The Information Technology program provides students with a broad foundation in the various areas that comprise the field. Required coursework includes classes in networking, information security, database management, and computer support, along with several programming and scripting courses.
A student in this program is able to take two graduate level courses (6 credits/2 courses). The courses are counted towards the undergraduate 120 credit requirement, and if the course grade is B or higher, the course is also counted towards the graduate program. Students receive the bachelor’s degree and are able to complete the remaining 24 credits (8 courses) to earn the graduate degree.
The Information Technology/Cybersecurity degree at La Salle allows students to pursue their undergraduate and graduate degrees in an accelerated Five-Year Program. This program offers small class sizes with personalized attention from professors, a lab-based practical education, and a wide range of classes in programming, databases, and networking to allow students to determine their interests and gain hands-on experiences for successful careers in Computer Science, Information Technology, or Cybersecurity fields.
Computers have made organizations easier to run. All accounting information, inventory records, customer data, and intellectual property that an organization possesses is contained somewhere in an electronic file. As such, these electronic files are vulnerable to attacks from both employees and outsiders from around the world. This course will provide the student with an understanding of how computer fraud and manipulation is accomplished and what security measures should be instituted to prevent it.
This course introduces students to the differences between cybercrime, cyber espionage, and cyber warfare by discussing the relationship of cyber intrusions and cybersecurity to nations, businesses, society, and people. Students will use case studies to analyze the threats, vulnerabilities and risks present in these environments, and develop strategies to reduce the breaches and mitigate the damages.
This course explores all aspects of computing and communications security, including policy, authentication, authorization, administration, and business resumption planning. It examines key security technologies, such as encryption, firewalls, public-key infrastructures, smart cards, and related technologies that support the development of an overall security architecture. Coursework includes plans for developing and implementing a technology security strategy focused on business needs.
