Alright so i am a upcoming senior in HS, and want to go into the Information Security Analysts field. Which is part of the computer science major i think?
So if i go for the CS Major, will that be good for the Info Security Analyst job?
And the colleges i am looking into that have CS major are (New York Schools)
Suny New Paltz *
ny INST for tech*
Stony Brook*
Suny Binghamton
Suny Albany
Suny Geneseo
Thanks for the help. I am a little confused on how this works!!
Look over these job ads for Information Security Analyst in the state of New York, and see what they say about education and what degree, certifications and experience they look for: http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=Information+Security+Analyst&l=new+york
It is possible that certifications and skills sets will be at least as important as a degree, and more important than the name of the degree. If your Computer Science degree program does not have all the kinds of courses you need to get certifications and skills, then look at getting them online through Coursera.org or some other source. Also do internships or co-op to gain experience. Here is info on certification as an information systems security professional: https://www.isc2.org/cissp/default.aspx
