NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee State University has been awarded $1.3 million to support cybersecurity research and education.

The Nashville school received four grants from the Department of Homeland Security and National Science Foundation.

The goal is to develop programs that prepare undergraduate and graduate students at Tennessee State for homeland security-related careers.

The training is expected to last over the next five years. A professor and two students will have the chance to travel to the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, N.Y., the university said in a news release.
