MOS Pathways for Cybersecurity Course equivalencies

MOS Pathways

One of the NCYTE Center's goals is to help veterans returning from military service transition into college programs and careers in cybersecurity. A United States military occupational specialty code (MOS code) is a nine-character code used to identify a specific job within the armed services. Each of these codes requires skills, knowledge, and training to obtain. Below is a military occupational specialty (MOS) crosswalk developed by NCYTE Center to help community colleges and other educational institutions translate the military skills, training, and experience of veterans into course equivalencies.

For an accurate comparison between the Whatcom Community College courses that have been mapped and courses at your institution, refer to the Course Outcomes chart at the bottom of the page.
