The cyber forensics specializations in the Master of Science and Ph.D. programs in Purdue Polytechnic’s Department of Computer and Information Technology contributed to the #1 ranking. Graduate programs in the College of Science and College of Engineering as well as an interdisciplinary specialization in info-security administered by CERIAS were also factored into Purdue’s #1 rank.
Marcus Rogers, professor and head of the Department of Computer and Information Technology, said that the ranking is an indicator of the quality of the cyber forensics program’s graduates.
“We will also see an uptick in companies that are wanting more access to our students,” said Rogers.
CyberDegrees.org is a Washington, D.C.-based publisher of websites providing higher education information. In creating the rankings, the publisher assessed schools’ subject expertise, scholarship opportunities, and designation as a national center of academic excellence in cyber defense.
