In the B.S. in Information Assurance and Security Engineering students will learn the fundamentals of information security, security infrastructure design and implementation, computer forensics, risk assessment as well as the impact of security requirements on a business operation. Students learn to design, implement and manage various security infrastructure components through hands-on activities in our state-of-the-art information Assurance and Security Laboratory. The lab environment includes multi-vendor firewalls, Virtual Private Networks, intrusion detection and prevention systems, routers, switches, and event correlation systems.
Online Learning Options
Many courses are available for review and playback via the CDM Course Online playback system (COL). If a course is COL-enabled, any student registered in the course has access to the course playback. Students are strongly encouraged to utilize the COL resource wherever available. Some undergraduate courses are offered online. However, CDM currently does not offer any undergraduate program completely online. For more information on online learning at CDM visit the Online Learning page .
