Why Marissa Wilson Recommends Boise State’s Online Bachelor’s Degrees
Marissa Wilson discovered her passion for cybersecurity through Boise State’s online Bachelor of Science in Cyber Operations and Resilience. As a learner who valued flexibility and connection, she found the best of both worlds in this dynamic and supportive program.
“You’re going to be able to find out what you’re actually interested in doing and what you’re good at,” she said. “The program gave me a base of knowledge that I know I can take with me anywhere and be successful.”
