Lakeland’s IT&CS program offers seven associate degree concentrations as well as seven industry professional certificates and professional development in the field. The department is currently working to implement another new degree program in cybersecurity, a job field in which an estimated 3.5 million workers will be needed in the U.S. by 2021 according to a report by the Northeast Ohio Institutions of Higher Learning. Transfer opportunities into bachelor’s and master’s degree programs at other Ohio institutions are also available through Lakeland’s IT&CS program.
