Now more than ever, the need for cybersecurity expertise in the financial industry is critical, but not enough cybersecurity professionals specialize in the banking and financial services industry. Currently, 72% of financial institution Chief Risk Officers view cybersecurity as the top year-ahead risk (Ernst & Young, 2023).
EKU’s curriculum blends academic and professional preparation through course topics such as corporate finance, entrepreneurial finance, forensic accounting, and investment and portfolio theory.
