Abstract

Development and modification of academic programs is enhanced by incorporating input from the stakeholders of the program. This paper discusses the process used by an Information Assurance and Security (IAS) program to obtain input from students during their final year of the program. Students evaluated job advertisements and information assurance curriculum recommendations and compared their findings to the IAS program. Students provided recommendations on how to better facilitate student learning. Faculty plans on using the student work and recommendations as input to the Academic Review Process during the upcoming year.
