Master of Science in Information Assurance and Cyber Security Management

From business continuity & disaster recovery to network security, project management,and even risk management, this degree encompassed everything an employer is looking for in a well-rounded expert in information assurance & cyber seurity. Graduate school forced me to transition from a typical learning framework to one that more heavily emphasizes peer interaction, community/industry involvement, self governance, and the ability to critically assess issues in the cyber security field through knowledge gained. Through obtaining this degree, I've developed the skills necessary to build cohesive, secure systems and contribute to the assurance and security of the technology we use in our day to day lives. Go bulls!
