Re: College/University security programs

Hi!

The National Security Agency has designated the following schools as the 
Centers of Excellence in the field of computer security & information 
assurance:

http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academia/caeiae.cfm?MenuID=10.1.1.2

All these schools have various programs with specific research interests 
based on projects currently handled, and at the same time - the critical 
amount of regular coursework to be certified as one of the centers of 
excellence.

There's specific criteria listed out as well, which one can read if need 
be. Also - I think that it's only a graduate course where you'd be able 
to really gain from coursework, though depending on the school's 
flexibility offered it might be possible to cover graduate courses in an 
undergraduate program.

And as it most likely is evident, yep am a graduate student!

Hope this helps,
Prasad.
