[Section 3. New Program from Option/ Concentration/Track in an Existing Program ]
This section should be used to propose the creation of a new program from an option/concentration/track’ in existing,
registered programs, which is sometimes called “disaggregation.”
The new program must be based entirely on existing courses from an option/concentration/track in a registered program.
A new program proposal (SUNY Form 2A or 2B) must be submitted — instead of this form — when:
e the new program will be offered at a different location than the campuses identified in Section 1, or
a Master Plan Amendment is required for the new program, or
one or more new courses will be added to the program at the same time, or
there are changes to the program admissions, or
there will be changes to the evaluation elements
ecee
Note: The institution can use this form (3B) to register a new program from an existing option/concentration/track, and
make changes to it after it is registered by submitting Form 3A. As always, institutions can only advertise and offer a
program as it is currently registered.

a) List all registered options/concentrations/tracks and indicate which, if any, will be removed.
There will be one track — Cybersecurity — that is currently one of the tracks in the Informatics B.S. degree. The proposal is
to set up a Cybersecurity BS with the exact curriculum as the Cybersecurity concentration of the Informatics B.S.
[Section 3.2. Proposed New Program ]
a) Describe the new program and the rationale for converting the existing coursework to a separately registered program.
As part of efforts of the University at Albany’s College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and
Cybersecurity (CEHC) to rationalize their degree programs and to respond to ongoing and anticipated student demand,
we are proposing to create a stand-alone B.S. degree in Cybersecurity. This degree will be made up of the core and
concentration requirements of the current Cybersecurity concentration track in the current B.S. degree in Informatics
3 SUNY System uses these terms interchangeably.
4 If the current program(s) must remain in its current form until enrolled students have graduated, the anticipated effective date by which continuing
students will have completed the current version of the program(s).
4 of 18
offered by CEHC.
The Cybersecurity concentration of the current Informatics B.S. degree is far and away the most popular concentration
in the Informatics BS program. Since Fall 2019, it has increased in popularity from 33.8% of all students to 37.65% in
the Fall of 2021. It is currently 17.8% ahead of the second most popular concentration (Information Technology,
currently at 19.8%), and 22.8% ahead of the third-place concentration (Data Analytics, at 14.9%). With a Fall 2021
enrollment of 131 students, a stand-alone Cybersecurity B.S. degree would be in the top half of University at Albany
Bachelor’s degree programs, in terms of enrollments (for reference, the current Informatics BS is in the top quartile,
and the adjusted Informatics program would remain in the top half). All data are from the University at Albany
Business Information (BI) database.
The continuing large-scale interest in our Cybersecurity offerings indicates to us that it should be established as a
stand-alone degree. This will give current and future students, as well as potential employers, clarity as to the nature of
their program of study.
The proposed degree would constitute a high-quality Baccalaureate degree in Cybersecurity. It meets the standards
necessary for this type of degree. This is attested by the fit with ABET criteria in this area. While we are not at this
time proposing to immediately seek accreditation, the proposed program would meet many of the general criteria of an
ABET-accredited Cybersecurity degree (ABET document Criteria for Accrediting Computing Programs, available at
www.abet.org). Specifically, ABET is interested in a degree’s content in the following areas:
e Substantial Coverage of algorithms, complexity, theory, programming languages, and software development
(Core: INF 108, 203, Several electives)
e Substantial Coverage of at least one general purpose programming language (Core: INF 108 (Python), Several
core courses cover special purpose languages, several electives cover Python in increasing depth: INF 308,
405).
e Exposure to computer architecture and organization, networks, distributed computing (Core: INF 124X, 203,
405)
e The study of computing-based systems at varying levels of abstraction (Core: INF 100, 124X, 108, 201, 202,
203, Several elective courses)
e A major project that requires integration and application of knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course
work (Experiential learning requirements, esp. INF 465 - Capstone, INF 466 — Research)
e Apply security principles and practices to maintain operations in the presence of risks and threats (Core: INF
124X, 306, Several upper division electives)
e Application of the concepts of confidentiality, integrity, availability, risk, adversarial thinking, and systems
thinking (Core: INF 124X, 306, Several upper division electives)
e Data Security (Core: INF 124X, 202, Several electives)
e Software Security (Core: INF 124X, 108, Several electives)
e¢ Component Security (Core: INF 124X, 203)
e Connection Security (Core: INF 124X, 203)
e System Security (Core: INF 100, 124X, 306, Several electives)
e Human Security (Core: INF 100, 124X, Several electives, esp. INF 454)
e Organizational Security (Core: INF 100, 124X, 201, 305, Several electives, esp. INF 454)
e Societal Cybersecurity (Core: INF 100, 124X, Several electives, esp. INF 454)
e Advanced cybersecurity topics that build on crosscutting concepts and fundamental topics to provide depth
(The elective offerings fulfill this role, as well as the Experiential Learning courses, esp. INF 465 and INF
466).
b) Affirm that the admissions standards and evaluation methods are unchanged from the currently registered program.
5 of 18
°)
d)
e)
The admission standards and evaluation methods will remain unchanged from the currently registered program (the
BS. in Informatics). Neither the current nor proposed programs have admission standards or requirements beyond
those general to undergraduate admissions at the University at Albany. We are proposing no new courses, so the
evaluations in the program, that are based upon course performance, will also remain the same.
Explain the expected impact of the new program on existing programs (enrollment, facilities, budget, faculty
assignments, etc.)
There will be no net change in resources from the existing configuration to one that splits out the Cybersecurity
concentration of the existing Informatics B.S. degree and stands it up as its own degree. Both programs will be
administered, taught, and advised out of the same unit, the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security,
and Cybersecurity (CEHC). As mentioned above, the proposed programs will both be viable, with enrollments that put
them in the top half of all UAlbany majors by enrollment. Given the existing courses, faculty, etc. there will be no
changes in costs, teaching assignments, facilities or other resources resulting from the creation of the proposed new
B.S. program.
To accommodate recent and anticipated growth, CEHC will move in the Summer of 2022 to a department model. The
new relevant departments will be Information Science, that will house the existing Informatics B.S. degree, and
Cybersecurity, that will house the degree proposed here. Enrollments, facilities, budget, faculty assignments, etc. will
be coordinated between the two departments, and overseen by CEHC.
Describe adjustments the institution will make to its current resource allocations to support the new program.
There is no significant resource re-allocation due to the proposed program. The current Informatics B.S. program,
including the current Cybersecurity concentration is administered, taught, and advised out of the University at
Albany’s College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cybersecurity (CEHC). The new, proposed
Cybersecurity B.S. degree program will also be taught out of the same College, and be administered, taught, and
advised in the same way, and by the same people.
To accommodate recent and anticipated growth, CEHC will move in the Summer of 2022 to a department model. The
new relevant departments will be Jnformation Science, that will house the existing Informatics B.S. degree, and
Cybersecurity, that will house the degree proposed here. Resource allocations will be coordinated between the two
departments, and overseen by CEHC.
