Best Value Schools recognized Kennesaw State’s Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree among the top 20 cheap online information systems security degree programs in the U.S.
When selecting schools, BVS included public and private universities with online information security programs. To focus on affordability, the ranking only considered universities with average tuition costs of less than $25,000 per year.
The list was ranked from most to least expensive, and KSU ranked No. 8. The average tuition for the program is $11,838 per year, according to the ranking.
“You’ll appreciate the broad curriculum, which combines technical topics with ones that focus on so-called ‘soft skills’ like technical writing,” the BVS website reads.
BVS commended KSU’s program for being one of the few universities on the list that includes the ethical hacking course in its curriculum, stating that “the ‘Information Assurance and Security’ concentration consists of four highly-relevant, career-focused courses, including one in Ethical Hacking.”
According to KSU’s website, the degree program allows for flexibility, offering the courses both online and in person.
The program consists of 121 credit hours and requires students to choose a concentration in enterprise systems, information assurance and security, health information technology or mobile and web development.
“The major contains those courses considered fundamental to the information technology field and the electives give the student some flexibility in choice,” the KSU website states.
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
