Hi list!

What about graduate online programs that are certified Centers of
Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education? Know about one
a url list would be most appreciated.

I am currently doing my MBA in Infotec Management at University of
Phoenix and would like to do my PhD in InfoSec but most programs Ive
seen are for a Masters Degree.

Thanks for your time.
