This is about intelligence and cyber operations, but IR is the closest comparison. It is about cybersecurity and information security.

Good major either if your interested in International relations or cyber security. Focuses a lot of digital forensics since thats what it was made for originally. Great professors, the professors who made this major as currently teaching its main courses. Lots of options to spec into other cyber options or International relations. Lots of companies are aware of the DF programs in USC's Intelligence and Cyber Operations major so it's not difficult to network at all. Does require a lot of work, but it's not difficult in the traditional sense.

i just just transferred here but i really love my major so far. i feel so refreshed learning about new things every day, and even though its a challenge getting the basics down as someone who is new to the major, im excited to tackle it
