With my son graduating from high school we began the discussion of what he wants to do. Since he is already working he wants to go into something that he finds interesting yet is something that he feels is stable.

He really does not want to spend his entire study time in a classroom so he and I began looking into the various Universities that have the distance learning capabilities. One such school is that of Lewis University. Not only do they have in class studies but they also have distance studies as well.

A well rounded study program, especially in the area of obtaining an online Masters of Science in Information Security which is something that he is actively interested in. One point that he found interesting was :

the focus on the impact of information security on individual lives and personal privacy and the growing information security risks facing business and government.

This will not only add to his curriculum but the information that he will obtain is priceless to say the least. He was very excited about the program. So much so that he is patiently waiting for the online open house that they are having. Imagine that! An open house that you do not have to physically travel to!

We have both placed the date and time on our calendars so we shall try to attend together. That date is:

June 17th at 6PM (CST)

Just to share with you the courses that are included in the Science of Information I thought that you might like to see a sampling:
68-500 - Computer Organization (3)
68-501 - Principles of Programming (3)
68-505 - Introduction to Information Security (3)
68-510 - Data Networking (3)
68-515 - Operating Systems and Distributed Systems (3)
68-520 - Intrusion Detection, Response and Recovery (3)

WOW! And there is a lot more that goes with this Masters. It is a full degree program not like a lot of the others that we saw. Which was a large relief to me if this is the school of his choice.

Don't forget that date and time and drop in for the open house!
