The program combines innovative academic cybersecurity courses with a residential college experience and engaging co-curricular activities, including college application preparation and NYC excursions.
This non-credit Fordham University Summer Leaders Academy program introduces high school students to the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and digital safety. Through hands-on activities, case studies, and real-world scenarios, participants will learn to identify and apply basic cybersecurity principles, including password hygiene, phishing awareness, and safe browsing practices. The curriculum covers common cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, and social engineering, and teaches strategies for prevention and mitigation. Students will gain an understanding of network structures and how firewalls, encryption, and authentication protect data. The program also delves into the ethical considerations within cybersecurity, including privacy, digital citizenship, and responsible online behavior. By the end of the course, students will have developed practical technical skills and a critical awareness of current cybersecurity challenges facing individuals and organizations.
Students attend classes daily in the morning and afternoon, focusing on cybersecurity principles through hands-on activities and case studies. Late afternoons and weekends include college application prep, career exploration, social activities, and chaperoned excursions around New York City.
This program is ideal for high school students who have completed their first year, are recommended to have a 3.0 GPA or better, and have no prior experience with cybersecurity.
