The Information Security emphasis area will consist of three courses which complement the core information security course required for all MSIS students,

  • Identity Management and Trust
  • Network Security
  • IT Audit and Forensics
  • Students opting for the information security emphasis should note that the above courses replace the following in the standard MSIS curriculum,

  • e-Business Technologies
  • Enterprise Information Systems
  • Business Intelligence and Data Warehouses
  • The three courses comprising the emphasis area will only be offered in one location on Saturdays. Most likely this will be San Francisco.

    BSIS students who have graduated within the last two years with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better in their major can have Analysis, Modeling, and Design and Database Systems (the first two courses) waived.
