Master of Science in Information Security

Letter from the Program Director

Lewis University is very pleased to begin offering its popular Master of Science in Information Security program online starting in August 2009.

The field of information security has been experiencing incredible growth as enterprises scramble to figure out how best to protect their data from confiscation and corruption. As the amount of sensitive and valuable data online increases, the consequences of that data being compromised have become more serious. Organizations of all sizes and missions need professionals who understand how to protect their information. The goal of Lewis University's online Master of Science in Information Security program is to prepare graduates to meet these challenges.

The program is offered online, so it's convenient for working adults and can be completed within 16 to 24 months. All students take common core courses to learn the fundamentals of information technology and information security management. Then, students may specialize either in a Technical or Managerial Concentration. Elective courses are also available to help prepare for CISSP certification or to conduct cyber-forensic investigations. The program culminates with a capstone project that provides an opportunity to apply what students have learned to a real-world situation.

Because the program is designed and directed by professionals in the IT industry, our graduates are highly satisfied with their experience and are armed with the skills today's IT departments demand. This may be a great opportunity for you to earn a graduate degree in a hot career field from a well-respected university in a very short amount of time.

To seize this opportunity and advance your career through our online Master of Science in Information Security, I encourage you to call us, toll-free, at 1-866-967-7046 or simply apply online.

Sincerely,

Dr. Faisal Abdullah
Director, Master of Science in Information Security
