Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Information Assurance Track

Indiana University of Pennsylvania – Also available as a minor to accompany selected majors, the information assurance program at IUP is tailored for application in law enforcement and government settings. Because of this, all students are required to minor in criminology as a means of broadening their educational scope from the merely technical to full-blown computer forensics.

If this program does not sound right for you, remember that degrees and certifications abound across the United States and the internet. It is also possible to research physical campuses that offer both criminal justice as well as computer science programs and blend coursework into a valuable interdisciplinary education mimicking those of explicit computer forensics programs. Because this field has been expanding dramatically in the past few years, it is possible that we have missed some of the degree plans and certificates at traditional brick-and-mortar colleges and universities.
