Academics
The Tufts Department of Computer Science offers a concentration in Cyber Security for undergraduate computer science majors. Students may also want to review Computer Science courses for non-majors.
NOTE: As of Fall 2021, all Tufts Computer Science courses will be designated CS XXX rather than COMP XXX.
