A one-page solution brief for departments running a cybersecurity bachelors degree program, addressing the distance between what undergraduates learn in coursework and what employers expect on day one. Its stated position is that immersive cyber range training bridges academic theory and industry-ready skills, giving students applied practice inside a degree rather than after it. The piece is part of SimSpace’s higher education cybersecurity set, which also includes briefs for master’s programs, online universities, military colleges and R1 research institutions, and speaks to how hands-on cyber labs attach to an existing cybersecurity curriculum. At undergraduate level the case rests on employability: graduates who have already worked an incident in a realistic environment interview differently. Download the brief for the full undergraduate model.
