Where Can I Study Computer Forensics?

Posted by Cliff on from the computer-science-investigations dept.

Porthos asks: "Like many in the Slashdot community (though not all), I'm kind of bored at work. With tech work, there's always something more interesting than what I'm doing because I only have a few years experience and a Bachelor's degree. I want to go to grad school to study Computer Forensics, but I haven't a clue about where to start. Have any Slashdot readers taken this path? Are there any major universities that cater to this field? I know that some organizations, such as the FBI, have teams dedicated to Computer Forensics, but what is the rest of the forensics job market like?"

    Like with almost any job, employers are not looking for a degree specifically in computer forensics. I would suggest focusing on CS, especially the areas related to forensics. Also exhibit a strong intrest in criminology and work on the connections between the two by yourself. Good luck.
