Re: Masters in Information Security/Assurance

["Elizabeth Tolson" <elizabethtolson () gmail com>]

If you are talking about Capitol College, I had someone in my last

actually taught a few classes while he was travelling in Australia and
some other country.

Just remember the time zone and you must attend the Synch (Live) classes.
