St. Cloud State University has again earned national recognition for the quality of its information assurance programming.
The university has secured recertification as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Defense from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The certification recognizes that the university offers courses that meet NSA and DHS criteria. It gives the university’s Center for Information Assurance Studies national recognition for its information assurance programs and means it is eligible to apply for the federal Information Assurance Scholarship Program, which it last received in 2013.
