Information Assurance Minor view curriculum
The minor and certificate program in information assurance (IA) is designed to provide students with the knowledge and capacity to implement information security and to solve information assurance problems. The program goals are to heighten awareness of information assurance in the academic community, prepare graduates who are capable of evaluating information assurance situations, and contribute to finding appropriate solutions to information assurance problems.
For students who currently hold degrees in areas other than information assurance, the program provides the environment to develop their knowledge and capacity for implementing information security and to do research in the area. It will also benefit students who wish to supplement their educations with knowledge of how to evaluate and improve the security of data from both technical and social perspectives.
The IA minor is not limited to students in the Donaghey College of Information Science and Systems Engineering. In addition to students in computer-related programs such as Computer Science, Information Science, or Systems Engineering, the minor is also designed to include those with interests in Criminal Justice or Business Management who may not have extensive backgrounds in computers, math, or technology.
