At the graduate level, infrastructure assurance will be a concentration in the master of science degree in information technology. Coursework includes Telecommunication Systems, Introduction to Voice and Data Security, Security Risk Analysis and Security Incident Response.
Undergraduate students can pursue a bachelor's of business administration degree in infrastructure assurance. Coursework includes Secure Network Design, Wide Area Networks, Information Assurance and Security, Secure Electronic Commerce and Information Assurance Policy.
