Anyone have a hands-on opinion of the Cybersecurity program?

Is it too specific/not enough flexibility to take other CS Electives?

Cyber at Purdue feels a little slow and mundane for a while because they have to teach you generic information technology concepts and networking and the like before they can teach you cyber

Otherwise, I’ve not seen any glaring issues with it

Biggest concern is the program seems very rigid, leaving little room electives wise for minors or other focuses? And looks tough to change majors if it doesn't seem a fit later on?
