Monarch: Cyber Corps Through Metamorphosis

计算机科学（31）海军研究生院（NPS）的君主项目为网络安全教育提供了一种独特的方法，通过录取学生，大多数具有计算机科学本科学位，一些具有跨学科背景。合格的学生进入一个由本科CS材料组成的密集的四分之三核心CS课程。然后转入硕士课程，在第二年结束时完成。通过教师讲授的小型课程，包括广泛的实验练习和项目，学生学习如何安全地设计、构建、配置和管理系统和网络。学生与美国政府文职人员和军官一起学习，并参与CISR特别设计的计算机安全轨道，CISR是世界上最杰出的项目之一，结合了网络安全和信息保障的研究和学习。学生们定期接受课程和就业选择方面的指导。强制性的论文研究项目确保学生对网络安全方面的挑战有一个了解，并提供宝贵的研究、批判性思维和写作经验。君主项目通过一个变革性的硕士学位项目，减少了目前国家信息基础设施网络安全方面的人才缺口。它为计算机科学面临的人才危机提供了一种创新的解决方案。

Computer Science (31) This Monarch project at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) offers a unique approach to the cyber security education by matriculating a mixture of students, most with CS undergraduate degrees, and some with an interdisciplinary background. Qualified students enter an intense three-quarter core CS program comprised of undergraduate CS material. They then transfer into Masters-level program, which is completed at the end of their second year. Through small faculty-taught classes involving extensive laboratory exercises and projects, students learn to design, build, configure, and manage systems and networks securely. Students study along with U.S. Government civilians and military officers and engage in a specially designed computer security track at CISR, one of the world's preeminent programs combining research and studies in Cyber Security and Information Assurance. Students receive regular mentoring on curriculum and employment options. The mandatory thesis research projects ensure that students have an appreciation of the challenges in cyber security and provide valuable experience in research, critical thinking, and writing. The Monarch project reduces the current personnel gap in cyber security for the national information infrastructure through a transformative Masters degree program. It presents an innovative solution to the personnel crisis facing computer science.
