Focus Areas If a student wishes to do so, the 21 credits of cyber systems electives and computer science electives can be used to pursue one of these four focus areas: cyber forensics, cyber security, wireless networking, or enterprise networking. The Graduate Advisor will assist each student in choosing courses that best match future goals. Required Courses (9 credits) CSCI 6642 - Computer Networks and Data Communication CSCI 6646 - Introduction to Computer Security CSCI 6651 - Introduction to Script Programming/Python The three require courses cannot be waived. However, a student with prior knowledge may substitute another CSCI course with the permission of the Graduate Coordinator. Cyber Systems Electives (15 credits) Students may choose five courses from the following: CSCI 6634 - Cryptography and Data Security CSCI 6637 - Introduction to Cyber Forensic Science CSCI 6638 - Small-Scale Digital Forensic Science CSCI 6639 - Enterprise Network Administration/Windows CSCI 6645 - Unix Network Administration CSCI 6648 - Cyber Security and Forensics Research Topics CSCI 6649 - Enterprise Network Design CSCI 6652 - Script Programming for Network Administration CSCI 6682 - Wireless Networks CSCI 6683 - Long Range Wireless Network Technologies CSCI 6690 - Master's Project CSCI 6698 - Thesis I CSCI 6699 - Thesis II CSCI 6692 - Internship I and CSCI 6693 - Internship II and CSCI 6694 - Internship III Internship courses CSCI 6692, 6693 and 6694 are 1- credit courses, so all three must be completed to be equivalent to a 3-credit course. Computer Science Electives (6 credits) The two computer science electives can be any CSCI course (including the cyber systems electives listed above) other than the four core courses: CSCI 6604, CSCI 6610, CSCI 6640, and CSCI 6644. Project Requirement Each student must complete a substantial project. There are three different ways to satisfy the project requirement (please note that this is not an extra course but will be applied to an elective slot): Project through a course (this course will count as a Cyber Systems elective or Computer Science elective). The student must choose one from this list: CSCI 6626 - C++/OOPP CSCI 6639 - Enterprise Network Administration/Windows CSCI 6645 - Unix Network Administration CSCI 6648 - Topics in Cyber Security and Forensics CSCI 6649 - Enterprise Network Design 2. CSCI 6690 Master’s Project course (this course will count as a Cyber Systems elective). Student who plan to complete CSCI 6690 Project must find a project advisor, prepare a project proposal, and obtain written approval for the project prior to registration. 3. CSCI 6698 Thesis I and CSCI 6699 Thesis II (these courses will both count as Cyber Systems electives). Students who plan to complete a thesis should start in their first or second term at UNH to find a thesis advisor, prepare a thesis proposal, and obtain written approval for the thesis prior to registration.
