I have always been a big fan of education. I, myself, have a Master’s Degree and I encourage others to get the education that they need to improve their employment or just because they want to know more! I am so glad that many Universities are now offering online degree programs to help those who do not have the time to attend a formal university.
My brother, who has a computer science degree already, is looking to increase his education and hopefully get a managerial position. I told him about Lewis University’s MS in Information Security degree program. This program offers two different tracks: Managerial and Technical.
The program is designed to explore the theory and practice of IT security and included the latest advances in IT technologies. This is a field that is rapidly growing. Too often you hear about credit numbers or personal information that has been stolen. Professionals are needed to find new ways to protect and secure data.
There are many business, organizations and government offices that need individuals that are well versed in information security. This degree could open up doors to new employment in positions such as Chief Information Officer, IT Security Consultant or Access Control Manager.
This degree information is great to pass along to anyone that you may know in the computer field who is looking to advance their knowledge and opportunities.
