AB  - With the growing interest in cyber security and lack of institutions with a degree program in the discipline in our region, designing, promoting and implementing a degree program in an institution that traditionally attracts students from the minority population will represent a viable pathway to increasing the participation of underrepresented minorities in this 2 emerging industry. After an extensive search we could not identify any Minority Serving Institution (MSI) that offers a degree program in Cyber Security in our region. This paper will describe how the Cyber Security program can contribute to the production of these vitally needed scientists, by increasing the number of underrepresented minorities and women with a degree in cyber security. The department of Engineering Technology currently offers an undergraduate degree in Computer Science Technology (CST). The CST curriculum is a hybrid of software and hardware courses designed to prepare graduates with a strong background in computer and information systems. This unique program would provide a good base for an academic program that addresses the cyber security problem. This paper will present a project, which will design and implement a cyber-security degree track in its CST program for students who wish to concentrate and develop strong skills in cybercrime detection, disruption and defenses. This paper will discuss the Curriculum grid showing the educational goals and the requirements for a baccalaureate (BS) degree in cyber security designed and published in the University catalogue. This curriculum will include both currently existing courses (including hardware courses) and the newly developed courses. The development of Cyber Security program is funded by the Department of Education.
