The Digital Forensics Certificate will provide undergraduate students the confidence and training they need in incident response and various digital forensics including network forensics, mobile device forensics, host (Windows) and network (Linux) forensics and advanced memory forensics.
Become part of a critical layer of defense for the nation and its citizens in what's known as the next frontier: cyber security. The Bachelor of Applied Science in Cyber Operations with an emphasis in Defense and Forensics is one of three tracks. The Defense and Forensics track is a cyber-education program. Students learn how to defend systems and networks as well as how to identify and apply techniques used in the collection and analysis of cyber-based evidence.
Declaration or Application Process
A certificate can be completed as a stand-alone program or alongside an undergraduate degree. There are no additional application requirements for the Games and Simulation Certificate.
If you are a current University of Arizona student, you may declare your certificate here:
If you are not a current U of A student, you can apply for admission as a certificate-seeking student.
Games and Simulation is available via main campus and Arizona Online.
Students must meet the same general University of Arizona admissions criteria as degree-seeking students. The requirements and expectations are the same as a first-year, transfer or readmit student depending on what admit type a student is (first-year, transfer or readmit). Students have to fill out the application fully and submit all required transcripts and requested materials. Certificate seeking students (as in Certificate seeking only, not as part of a degree) are not eligible for merit aid or financial aid and if they apply as degree-seeking in the future, they are considered "readmits."
