LANSING, Mich. — LCC has been designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) through academic year 2024 by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
“Your ability to meet the increasing demands of the program criteria will serve the nation well in contributing to the protection of the National Information Infrastructure,” said Karen Leuschner, National CAE Program Manager at National Security Agency.

This national designation confirms that we are creating solutions that will lead to a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting industry demands. It’s all about our graduates getting great jobs and great compensation.”
