Because computer science (CS) is required for every Georgia Tech undergraduate, students from all majors pass through the School of Computing Instruction (SCI) every year. Among the computer engineering majors this semester is Marine Corps veteran James Baker, who is pursuing his passion for cybersecurity. 

Baker’s journey to Georgia Tech required hard work and determination. After serving as an enlisted combat engineer in the Marine Corps for over five years, he's now juggling a job and family while working toward his degree.
