The University of South Carolina Aiken is partnering with the SANS 
Technology Institute to provide the students in the university's 
Bachelor of Science program in Applied Computer Science - Cybersecurity 
the option of completing the 12-credit Undergraduate Certificate in 
Applied Cybersecurity at SANS.edu as part of the UofSC Aiken 
cybersecurity degree program.  The Certificate provides graduates with 
three GIAC certifications that, according to recent data, make those 
students three times as likely to chosen for cybersecurity job 
interviews than students with the certifications commonly earned by 
cybersecurity graduates.
