Information Assurance Through Scholarship and Service

该项目提供信息保障科学和实践方面的硕士水平教育。拥有计算机科学本科学位的学生将进入专门设计的两年制计算机安全轨道，这是世界上最优秀的项目之一，结合了信息系统安全和信息保障方面的研究和研究。通过包含大量实验室练习和项目的课程，学生将学习如何安全地设计、构建、配置和管理系统和网络。该课程为学生提供了坚实的计算机科学基础，并传达了对理解信息保障至关重要的概念和技术。学生在课程设置和就业选择方面接受国际教育研究中心教职员工的定期指导。领导力和团队建设方面的经验是通过创新的计算机科学项目培养出来的，而学生们则通过每周会议、共同学习区域和IA向当地社区拓展项目来建立团队精神。每个学生与其他学生、教师和研究人员合作完成一个论文项目。论文研究允许深入探讨一个主题，并确保对信息保障中尚未解决的问题和挑战的认识，以及在批判性思维和写作方面的宝贵经验。

This project provides Masters-level education in the science and practice of Information Assurance. Students with undergraduate computer science degrees are placed in a specially designed two-year computer security track at CISR, one of the world's preeminent programs combining research and studies in information systems security and information assurance. Through courses involving extensive laboratory exercises and projects, students learn how to design, build, configure and manage systems and networks securely. The program provides students with a firm grounding in the foundations of computer science and conveys concepts and techniques vital for understanding Information Assurance. Students receive regular mentoring by CISR faculty on curriculum and employment options. Experience in leadership and teambuilding are fostered through an innovative computer science program, while students establish esprit de corps through weekly meetings, common study areas, and an IA outreach program to the local community. Each student completes a thesis project in collaboration with other students, faculty, and research staff. The thesis research permits exploration of a topic in depth and ensures an appreciation of the unsolved problems and challenges in Information Assurance, as well as providing valuable experience in critical thinking and writing.
