Certificate in Information Assurance
Help Protect Digital Assets with an Online Undergraduate Information Assurance Certificate
Do data systems, information technology, cybersecurity, and business interest you? Would you like to combine these interests into a career path?
Information assurance is essential to the safety of sensitive information in a world of data breaches and public mistrust of digital business. Liberty University’s undergraduate Information Assurance Certificate is designed to give you an education in cyber awareness training through in-depth online computer science courses. You can cultivate a skill set that is relevant across a variety of competitive business industries.
Whether you want to grow in your current role or explore other areas within the business field, our Information Assurance Certificate program aims to help equip you with the knowledge and training to pursue your career goals. If you’re seeking to further your education beyond the certificate level, you may also want to consider our B.S. in Information Systems – Information Assurance.
Our distance learning courses are taught from a Christian perspective and a biblical worldview. Your professors are experienced in the field and can help guide you as you learn how to integrate your faith into your work.
What Will You Study in Liberty’s Online Information Assurance Program?
Throughout your coursework in this certificate, you can learn about the different types of digital information and network systems. Most importantly, you will receive training aimed at protecting a company or business’s most powerful asset: its information. Through courses in network and cybersecurity, you can learn how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. You can also learn how to design, implement, and troubleshoot network systems to ensure the safety of information.
All of our courses are taught by professors who are professionals in the information technology and assurance fields. Additionally, in support of our mission to Train Champions for Christ, you will receive instruction from a biblical worldview. Through discussions with peers and professors, you can come to understand how to integrate faith and ethical decision-making into the world of information assurance.
