Students are required to take a course in which they must put to practical use what they have learned. This may be done using team projects in a single three-credit course. However, we encourage students to consider taking a six- to eight-month paid internship to get the true flavor of applying their computing knowledge to industry.

We try to set up internships with the defense industry or the government to provide an opportunity for students to use their cyber security skills. Students are also required to take a minor in Criminology. We foresee our graduates working with law enforcement personnel or in security areas, and they need a knowledge of law enforcement to be effective.
