The Cyber Security Education Consortium is a National Science Foundation ATE Regional Center of Excellence dedicated to building an information security workforce who will play a critical role in implementing the national strategy to secure cyberspace.  CSEC incorporates six key entities: Oklahoma's Career and Technology Education System, four of Oklahoma's largest two-year colleges (Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma State University-Okmulgee, Rose State College, and Tulsa Community College); and the University of Tulsa, an NSA-designated national faculty development center, which serves as the principal training provider and mentor to the two-year institutions.  Click here for a list of participating CareerTech centers.

 By leveraging partnerships with other universities, two-year colleges, and career and technology centers, CSEC provides education and training opportunities throughout Oklahoma and in major population centers in neighboring states. The center is developing and disseminating information assurance and forensics curricula to two-year colleges, both regionally and nationally; offering professional development opportunities to instructors from two-year colleges and assisting them in building programs at their own institutions; and designing and implementing workforce development programs in information assurance and forensics, which contribute to economic development and the national homeland security effort.
