Enrollment

While working for the City of Huntsville I enrolled in an Information Security Certificate program at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. After completing a couple of quarters, the university received approval to expand the curriculum into a Master of Science degree program. There was so much good information in this program and it was especially challenging.

The toughest classes in the course of study were easily the last four taken during my last two semesters. These classes were from the Computer Engineering and Computer Science colleges and challenged all of the students. I've marked these courses below with an asterisk.

Difficult, time consuming, but fun! Upon graduation I was very honored to be awarded the Outstanding Student award.
