Scholarship Programs

Education

The educational functions of the Laboratory include professional and continuing education, undergraduate and graduate education, and outreach activities. Within FSU, the Laboratory coordinates graduate and undergraduate security and information assurance curriculum development, including theory and practice. The curriculum provides a strong foundation in security principles.

Since May 2000 FSU is a NSA Center of Excellence in Information Security Education and FSU attended a reception at the White House in honor of these centers. Only 14 universities have received this distinction.

The courses in information security in Computer Science at Florida State University satisfy the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security (NSTISSC) training standard for Information Security Specialists. Only two universities open to the public received this recognition. FSU students that complete the courses specified in the program are uniquely qualified to serve as information security professionals. The certificate program consists of the following courses and prerequisites (hilited).

CEN 5515 Data and Computer Communications
CIS 5370 Computer Security
CIS 5257 Network Security
CIS 5930 Applied Security
CDA 3101 Computer Organization
COP 3330 Object-Oriented Programming in C++

Register

FSU CS students should notify in writing to David Gaitros (CS Associate Chair) that they would like to receive a certificate for the courses.

Non-CS or non-FSU students who would like to register only for the certificate should register at FSU as special students taking graduate courses.

Important: It is strictly required that students must satisfy all the prerequisites.
