Abstract

Nationwide undergraduate enrollments in Computer Science classes have been declining over the years. Enrollments can be increased by introducing interdisciplinary information assurance and security courses with interfaces to other majors. This paper emphasizes the importance of introducing a general Computer Forensics course and a more specific Accounting Forensics course addressing current issues to interface with Business and Criminal Justice majors.
