Signature Programs

The cybersecurity program at Riverside prepares graduates to enter college or the workforce with the knowledge, skills and  abilities to excel in computer science and security.

 

Our partnerships with industry leaders let students experience collegiate work and earn professionally recognized certifications. Completion of the program earns industry certification prior to graduation. 

 

Graduates who complete the cybersecurity program at Riverside will demonstrate strength in problem-solving, communication, attention to detail, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

The cyber security program at Riverside began with a conversation between two alumni with industry connections and the Academy’s leadership. Fortuitously, the Georgia Department of Education has established a series of career exploration pathways for high school students that are comprised of three courses, and cyber security is one such option, which facilitated adding the coursework to Riverside’s curriculum.

The cybersecurity pathway includes an opportunity for completing a CompTIA industry certificate, which enhances the market competitiveness of graduates. Completing this pathway provides graduates with advanced experience and potential Dual Enrollment credit prior to entering college.

In this four-course curriculum, students design, build, test and analyze the science behind the forces and physical properties of planes, rockets and unmanned vehicles.

 

The program appeals to students who are curious about the design and flight of aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. The goal is to equip students with knowledge and skills to be successful in college and the global workforce. The program combines college-ready academics with authentic, hands-on projects.

 

Graduates from the aerospace engineering program will possess a resume highly sought after by any college or university nationwide.
