University Of Texas - San Antonio recently issued the following announcement.

Eleven UTSA programs are receiving high praise and recognition after placing amongst other U.S. schools on Intelligent.com’s best institution programs list for 2022.

The higher education resource guide for online/on-campus program rankings and higher education planning identified UTSA’s top programs based on flexibility, faculty, course strength, cost and reputation.

They also calculated an Intelligent Score for each program on a scale of 0 to 100 based on program strength, student readiness, return on investment, cost, and student engagement.

Intelligent.com ranked its cybersecurity program No. 6 out of 39 in the U.S for Best Cyber Security Degree Programs. The publication’s list highlights B.S. and M.S. degrees in cybersecurity and cyber defense, plus security-related certificate programs. To determine the best cybersecurity degree programs, Intelligent.com assessed 166 universities and colleges and compared 222 education programs.

At UTSA, undergraduate students can earn a B.S. degree in computer science offered with optional concentrations in cybersecurity, data science, cloud and systems, software engineering, or the highly specialized cyber operations track.
