Master's Degree in Digital Forensics

Year: 2007

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Law enforcement agents at the local, state, and federal levels have informed us of backlogs of computer-related crime cases ranging from 18 months to three years. The primary cause of these backlogs is the lack of educated and trained personnel to serve as digital forensics examiners. In response to this need, the University of Central Florida has created a Masters in Digital Forensics. This 30-hour degree is an interdisciplinary mix of technical, legal, ethical, and courtroom testimony-based courses. Students must complete a capstone course as well as a graduate internship to demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills acquired from the courses
