Course Delivery DEFINITIONS:
- Online Courses: In online teaching, 100% of instruction takes place online via Canvas and with supplemental platforms like Zoom. There are two types of online courses: asynchronous and synchronous.
- Asynchronous online: Course is fully online, with lessons, assignments, and activities posted in Canvas with due dates. Students complete coursework, engage in discussions, etc., based upon their own schedules, but are required to meet posted deadlines.
- Synchronous online: Online course that includes real-time class meetings using technology (e.g. Zoom). The number of required meetings varies based upon the particular class, but meetings take place during the scheduled class times. Faculty will inform students of the schedule for real-time meetings in their courses.
- Hybrid Courses: Hybrid courses combine both in-person, on-campus meetings with online instruction. All face-to-face activities take place during the regularly-scheduled meeting times in the rooms assigned on the course listing. The number of people in classrooms is limited by social distancing requirements, and the number of in-person meetings varies by course. Faculty will notify students of the exact meeting schedule for their courses.
If your class is not listed as online or hybrid, it will meet fully face-to-face with proper social distancing following the noted class schedule.

This course focuses on intermediate to advanced programming techniques and fundamental data structures. Students will solve problems by breaking them down using object-oriented techniques and the programming language features that support them. Fundamental data structures including arrays, vectors, lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs, are studied and analyzed from the standpoints of a generic and efficient implementation, and proper usage. Significant programming is required. Some students may be required to take CSC 522 as a prerequisite, pending transcript review. This course is not applicable to the Computer Science Master's program.

This course is designed to provide the necessary skills required to understand the key information security threats within an organization. These threats are becoming more sophisticated and therefore extremely hard to defend against without the proper protections in place. To effectively deter these threats an overall Cybersecurity process must encompass the development of security procedures and processes throughout the entire enterprise. This includes developing both defensive and offensive strategies. This course provides an in-depth look at techniques used to protest an enterprise against cybersecurity breaches. This includes understanding current frameworks including both the NIST Cybersecurity Framework & the Cyber Kill-Chain model. Prerequisite: CSC 202 or CSC 522.

This course will provide an in-depth overview of virutalization technologies which is the primary technology used in cloud computing. Virtualization allows multiple machine instances called Virutal Machines (VMs) to be run on a single server simultaneously. Each VM instance can be used to isolate contained applications from other VM instances providing a mechanism to partition servers into multiple logical machines. Key areas of study will include review of virtualization concepts, portability, VM migration, and hands-on VM creation and management. Various virtualization software will be used including one or more of the following: VMWare, ESXi, VirtualBox, and Docker.

A Research Master’s Project offers a student to pursue a more significant research project under faculty supervision. This option is open only to students who have earned a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. The project could focus on a topic beyond those covered in an elective course or could pursue a research interest outside of elective offerings. A Research Master’s Project culminates in a research paper suitable for submission for publication (though an actual submission or acceptance is not required) and a more substantial formal presentation. One or more additional faculty members will serve as readers for the research paper, and their approval, in addition to that of the faculty advisor, is required for successful completion. Students considering further graduate study at the Ph.D. level are especially encouraged to pursue the Research Master’s Project option. Prerequisite: permission of faculty supervisor.
PASS/FAIL ONLY. Instructor Approval/Signature Required.
