RE: Masters program for Information Security?

I just completed my master's at Norwich a couple weeks ago and can
attest to the strength of the program and how comprehensive it is.   It
is very time consuming at times but also very rewarding.  It's a very
different program in that you are analyzing the INFOSEC posture of your
organization throughout the program and writing it about it in weekly
papers and a term paper at the end.  The program can have an immediate
ROI for the orgnization.  See www.msia.norwich.edu for a direct link to
the program info

Actually, I am a recent graduate of the Norwich University Information
Assurance. I researched various graduate degrees in the area of
Information Security, spoke with numerous graduates of several different
universities and based on the input I rec'd,  decided to apply to
Norwich U. It is an extremely comprehensive program. Small cohorts,
excellent professors. The director of the MSIA program at Norwich is the
well-known Information Security Specialist, Mich Kabay. Adjunct
professors include highly respected and widely published specialists
such as Stephen  Cobb, Chey Cobb,  Peter Stephenson,  Jim Maloney, Mike
Levine,  Michael Miora, Don Holden,  and Gary Bridges, just to name a
few. If you have read many Infosec books, you will probably recognize
these names.

You will work your fingers to the bone in this program, but you will
gain a tremendous amount of knowledge in the field. It is well worth the
investment. Norwich U pulls from an international student base and you
will receive a global perspective on our field. Go to www.norwich.edu
for details.

If you have any other questions about Norwich, just let me know.

Hello,

Does anyone know of an institution offering M.Sc. for Information
Security/Assurance?  Any graduates out there?  I'm hoping to find one
who's curiculum involves both management and technical aspects.

Much obliged,

Jawbox
