The University of Tulsa proposes to add four new cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students to their existing CyberCorps(R) Scholarship for Service (SFS) program in cybersecurity with a strong background in computer science, engineering, business and law. The program integrates rigorous, hands-on learning with research, professional development and outreach activities. The students will serve as summer interns to gain practical experience and will join federal agencies or other eligible entities upon graduation. The Tulsa Program offers multiple technical and interdisciplinary tracks, each characterized by a focused, yet flexible, program of study. The intense "MacGyver Track" imparts reverse engineering and cyber operations skills geared for the intelligence community. Other tracks prepare students for research, operations and project management. The interdisciplinary M.B.A. and Law Tracks combine business and law classes, respectively, with six cyber security and systems courses. The common thread is the "Teaching Hospital Model" -- hands-on courses involving real-world projects with law enforcement, the intelligence community and critical infrastructure owners and operators, and strong collaboration with embedded government personnel. The program components are designed to have a broad and lasting impact. Existing efforts to engage members of underrepresented groups and non-traditional students will be intensified, and arrangements to accept community college graduates will be expanded. CyberCorps(R) students will collaborate on real-world projects with federal agency personnel to gain practical experience and enhance internship and job placement prospects. Other innovative aspects of the proposal are (1) diverse studies, ranging from computer science and chemical engineering to business and law, all built around a strong cybersecurity core; (2) flexible program components that prepare students for careers in intelligence, research, operations, project management, enterprise security, and law and policy; and (3) integration of traditional, non-traditional and underrepresented students in an inclusive and collaborative learning culture. The project will also offer sustained mentoring and student involvement in community service and outreach activities.

塔尔萨大学提议在现有的网络安全CyberCorps（R）服务奖学金（SFS）计划中增加四批新的本科生和研究生，这些学生在计算机科学，工程，商业和法律方面具有很强的背景。该计划将严格的实践学习与研究，专业发展和推广活动相结合。学生将作为暑期实习生获得实践经验，毕业后将加入联邦机构或其他符合条件的实体。该塔尔萨计划提供了多个技术和跨学科的轨道，每个特点是一个重点突出，但灵活的学习计划。激烈的“MacGyver Track”传授面向情报界的逆向工程和网络操作技能。其他轨道准备学生的研究，运营和项目管理。跨学科MBA和法律课程分别将联合收割机商业和法律课程与六门网络安全和系统课程相结合。共同的主线是“教学医院模式”-实践课程，涉及与执法部门、情报界和关键基础设施所有者和运营商的实际项目，以及与嵌入式政府人员的密切合作。该计划的组成部分旨在产生广泛而持久的影响。将加强现有的努力，使代表性不足的群体和非传统学生的成员，并将扩大接受社区学院毕业生的安排。CyberCorps（R）的学生将与联邦机构人员在现实世界的项目中合作，以获得实践经验，提高实习和就业前景。该提案的其他创新方面是（1）多样化的研究，从计算机科学和化学工程到商业和法律，都围绕着强大的网络安全核心建立;（2）灵活的课程组成部分，为学生在情报，研究，运营，项目管理，企业安全以及法律和政策方面的职业生涯做好准备;及（3）融合传统、非传统及代表性不足的学生，营造共融及协作的学习文化。该项目还将提供持续的辅导和学生参与社区服务和外联活动。
