Why this program is listed

Formal cybersecurity emphasis (four courses) inside a nursing leadership MSN; a nursing degree is outside the usual host-degree list, so scope needs review. Included by the owner (bulk decision, 12 October 2026).

Named Cybersecurity with Information Assurance emphasis of four CSIA courses within a 42-credit nursing leadership degree.
