Probably any school you choose in the US. This is the "most Popular" degree and thus the money maker for colleges. As far as I know only James Madison in Virginia offers a masters in Internet security and I do know that the ones teaching it cannot even keep the Universities computers safe and all updates are riddled with mistakes just like anywhere else. Proves there is no "expert" at Internet security.I would shop for the very cheapest name recognized school so that any job you apply for knows the schools reputation and you get the bonus points in the interview.

I just got my bachelor's in criminal justice. If you're into it, you can go to police academy and get in some sort of police department or work for a prison or jail. I'm going for my masters because I don't want to do law enforcement. It seems that law enforcement is all you can do with an associates or bachelors. It's a great degree though. I love it. Good luck!

If you are interested in a military career, get a BA degree first.  It will save you years in the grunt ranks as you can go directly to Officer Training School.

I think Art sounds like a logical choice for you.  Within arts,  fields such as visual communication, time arts, etc requires substantial computer knowledge.  Also, double major is always a choice.  Since you want to be involved in business, you can start as an art major and then start business with your art degree.  A degree in computer science will help, won't hurt.  You will need to take few math classes for computer science including calculus and linear algebra.

Depending on what you would like to do.  Like if you want to join the CIA you need a Bachelors degree to apply.  Being ex-military is a big help though.  Check out www.federaljobsearch.com

I agree, the degree will help open doors, if you want to work for the FBI but I do not see any difference in job advancement unless it is in the entry level.\n\nI know investigators' with no advanced education who are top notch. I also know investigators with a  degree who have  "Book Sense";however, lack common sense in application of the law.\n\nYou have to look at this on the individual basis. After all...when ever you begin working for an agency...Aren't you still a Rookie???

I don't think there are "security guard schools." When you hire a security guard, you provide the training for them.

A business degree is a wide open field. I'm a business major, but I'm specializing in human resources and management. This will allow me to take any management level position or a position in a lot of human resources positions. \n\nBut a business degree can do a lot of other things besides being a manager. Banking, accounting, finance, logistics, sales, marketing, retail management, are just some that come to mind.

what exactly r u asking?  The first site is the best place to start, then try the second one for just plain old info..  If your really want to know more take a course from Comptia in Security +.  That will teach you a lot about those issues.

People with a certification in Information Security (just make a search on Yahoo for it...there are two major certification resources for it) are becomming highly sought-after.  It will give you a leg-up as not many people have it.

Three come to mind--an MBA in management; an MS in computer science; and a MS in information science.  I think it depends on what you want to do with your life.

Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are good, but most schools have Information Systems as a degree program now.  Information Systems or Information Technology is the best major if you are looking to just be a network admin.

I would recommend getting your undergraduate degree in any field that interests you and that you will want to work in the industry of (ex. Public Relations, Marketing, Accounting), and a masters in Business Administration or Management.\n\nThat way, you can end up managing a company that deals with something you are educated about and enjoy (such as managing a marketing firm.)

Depends what you want to do in life!\n\nBut a few are really good general degrees. My advise is avoid anything that ends in "studies".\n\nresearch what jobs graduates from the course go on to get, and  what further qualifications would be needed.\n\nMaths and Physics degrees are always in high demand, everywhere. Psychology is an interesting and useful degree. avoid sociology, english language, philosophy, anyhting that seems too easy or even "interesting" - the best degrees are seen as "boring"!
