Certificate of Advanced Studies in Systems Assurance (CASSA)

The Department also offers a Certificate of Advanced Study in Systems Assurance (CASSA) . This Certificate program reflects our strength in the formal and rigorous analysis of systems as well as experimental systems. Syracuse University has been designated as a National Security Agency Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.

The courses cover the wide spectrum of system assurance, including the theoretical foundations, the synthesis of assured software and hardware, and the deployment of large-scale systems. The CASSA fits within the scope of the Computer Engineering (CE) and Computer Science (CS) Master's programs. To receive this Certificate, students must be enrolled in either the CE or the CS program and be accepted into the Certificate program.

By taking 11 courses, qualified students can earn an MSCE degree with a focus in assured systems and the CASSA. For more information about CASSA, please visit Systems Assurance Institute website.
