Where to Study the Human Side of Cybersecurity?

 I know UCF has a program in behavioral cybersecurity, which blends psych and CS. Are there other universities that offer similar programs or research tracks?

 Yes, definitely! The field is growing. You should check out Carnegie Mellon's CyLab, the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland, Dakota State University, and Purdue. These programs all dive into the human element—why people make security errors, how to design better systems, and the social aspects of cyber threats. It's a fascinating crossover discipline.
