Fall 2026 marks the first year of a new undergraduate program within the Faculty of Science at TMU. An expansion on traditional cybersecurity training, the interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Cyber Science program covers much more than just technical skills. Not only will students learn to analyze system vulnerabilities and develop secure code, but they will also understand the legal, social, business, and ethical considerations, enabling them to communicate with decision-makers. In this episode, Dr. Marcus Santos, computer science professor and inaugural program director, gives us the inside scoop on what’s to come in the new program and how it will prepare students for the future of cybersecurity.
