    Its a post graduate college course. It was pretty intense. I took it in the late 90's. Now tuition is 1700$ and change, and they even say upfront your books will be 1000$ now (which they are probably on the light side).

  2. Re:Forensics Training by CsiDano · · Score: 3, Interesting · on What is the Scope of Computer Forensics?

    I learned all I know about computer forensics in college. It was a three year intense course that covered the actual forensics, note taking (important for presenting evidence later on), securing a crime scene and items ie. computers etc from a crime scene, gather forensically sound evidence, protocols in court(not everyone knows proper court etiquette or protocol), criminology, law, and networking, intrusion prevention and detection, risk management and disaster planning and recovery, operating systems and systems architecture. I attended the first college in Canada to offer such a course, and the college did a lot of field consulting with industry and continually add and refine the program. If you happen to be Canadian (or not but interested in studying in Canada) check out http://www.flemingc.on.ca/Full-time/ProgramDisplay .cfm?ProgramCode=CSI for more information. This program really leads to some good jobs that pay well and this sort of work is never going to disappear.

    How many are at colleges?

    Moreover, how many are at Canadian colleges with a "computer security and investigations" program?

  4. Assistance by CABAN · · Score: 3, Informative · on Finding Student IT Security Placements in the Industry?

    Assistance has been limited because the program was originally developed for an applied project. Placements were last minute options. This is a Canadian program. http://www.flemingc.on.ca/Full-time/ProgramDisplay .cfm?ProgramCode=CSI

  5. To be exact... by abb3w · · Score: 2, Informative · on Finding Student IT Security Placements in the Industry?
    They only hire smart university students.

    The NSA's stated requirements...

    Must be a U.S. citizen

    Must be a college student majoring in Construction Management, Supply Line Management, or related Facilities/Logistics field

    Have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale

    Must possess strong written and oral communication skills

    Eligible to obtain a high-level security clearance

    Must have reliable transportation to and from work

    As noted, this year is out-- they take applications from August 1 through November 15 for the following summer. However, the first requirement is likely to be the deal-breaker. The student states they are in a "computer security and investigations" program-- this strongly suggests the querent is in the Fleming College program, in Ontario, Canada.

    If so, inquiring whether the Communications Security Establishment has a comparable program; however, their student/coop page doesn't seem overly promising.

    FYI. This is the program he's in.
