I didn’t know that there was such a thing as a Masters of Science in Information Security until I was asked to look into Lewis University, which offers the course online.

I have a number of friends who are in the IT field, some of whom are graduates of Catholic universities in the Philippines, one of which is De La Salle University (DLSU).  The DLSU grads would be happy to know that Lewis Univeristy is a Catholic and La Sallian university!

I am all for continuing education.  When I was in college, I planned on taking a master’s degree.  But I was led to a different “calling”.  Anyway, anyone who has the opportunity to advance in his field should grab it, be it through a master’s degree or other training courses.  Almost always, however,  money and lack of time are the reasons one can’t go for it.  The option to take a master’s degree online is definitely a convenient and more affordable option.

It’s safe to say that Information Security Masters are in demand right now, or at least well on their way to being such. Technology is advancing at a pace that we could barely keep up with it. With technological advances come a lot of challenges, one of which is security. And becoming a Master of Information Security is an option IT professionals should look into.

One word of caution, be sure to learn as much as you possibly can about the university (online and otherwise) you intend to enroll at…the teaching staff, accreditation, etc.  Hopefully, that will keep you from wasting precious time and money.
