Information Technology and Security Systems - Bachelor's - NEW!
This program is focused on preparing students to acquire knowledge in the preservation of information assets. Students will become skilled in the identification of computer security vulnerabilities and develop a level of specialization in information security beyond what is provided by more general programs.
The program allows students sufficient time to explore the issues and technologies of computer and network security and develop the skills needed to design or troubleshoot an organization's security systems procedures, standards, protocols, and policies, as well as ensure that operational security is in compliance with standards, policies, and laws.
Many of the core courses apply directly to the industry standard certifications such as: CompTia, Microsoft, Cisco and Computer Forensics Investigation. Coursework includes advanced project management, network security, security systems, computer forensics and investigations, advanced network forensics, client-server network operating systems, digital home technology integration, routers and network security.
