Why Choose the Information Security and Networking Management Certificate?

Responding to industry trends, Ferris State University's College of Business Graduate Programs has created graduate-level advanced studies certificates. These four course sequences can be used to obtain stand-alone certificates or as emphasis areas leading to masters degrees in either Information Systems Management or a Master of Business Administration based on the philosophy of performance metrics-based management.

The Information Security & Networking Management Certificate is designed to create business leaders with both theoretical and practical experience in designing and protecting local area networking systems, incorporating principles of information security incident detection action, and computer forensics (ranging from the servers to personal digital assistants.)

Admission Requirements

A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited university with an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or better on a 4.0 scale.

Graduation Requirements

No more than 50% of the credits in this certificate may be transferred from another institution, nor, will this certificate be granted if more than 50% of the certificate credits are specifically required in the student's major.
