Learn how to protect valuable business assets
Almost every day new computer hardware and software is introduced to make our lives easier and more efficient. The bad news is cyber crime is on the rise, threatening high tech security in both the public and private sector.
The demand for professionals with specialized knowledge in network and information systems security is growing, especially among Homeland Security
Agencies.
If you’re interested in developing a skills and knowledge base of security issues for computer networks and accounting information systems, the
Network & Information Systems Security Minor is for you. The minor is open to both Business and non-Business majors.
You’ll learn about:
• Network infrastructure, protocols and software
• Industry operating systems, security strategies and relevant products and equipment
• Accounting concepts and fraud detection
If you’d like to seek admission to a Network & Information Systems Security
Minor, you must have completed 15 credit hours with a cumulative UNC GPA of 2.5-2.99. Students should have a good understanding of computers and be motivated to learn and succeed.
“This course of study can make a student much more attractive as an employee to businesses large and small. They will gain hands-on experience with stateof-the-industry tools and proven techniques which will enable them to protect a company’s network and information systems.”
Charmayne Cullom,
Professor of CIS
“So much of the world is driven by the internet and networking today. The courses I took in the NISS minor gave me the opportunity to delve more deeply and gain more knowledge about this. I learned computer forensics, application development and how to look for hidden data on hard drives. I’m graduating soon, and having my major combined with this minor has already opened doors for me with potential employers.”
Levi Fuller, Class of 2013, CIS and Management

“ Network Information Security is crucial to everyone, from a home user to a large corporation. The security issue is top of mind, as people are worried about information and resources being stolen through the internet.
I’ve learned valuable network security information and acquired skills that will boost my resume and make me more attractive to employers. I think every CIS major should consider an Network &
Information Security Systems minor.”
