Courses focus on relevant technical topics as well as the context in which graduates of the master’s and PhD programs in information assurance will apply technology to address cyber security issues.
- Undergraduate Courses
Electives allow undergraduates to explore information assurance topics as part of their degree programs. For example, in the innovative and popular Secure Wireless Ad Hoc Robots on Mission (SWARM) course, students learn the foundations of security as they work in teams to build and compete using robots that can communicate with each other.
