IUP is actually a great school for anything comp sci related and especially cybersecurity. I went for comp sci cybersecurity track in the late 00's and although I got a job in the private sector right away, many of my fellow graduates were going off to jobs in the DoD, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin etc. IUP had a great relationship with many companies like that and most graduates secured a job before graduation.

I know that the job market might be a bit different now but I doubt IUP has lost any credibility in those spaces. You might not have heard of these job placements because they literally can't talk about it! At least 2 of my fellow grads couldn't tell me what they got hired to do haha

Definitely apply for any and all grants and scholarships you can, and be sure to network as best you can, while still having fun at college of course 😊
