Information Assurance Through Scholarship and Service

该项目提供信息保证科学和实践方面的硕士学位教育。具有本科计算机科学学位的学生被安排在CISR专门设计的为期两年的计算机安全课程中，CISR是世界上最杰出的课程之一，结合了信息系统安全和信息保证方面的研究和学习。通过涉及广泛的实验室练习和项目的课程，学生学习如何安全地设计，构建，配置和管理系统和网络。该计划为学生提供计算机科学基础的坚实基础，并传达对理解信息保证至关重要的概念和技术。学生接受CISR教师对课程和就业选择的定期指导。通过创新的计算机科学课程培养领导力和团队建设经验，而学生通过每周会议，共同学习区域和IA外展计划建立esktrode军团到当地社区。每个学生完成与其他学生，教师和研究人员合作的论文项目。论文研究允许深入探讨一个主题，并确保在信息保障未解决的问题和挑战的升值，以及提供批判性思维和写作的宝贵经验。

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.
