The electives I chose provided certificates in, “Data Science” and “Network and Application Security”… not that those certificates carry any weight, but I’m familiar with them and maybe can lean that direction. I found security to be extremely broad as there were many courses that circled back to security in one form or another. Big data + security seemed useful in the workforce, imo.
@ everyone, thank you for your responses and advice. Greatly appreciated.

Damn, what roles did they get hired as? I'm in cybersecurity sales but am rounding out my skills to be able to move to the other side on security teams. Curious what to look out for.

Sec Analyst II...
They're coming out of school with Sec+, SCCDA, CISSP and we don't even care about the degrees anymore
we're a 20k, Fortune 250 company, so they're essentially babysitting Crowdstrike SIEM

How are kids coming out of school with a CISSP?

Earning a post-secondary degree (bachelors or masters) in computer science, information technology (IT) or related fields may satisfy up to one year of the required experience or an additional credential from the ISC2 approved list may satisfy up to one year of the required experience. Part-time work and internships may also count towards the experience requirement.
I dont make the rules..

Okay, that will knock off 1 year of the 5-year full-time work experience requirement. but, you still would need 4 years of full-time work experience in one of the cybersecurity domains listed on the CISSP website to qualify for the test.

sorry, i only respond to most of TD between 9/5, lol
Again, i dont do the hiring, i just know at the end what to expect form the new kids..
I assume, based on more reading that they are knocking out some of those other tests and with internships, they essentially have the bare minimum to pass a CISSP

You need to be in data centers. Its exploding and we need all the people like you we can get.

Cloud IT is also growing quickly, especially for government. Not much software development, but many agencies are in the process of migrating and modernizing.
Take Azure or AWS cloud cert exams and you could probably find a job pretty quickly.
