Norwich's cost per credit is very cheap ($375/CrH) and the convenience online is what drew me toward the program (as well as their reputation). It definitely feels like some of this program was developed 5 years ago, which is a lifetime in IT, especially in some aspects more than others. I feel they could certainly update content to reflect on modern day practices. Just don't have the expectation that since you graduated you should know exactly what to expect.

Let me make it perfectly clear in saying you will not be fully ready and prepared for what the typical infosec analyst will experience, but it gives a decent foundation, which is usually all that employers are looking for anyways. I won't be talking about the Information Warfare and Security Management Concentration and general education classes.įor starters, Norwich is an excellent school for the money.

I'm sure NU employees may read this and please take it as constructive criticism as the program can be taken from 'decent' to 'great' in a few moves.įirst off I will only be talking about the Computer Forensics and Vulnerability Management Concentration as well as some of the foundational courses.

I'm going to be very blunt and not sugar coat anything.

For background, I'm an infosec analyst working for an enterprise who does a little bit of everything, from pentesting, to configuring MPSs, vulnerability management, etc. I've posted before regarding the program and I'm here with another update as I start wrapping up the 'concentration' classes of my degree. For those unaware, they're one of the few colleges that is online based, holds a good reputation within the government, and is NSA Certified. Hi there, I know the topic of colleges and such appears a lot on here and I'm an active student at Norwich University ( here's the curriculum).
