Computer Security and Investigation, B.S.

The computer security and investigation (CSI) program blends the technical aspects of information security with a fundamental understanding of criminal investigation. The result is a cutting edge degree where students become digital forensic detectives, ready to fight the crime taking place on the Internet and on the electronic streets. Not even evidence that has been deleted or hidden will prevent these students from uncovering the truth and preparing a case against felons, hackers, and cyber bad guys. With hands-on course work in forensics, criminology, social science, computer programming, networking and electronics, this degree gives students the expertise badly needed by today’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies. As the methods that criminals use become more and more sophisticated, Indiana Tech’s CSI degree program ensures that our graduates will keep ahead of them.
