The program provided an excellent curriculum, especially with regard to the concentration in Infrastructure/Information Assurance.

Strengths: Adjuncts/Business professionals in the field of study bringing relevant and timely material to the learning environment. Weaknesses: Some faculty members did not consistently bring relevant, timely material to the learning environment, because they seemed out of touch current issues in their industry (too book focused at times).
