UAH business school receives IACE certification

(3/04/2007)

UAH programs in information assurance and security have been recertified by the National Information Assurance Education and Training Program Office. The certification was issued to UAH in conjunction with Alabama A&M University.

The certification covers the UAH business school's certificate program in information assurance as well as a computer engineering M.S. program in information assurance, said Dr. Jatinder "Jeet" Gupta, UAH's eminent scholar in management and the recertification team leader.

"We have also filed for certification as a center for excellence in information assurance," Gupta said. "If that happens, we can apply for grants from the National Security Agency, the National Science Foundation and other federal organizations, to support full-time graduate students and do more research in UAH's Center for Information Assurance Education."

The certification program was created by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. It involves evaluating each program's coursework to insure that it meets national standards set by the Committee on National Security Systems.
