Program Summary
Information assurance includes protection of the integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation, and confidentiality of user data. Undetected loopholes in the network can lead to unauthorized access, editing, copying, or deleting of valuable information. This is where information assurance plays a key role.
Students will gain an appreciation for the difficulty of designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining information systems, services, and software products that are secure and comply with expectations of security and privacy.
Program Information
- All courses must be passed with a “C-” (1.7) or better to be counted in the certificate.
- Credits older than 10 years must be approved by the CSCY Department Chair before being allowed to count towards the major due to the rapid change in the industry.
Certificate Completion
