An intensive summer program teaches students how to thwart computer terrorists. The program, created in 2003, lasts for 10 weeks and teaches students how to break into computer systems so they can learn how to protect against such attacks. Students are also required to complete military-leadership and physical-training components that satisfy ROTC requirements, including a weekly eight-mile run.
