This course introduces students to essential terminology, concepts, principles, and practices of networking and information security. Students focus on technical components for building, managing, and maintaining secure systems through client/server application software configurations, basic IP addressing, and network connectivity. The integrated lab component of the course gives students hands-on exposure to networking and information security practices. Pre-requisite(s): MIS 103; or permission of Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours

This course introduces students to the mathematical structures and properties that are necessary in fields such as computer science, data analysis, and information security. Topics include the underlying mathematics for algorithms used for sorting, designing high-speed networks and message routing paths, formalizing security requirements, and analyzing algorithms for correctness and efficiency. This course covers areas in discrete mathematics including sets, functions, and relations; proof techniques and induction; number theory; and probability. Pre-requisite(s): MIS 103, and MTH 102 or LAM 106; or permission of Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours

This course focuses on using statistical concepts and techniques to analyze a variety of problems in information systems, information technology, business, and other disciplines. Topics expand on student’s knowledge of descriptive statistics, sampling, distributions, confidence intervals, correlation, and introduce regression and multiple regression, residual analysis, analysis of variance, robustness, and big data, through statistical programming. The integrated lab component of the course gives students hands-on exposure to data analysis practices. Pre-requisite(s): MIS 103; and MTH 102 or LAM 106; or permission of Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours

The internship enables students to integrate and apply theory with experiential learning while working in a field related to their program. Students engage in supervised and structured experiences and must complete a minimum of 30 hours of internship and related activities per quarter credit hour earned. This course may be taken multiple times for up to a total of ten quarter credit hours. Pre-requisite(s): Permission of Program Chair or designate. Co-requisite(s): None. 2-5 quarter hours
