Cyber Range, which is able to simulate real-world cyberattacks and provide students with the critical hands-on skills needed to be a cybersecurity professional.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the coronavirus pandemic forced the world\u2019s economy to move online, it gave hackers an influx of activity to work with.
