The University of New Haven's cybersecurity and networks program is one of the best in the country.

The University is one of only two schools in New England – and 21 in the country – to earn this distinction.

The cybersecurity industry is expected to reach $170 billion by 2020. By 2021, there are expected to be 3.5 million unfilled positions in cybersecurity worldwide.
