<div>A recently funded grant will create the National Cybersecurity Teaching Academy (NCTA). NCTA will offer a12-credit hour graduate certificate to high school teachers and will include coursework on teaching cybersecurity, foundations of cybersecurity, network
security, and advanced topics. Three universities (DePaul, University of Louisville, and UA Little Rock) will be offering the virtual program, with a little bit of variation depending on the university's program. The program will begin Summer 2022. </div>
