ABSTRACT
In January 2006, Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) offered its first course in Information Security. At the same time, the university received funding for its Cyber Security Research Institute, a non-academic unit closely related to and funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The establishment of this research institute led the administration, the Department of Criminal Justice in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Computing to create an academic minor in Cyber Security to be cross-listed between Criminal Justice and Information Technology. This paper describes the pedagogical effects of the creation of the minor and future implications for it and for the teaching of Information Security at Armstrong Atlantic State University.
