Pace University 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 multiple pathway approach to recruit and guide students through different academic programs based on their background and interests. With support for either two or three years, all Pace scholars will graduate with a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree, a five-year combined degree, or a PhD. All scholars will fulfill core curriculum requirements in both cybersecurity and mathematics, as well as interdisciplinary curriculum requirements in either criminal justice or business management. The scholars will also be expected to complete research projects and professional development activities as outlined through competency-based advisement. With a solid background in computing and flexibility to accommodate different talents, the program will help meeting the diverse demands of government employment in the field of cybersecurity. The scholars will be able to apply not only computing knowledge but also knowledge from a relevant discipline, such as mathematics, criminal justice, or business administration. The graduates will therefore be able to conduct tasks in specialty areas defined in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Workforce Framework such as information assurance compliance, network security administration, or digital forensics. The objectives of the Pace CyberCorps project are 1) to produce fourteen to seventeen cybersecurity professionals entering the government workforce upon graduation over five years; 2) to prepare cybersecurity professionals with diverse educational backgrounds by using a multiple pathway approach; 3) to support diversity in the field of information technology by providing opportunities for students from underrepresented groups; 4) to mentor non-SFS institutions and their students through academic partnerships; 5) to strengthen collaboration between Pace and its government partners, and 6) to generate interest in becoming cybersecurity professionals among broader student populations both at Pace and at our partner institutions. The broader impacts of Pace CyberCorps include outreach activities to increase the number of students studying in cybersecurity who are from groups underrepresented in information technology; broaden the impact of the program through academic partnerships; and mentor non-SFS institutions and provide scholarship opportunities for their graduates.

佩斯大学建议在现有的网络安全CyberCorps（R）服务奖学金（SFS）计划中增加四个新的本科生和研究生群体，采用多途径方法，根据学生的背景和兴趣招募和指导学生通过不同的学术课程。在两年或三年的支持下，所有佩斯学者将获得学士学位，硕士学位，五年制综合学位或博士学位。所有学者都将满足网络安全和数学的核心课程要求，以及刑事司法或企业管理的跨学科课程要求。学者们还将完成研究项目和专业发展活动，通过基于能力的培训概述。凭借坚实的计算背景和灵活性，以适应不同的人才，该计划将有助于满足政府就业在网络安全领域的多样化需求。学者将能够应用不仅计算知识，而且从相关学科的知识，如数学，刑事司法，或工商管理。因此，毕业生将能够在国家网络安全教育倡议（NICE）劳动力框架中定义的专业领域执行任务，例如信息保证合规性，网络安全管理或数字取证。Pace CyberCorps项目的目标是：（1）在五年内培养14至17名网络安全专业人员毕业后进入政府工作队伍;（2）通过使用多途径方法培养具有不同教育背景的网络安全专业人员;（3）通过为代表性不足的群体的学生提供机会，支持信息技术领域的多样性; 4）通过学术合作伙伴关系指导非SFS机构及其学生; 5）加强Pace与其政府合作伙伴之间的合作，以及6）在Pace和我们的合作伙伴机构的更广泛的学生群体中产生成为网络安全专业人员的兴趣。Pace CyberCorps的更广泛影响包括外展活动，以增加来自信息技术代表性不足的群体的网络安全学生人数;通过学术合作伙伴关系扩大该计划的影响;指导非SFS机构并为其毕业生提供奖学金机会。
