Information Systems Security, Certificate

  • Many of the courses in each of the three certificate programs require INFS 401 (Information Management) to be taken as a prerequisite. However, students seeking any one of these certificates can have the INFS 401 course waived based on appropriate documented evidence of their employment or academic background in Management Information Systems. This documentation must be submitted prior to enrolling in the certificate courses.  The Academic Advisor and/or the Department Chair will determine whether the student’s background is sufficient to grant a waiver. The condition for receiving this waiver is stated below:
  • A minimum 3.0 gpa is required.
  • Students who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Information Systems.
  • Students who have completed a degree with a major or minor in Computer Science or Information Systems.
