New "Information Security Forensics" Certificate at GCC Leads to Good Jobs
"Information Security Forensics," a new Certificate of Completion offered at GCC, gives students a new, rapid pathway to an in-demand career field. This certificate requires only 24 credit hours--most Associates degrees require 60-65 credits, and most Bachelors degrees require 125 or more credits. Certificates of Completion are a good choice for those who seek immediate entry into the work force or on-the-job advancement. This certificate provides students with the knowledge and tools to gather evidence, often as part of a criminal investigation, from computers and computer networks. They gain technical knowledge of computers' operating systems, supporting hardware, system/application programs, and networks. This certificate is part of a comprehensive Information Security program that prepares students for internationally recognized industry certifications. For more information on this new program or any of the more than 50 other GCC certificate programs, visit the campus at 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale to see an academic advisor in the Enrollment Center, or call 623.845.3097. Spring classes begin Jan. 17, 2006.
