Abstract

Computer Science (31) This project provides scholarships for graduate students seeking degrees in an MBA program with an emphasis on Information Assurance (IA). This degree gives students a strong background in business and policy as well as education and technical training in IA. Students in this program are engaged in a variety of research projects focused on the broad theme of organizational information asset protection, and they interact with experts in the field of IA through a series of professional seminars. Upon graduation, scholarship recipients must work for a Federal government agency in an IA position. The scholarship program helps to address the nation's need for qualified information technology professionals working in government agencies.
