该计划培养出一批计算机科学家，他们在信息保障方面具有很强的专业性，并致力于为联邦服务。三组学生完成了一个为期两年的项目，该项目将紧张的信息保证学习与研究和推广相结合。学生们还会在联邦机构实习一个暑假。在两年结束时完成学位后，这些学生就会进入联邦网络服务。该计划的特点是强调合作研究和与社区的接触。该计划的组成部分在培训学生信息保障理论和实践的同时，提供了一个促进团队合作、增强动力并建立专业精神和服务承诺的环境。

This program produces a cadre of computer scientists with strong specializations in information assurance and a commitment to federal service. Three cohorts of students complete a two-year program that integrates intense information assurance studies with research and outreach. Students also spend one summer as interns in federal agencies. Upon completion of degrees at the end of two years the students then enter the federal cyber service. The program features an emphasis on collaborative research and outreach to the community. The program components train students in information assurance theory and practice while providing an environment that fosters teamwork, strengthens motivation, and builds a sense of professionalism and commitment to service.
