Participants in the Computer Technology Track of the Information Assurance Education Graduate Certificate Program (IAEGCP) will take 6 credit hours in computer technology, 3 credit hours in computer science, and 2 credit hours in curriculum and instruction; all courses are taught by information assurance experts. Because the program is condensed into an 8-week period, coursework will be intense. Participants will be expected to do independent reading for each class before the program begins. Participants who successfully complete the requirements of the program will receive a graduate certificate from the Department of Computer Technology, as well as a certificate from CERIAS.
This course will cover conceptual and technological aspects of network security for voice and data networks. The course will deal with the analysis, design, implementation and management issues surrounding effective network security. Technology research and presentation of research results as well as security technology implementation will be required course outcomes.
