Information Security
The Information Security concentration provides an understanding of the fundamental technologies and principles of information security. Through an agreement between the University of Mary Washington (UMW) and the University of Virginia’s (U.Va.) School of Continuing and Professional Studies at the Northern Virginia Center, UMW MBA students can complete 12 credits from U.Va. in Information Security course work and transfer these credits to UMW to satisfy the requirements for this concentration. The U.Va. courses are offered in a combination of online and traditional formats.
