Computer Science Information Security (MS)
People involved in information security must be able to understand and systematically employ and manage Infosec concepts, principles, methods, techniques, practices and procedures drawn from U.S. statutes, current or pending. Infosec experts also must understand procedures followed by the Department of Defense, federal, state and local governments, industry and businesses.
The JMU Internet-based Infosec program addresses these issues with an emphasis on the environment in which the class participants will function. The nature of information security education demands expertise concentrated in areas of information technologies, administrative operations, and law and regulation. The JMU Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Security program will deliver this to the graduate student. The program is entirely Internet-based, with courses designed so that students and professors can maximize use of their time asynchronously.
Course objectives center on the administration, management and implementation of computer science technology as it focuses on information security. Managing information security programs consists of preserving information confidentiality and protection, risk management, data and system integrity, availability, authenticity and utility.
