Information Security Management Minor

Coordinator: Xiaodong Deng

The minor in information security management (ISM) consists of a minimum of four courses for SBA students. Non-SBA students should contact the minor coordinator to determine the credit requirements. The ISM minor consists of the following courses and any prerequisites for these courses: (MIS 1000 or CSI 1200), (MIS 3000 or MIS 3010), MIS 3050, MIS 4170, MIS 4180 and one elective from MIS 4130, MIS 4140, MIS 4700, or MIS 4750. A minimum grade of C must be earned in each course in the ISM minor and in the prerequisites for each course. This minor is open to all students except MIS majors.  

Certain MIS 4900 Special Topics courses can count as a minor requirement with prior approval of the minor coordinator based on the topic. Students cannot obtain both the ISM Minor and Major with ISM Specialization.

Students who have taken MIS 4170 under a previous catalog will be able to count this as a required course for the ISM minor and can use MIS4170 as a substitute for MIS4800.
