CyberSecurity Development

To understand the scope of student opportunities enjoyed by Rose State College students, it is important to understand the uniqueness of its setting.  With 27,000 civilian and military personnel, Tinker Air Force Base is the largest air depot installation in the United States and the largest employer of the state of Oklahoma.  Many of these employees and their dependents are Rose State College students.  As Rose State College is located less than a mile from the gates, Rose State College has a long-standing relationship with the Base. Beginning in 1971, the College has been the preferred location for Tinker AFB training workshops.  In 2009, the College hosted 14,000 individuals in credit and non-credit training in the Professional Education and Training Center.  Approximately 90% of the training was Tinker AFB and related. 

To serve its constituents such as Tinker AFB and its contractors and the state of Oklahoma, Rose State College has developed many courses which incorporate CNSS certificates into the two-year associates degree. Faculty members associated with CSEC have worked across several states to standardize programs in the area of Cyber Security, Information Assurance and Digital Forensics.
