TUJ set to start Cybersecurity major and Data Science certificate in Fall 2026.
- TUJ launches Cybersecurity major and Data Science certificate in fall 2026
- New STEM programs support growing global workforce demand
- TUJ continues academic and campus expansion amid enrollment growth
Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) will launch a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity through the university’s College of Science and Technology beginning in the fall 2026 semester. The new program reflects TUJ’s ongoing expansion of its academic offerings in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields in response to growing student interest and increasing workforce demand in Japan and around the world.
At the same time, TUJ will introduce an undergraduate certificate program in Data Science: Computational Analytics in the fall semester. The latest moves follow the university’s announcement in April of a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence (AI), which will also launch in fall 2026. Together, these initiatives align with the university’s broader strategy to strengthen its curriculum in rapidly evolving STEM-related areas. The expansion comes as enrollment in TUJ’s computer science program continues to grow to be one of the university’s most popular undergraduate majors, particularly since students have been able to complete the degree entirely in Japan beginning in fall 2024.
Recognizing the critical role of computing and digital technologies in the global economy, the computer science program provides students with a strong academic foundation in areas including algorithms, software engineering, computer architecture, programming languages, data structures, operating systems, networks, AI and image processing.
The new cybersecurity major will build on this foundation by equipping students with specialized technical knowledge and practical skills to protect computers and networks from cyber threats….
