A Vision for Excellence
Today’s world calls for greater collaboration to protect America’s national security infrastructure. UTSA, a Carnegie R1 classification and Tier-1 institution for research is leading this charge armed with world-class faculty and a reputation as the undisputed leader in cybersecurity education.
The National Security Collaboration Center (NSCC) has taken this leadership to the next level with a robust ecosystem membership to engage with government, industry, and academia to tackle the nation’s greatest cyber threats. The NSCC, co-located with the School of Data Science at the new San Pedro 1 building, part of UTSA's downtown campus, has a mission to realize opportunities in research, education and workforce development with federal agencies, academia, and a global tech industry.
