Augusta University is proud to be a designated Center of Academic Excellence, specifically in the areas of Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) and Cyber Operations (CAE-CO). As part of the NCAE-C program, SCCS joins an elite network of academic institutions that meet rigorous standards for cybersecurity education, research and outreach. These designations are sponsored jointly by the National Security Agency (NSA) and several federal agencies such as:
Out of 463 NCAE institutions across the country, 417 hold a designation in cyber defense, but only 22 institutions have earned the cyber operations designation. SCCS not only joins this exclusive group but also becomes one of only two universities in Georgia to hold two NCAE designations.
