What about your experience studying Cybersecurity led you not to recommend the major?

The school doesn't offer a lot of cybersecurity courses and there isn't as much resources/support when it comes to cybersecurity co-ops. Most of the core requirements for the major are CS courses, with a handful of CY courses. Besides the CY courses and maybe a few of the CS courses, the major is filled with a lot of irrelevant courses like theory of computation, ECE, and math past calc 1.
