Bridgeport – October 19, 2026 -- The University of Bridgeport (UB) and CYBER.ORG have launched a national partnership that lets high school students earn college credit and industry-recognized credentials in cybersecurity, the first time CYBER.ORG's curriculum has been paired with a university partner to create an early college pathway.
UB faculty will convert CYBER.ORG curricula into college-level coursework
UB faculty and academic leaders will work with CYBER.ORG to adapt its existing cybersecurity curricula into college-level courses and build the academic framework. The program draws on UB's ABET-accredited School of Engineering, which includes cybersecurity and artificial intelligence programs, and on hands-on learning in the Interdisciplinary Emerging Technologies (IET) Lab.
