Computer forensics involves the identification, preservation, extraction, interpretation and the documentation of digital evidence in criminal and civil investigations. It is an interdisciplinary minor developed and administered jointly by the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics of the Gregory H. Olsen College of Engineering and Science and the Department of Social Sciences, History and Criminal Justice of the Maxwell Becton College of Liberal Arts and Education. The minor, consisting of 15 credits, is designed to provide students with a blend of theory and practice in six interdisciplinary-specific courses – three from each school. This minor will provide students with a strong foundation in the knowledge, understanding and competencies sought by prospective employers in the area of computer forensics.
