Collaborative Project: Expansion and Enhancement of the Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Program

密西西比州立大学（MSU）是美国国家安全局信息保障教育卓越中心（COE/IAE），将与杰克逊州立大学（JSU）和堪萨斯大学（KU）合作，通过协作和合作努力提高这两个机构在信息保障方面的能力，并加强MSU的COE/IAE计划。 来自这三个机构的教师将努力在JSU和KU开发IA课程，预计这两所学校将在2004学年申请COE/IAE地位-2005年。这些合作努力的目的是有利于所有三方，不仅在两所目前没有IA计划的大学开发IA计划，而且通过扩大其在密歇根州立大学的计划，研究工作，增加少数民族在其博士课程的代表性，并通过加强其教学课程内容。 MSU还将通过让商学院和文理学院参与我们的研究来扩大其IA产品。 该提案启动了一项创新计划，将促进学生在这一领域的研究和出版。

Mississippi State University (MSU), an NSA Center of Excellence in Information Assurance Education (COE/IAE), will work with Jackson State University (JSU) and the University of Kansas (KU) though a collaborative and cooperative effort to increase these two institutions capacity in information assurance and to strengthen the COE/IAE program at MSU. The faculty from all three institutions will work to develop an IA curriculum at JSU and KU with an expectation that both schools will apply for COE/IAE status during academic year 2004-2005.These collaboration efforts are intended to be beneficial to all three parties in not only developing an IA program at two universities that currently do not have one but also in strengthening the program at MSU by broadening its research effort, increasing minority representation in its PhD program, and by enhancing its instructional course content. MSU will additionally expand its IA offerings by involving the College of Business and the College of Arts and Sciences in our research. This proposal initiates an innovative programs that will promote student research and publication in this area.
