Undergraduate 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 six online computer science courses. You can gain a highly marketable technical skillset and stand out from others in many 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 will equip you with the knowledge and training you need. Students seeking to further their education beyond the certificate level should consider the B.S. in Information Systems – Information Assurance online degree program.
Our distance learning courses are taught from a Christian perspective and biblical worldview. Your professors are experienced in the field and will be able to guide you to become a successful professional while integrating your faith into your work.
What Will You Study in Liberty’s Online Information Assurance Program?
Throughout your coursework in this certificate, you will learn about the different types of digital information and network systems. Most importantly, you will receive the training you need to assist in protecting a company or business’s most powerful asset: its information. Through courses in network and cybersecurity, you will learn how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. You will 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 will understand how to integrate faith and ethical decision making into the world of information assurance.
You may also be interested in our undergraduate information technology degree or our undergraduate certificate in data networking, database, or web development.
