Colleges and universities continue to expand their curricula to include cybersecurity as an explicit course of study in political science. This article reviews the syllabi of two dozen university courses on cybersecurity to evaluate the content of these new courses in higher education. By doing so, the authors identify key literature in the field, generate an overview of best practices on teaching cyber conflict across academic institutions, help identify potential gaps in current courses, and assist faculty in identifying core concepts and readings.
