IST&E Building
The College of IS&T is housed in a facility which provides laboratory, office, research, computer facilities, and computer lab spaces for the
College of Engineering and Technology and the College of Information Science and Technology. This facility is located approximately one
mile south of the north campus, separated by a city park and golf course. The computer networks and labs in this building consist of the
latest in fiber optic technology. Three primary Distance Education classrooms provide two-way voice, video and data transfer utilizing
state-of-the-art cameras, microphones, and video projectors. The IST&E Building opened its doors to students in August 1999.

THE COLLEGE OF INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
OBJECTIVE
The principal goal of the College of Information Science & Technology (IS&T) is to produce the next generation of
information specialists. These individuals will be technically prepared to enter the information industry, apply
technology in organizational environments, embrace life-long learning, and contribute to their community. IS&T is
utilizing some of the following methods to achieve this objective:
1. Forming partnerships with the business community
2. Providing student internships
3. Faculty and company representative exchanges
4. Providing the latest in curriculum and computer technology and programs
5. Identifying future requirements in business and technology, and preparing
students to meet those needs
6. Aiding students with a smooth adjustment from education into the business world

DEGREES
IS&T currently offers four degree options:
1. Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics (BSBI)
Bioinformatics is an emerging, rapidly-expanding scientific discipline that addresses problems related to the
collection, processing, analysis of the vast amounts of data describing the structure and function of biological
systems. Bioinformatics is a truly interdisciplinary science, bringing together aspects of computer science,
molecular biology, chemistry and mathematics. Bioinformatics merges computer and information science with
the study of genetic information and biological structures. Bioinformatics allows researchers to open new
windows of insight into our genetic makeup, providing pathways to understanding disease processes and
creating novel diagnostic and treatment strategies. There is an immense and growing need for experts in this
field, in order to capitalize on the growing body of knowledge regarding the genome. A graduate of the UNO
Bioinformatics program will gain a solid background in a wide variety of positions in the biomedical and
biotechnology industries, for graduate study in bioinformatics or related areas or, with the addition of only a
couple of courses, medical school.

2. Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BCS)

The Computer Science program provides a firm foundation in the theory and applications of computing while
allowing for additional concentration in areas of choice, such as information systems, mainframe computing,
computer networking, telecommunications, data and knowledge engineering, and software development. This
concentration is based on building computer tools that make computers useful.

3. Bachelor of Science in Information Assurance (BSIA)

Information Assurance is an emerging, rapidly expanding science that addresses problems in the fundamental
understanding of the design, development, implementation, and life-cycle support of secure information systems.
The need for secure information systems has become a paramount concern as the computer-enabled, Internet-
st
connected, digital-based global society of the 21 century emerges. The lack of adequately secure information
systems has been cited as one of the likely impediments to the emergence of the digital society. Information
Assurance (IA) is an interdisciplinary undergraduate major that will prepare students for positions in government,
industry, and research as well as provide them with the foundation necessary for success in graduate programs.

4. Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems (BIS)

The MIS Program involves the study of the acquisition, deployment and management of information technology
resources. It also involves the study of the development of an information infrastructure and systems for use in
organizations. Courses in this degree program are listed in the catalog as Information Systems and Quantitative
Analysis (ISQA).

3
Internship Program
The College of IS&T has a unique opportunity to match students and businesses together. Through internships, businesses
assess individuals’ performance levels, problems solving skills, and ability to work in groups. Students are prepared for the
best jobs because they are challenged to learn new skills needed to become the leaders of tomorrow. The College of IS & T’s
internship program is structured for junior or senior students who desire a work environment where they can implement the
knowledge they have acquired in the classroom in a real-world work environment. Arrangements can be made for the
experience to be full or part-time, depending on the needs of the student and employer. Academic credit can also be
determined depending on the opportunities involved in the work assignment. Although at this time Internship credit does not
directly apply to the BSIA, students may still wish to seek out an internship for practical experience in their chosen field.
Students should contact the College of Information Science and Technology’s Career Resource Center at 554-2090 or stop by
PKI 391.

INFORMATION ASSURANCE DEGREE

CAREER FIELDS

The Information Assurance program provides a firm foundation in the theory and applications of computing security and
information assurance. It provides a solid framework for a career or future study in the IA field.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Information Assurance provides the educational background appropriate for pursuing career
opportunities as a Computer Crimes Law Enforcement Official, Systems Analyst, IA Researcher, Computer Security Specialist,
Secure Systems Developer, System Security Administrator or Network Security Professional. A graduate from this program
should also be prepared for graduate studies in Information Assurance, Computer Science, MIS, or a related field.

INFORMATION ASSURANCE
The objectives of the Information Assurance curriculum are to provide the students with an environment conducive to
understanding the paradigms of the Information Assurance discipline, with an appropriate balance between formal theory,
concepts and the more pragmatic issues of the field. The program is structured to provide the necessary breadth and depth, to
satisfy the student’s specific career objectives and aspirations. The program is designed to meet several principal objectives:
(1) provide students with a foundation for graduate study; (2) provide students with a foundation for entry into the computing
security professions; (3) provide students with a foundation for lifelong personal and professional growth through the pursuit of
a variety of career paths; and (4) educate students to assume leadership positions in diversified, rapidly changing fields of
information assurance and computer security.

The degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Information Assurance have been designed to meet these objectives
and goals through specific University requirements, Computer Science (CSCI) requirements, and required IA core courses and
IA elective courses and mathematics courses as well as Criminal Justice and ISQA courses. The Computer Science core
courses account for twenty-seven (27) credit hours of a student’s degree program; an additional thirteen (13) credit hours of
Mathematics is required for the degree. The student will have nine (9) hours of University Requirements and thirty-one (31)
hours of Distribution Requirements and six (6) hours of background coursework for IA.. The Student will also have three (3)
credit hours from the Management Information Systems program and nine (9) hours from the Criminal Justice department. A
total of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) semester hours is required for the degree.

First Year
Mathematics and computing foundation courses, English, public speaking, natural science.
Second Year
Advanced mathematics, digital design principles, data structures, ethics, natural science
Third Year
Computer organization and architecture, theory of computation, information security concepts, humanities, supporting
electives
Fourth Year
Operating systems, software engineering, humanities, social science, supporting electives.

This brochure is to provide basic information about the Information Assurance degree. All potential majors and minors are
encouraged to see an advisor before pursuing a BSIA degree and setting a program schedule. Information about specific
courses offered can be found in the on-line class schedule.
