Minor in Information Security and Computer Forensics

Information security is an area of emerging significance; this minor is intended to educate future professionals in computer and telecommunications crime investigation and evidence processing. Although it is targeted for Criminal Justice majors, it is available to all non-Computer Science majors.

Total Units: 18

Whenever possible, CSC course numbers below link to full course outlines in PDF format. (Although they are the most recent formal descriptions available, they may not reflect the current textbooks being used or the faculty member currently teaching the course. Students should check with the department office if they have questions about textbooks or instructors.) Occasionally, the most current course outline is still in the process of being approved by the University for catalog inclusion and thus the summary description does not match what is published in the catalog.

Courses without full outlines are linked to catalog descriptions.
