UCCS’ Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE-C) Cybersecurity Faculty Development program recently launched its first two fully online cybersecurity courses: Core Concepts in Networking and Pedagogy and Technology in Cybersecurity Teaching. The courses are free and available to any professionals interested in learning or teaching cybersecurity.
