Abstract

Information assurance is a critical topic in computer science curricula. Several publications in the educational literature address the development of curriculum and integration of information assurance into existing computer science programs. One objective measure of a successful program is to be designated by the government as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. To receive this designation, the applicant must meet documented criteria about their program and institution. Meeting these criteria can be challenging, especially for undergraduate-only institutions. This paper describes our institution's approach and experience in successfully meeting the necessary criteria for receiving the Center of Academic Excellence designation.
