The program's coursework examines the various methods used to determine whether something has been used for illegal or unauthorized activities, or has fallen victim to an illegal attack. Upon graduating, you'll have the knowledge and skills required to work as an examiner in the field or continue on to a doctoral degree or law school. Gain employment in a number of industries from government to law enforcement to the private sector. This program also prepares you for certification exams, including CompTIA A+, GIAC Security Essentials and CompTIA Network+.\r\n\r\nDesigned to help you balance school, work and life, the <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/online/degree/digital-forensics-m-s/\">UCF Online digital forensics program</a> is available 100 percent online. Please note that if you choose the thesis option, you will be required to have a one-time on-campus thesis defense before you can graduate. UCF also provides a <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/computer-forensics-certificate/\">Computer Forensics Graduate Certificate</a>, which requires completing 12 credit hours.\r\n\r\nThe Master of Science in Digital Forensics degree is a collaborative effort between various UCF academic departments — Computer Science, Forensic Science of Chemistry, Criminal Justice and Legal Studies — and the National Center for Forensic Science. The National Center for Forensic Science is a State of Florida Type II Center and a member of the National Institute of Justice Forensic Resource Network of the Department of Justice, serving the needs of state and local law enforcement and forensic scientists.",

In addition, students will take 6 hours of DIG 6971: Thesis credit (3 in Fall and 3 in Spring in a typical program of study).  Each candidate for the Master of Arts submits a thesis prospectus and preliminary bibliography on a topic selected in consultation with the adviser. The formal thesis is initiated by the preparation of a proposal that meets both departmental and university requirements for the thesis. Prior to enrollment into thesis credit hours, the adviser, in consultation with the student, designates a Thesis Committee to be further approved by the College Graduate of Studies. This committee is chaired by the adviser and includes two or more additional faculty members from the Nicholson School of Communication and Media.  The members of the student's thesis committee judge the proposal as the preliminary step to beginning the thesis. This committee must approve the Thesis Proposal before academic credit can accrue.  The thesis is a formal written document. The introduction cites similar, related, and antecedent work. The body explains the purposes of the project, the method of its production, and any evaluation that was performed. The conclusion includes plans for future work. The thesis also includes an archival copy of the resulting creative product. Both the thesis and the creative product must be delivered in digital form, acceptable by the UCF library according to its standards for digital dissertations and theses.</li><li>Earn at least 6 credits from the following: <ul><li>DIG6971 - Thesis (1 - 99)</li></ul></li><li>Earn at least 6 credits from the following types of courses: Electives</li>Thesis Defense<li> In addition to a written thesis, the final step in completing the thesis requirement is an oral defense before the thesis committee.

The electives may come from any COM, DIG, or FIL prefix or other as approved by the graduate coordinator. Many graduate-level courses in the College of Arts and Humanities can be used as electives, based on an adviser-approved plan of study. These courses must be selected to ensure that at least one-half of the courses in the student&#x27;s plan of study are taken at the 6000 level. In addition, students will take 6 hours of DIG 6971: Thesis credit (3 in Fall and 3 in Spring in a typical program of study).\n\nEach candidate for the Master of Arts submits a thesis prospectus and preliminary bibliography on a topic selected in consultation with the adviser. The formal thesis is initiated by the preparation of a proposal that meets both departmental and university requirements for the thesis. Prior to enrollment into thesis credit hours, the adviser, in consultation with the student, designates a Thesis Committee to be further approved by the College Graduate of Studies. This committee is chaired by the adviser and includes two or more additional faculty members from the Nicholson School of Communication and Media.\n\nThe members of the student&#x27;s thesis committee judge the proposal as the preliminary step to beginning the thesis. This committee must approve the Thesis Proposal before academic credit can accrue.\n\nThe thesis is a formal written document. The introduction cites similar, related, and antecedent work. The body explains the purposes of the project, the method of its production, and any evaluation that was performed. The conclusion includes plans for future work. The thesis also includes an archival copy of the resulting creative product. Both the thesis and the creative product must be delivered in digital form, acceptable by the UCF library according to its standards for digital dissertations and theses.</div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-A.2\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A.2-result\">Earn at least <span>6</span> credits from the following: <div><ul style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px\"><li><span><a href=\"#/courses/view/60ca6a8b714b5ff223522050\" target=\"_blank\">DIG6971</a> <!-- -->-<!-- --> <!-- -->Thesis<!-- --> <span style=\"margin-left:5px\">(1 - 99)</span></span></li></ul></div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-A.3\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A.3-result\">Earn at least <span>6</span> credits from the following types of courses: <div>Electives</div></div></li><div><span>Thesis Defense</span><li data-test=\"ruleView-A.4.1\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A.4.1-result\"><div>\nIn addition to a written thesis, the final step in completing the thesis requirement is an oral defense before the thesis committee.

Your coursework will provide you with the knowledge and skills in many areas, including child development, social and emotional development, assessment and literacy. Here, we believe that all children deserve a strong foundation in a safe and nurturing environment, using a constructive approach to learning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With two tracks available, you'll have the opportunity to choose a path that aligns with your professional and personal goals. Both tracks include practical application work as a way to help students apply what they learn by participating in multiple school and agency opportunities. The early childhood development and education program also works closely with the UCF Creative School, which is an NAEYC-accredited child care program on campus. You'll work closely with faculty to create your individual plan, which may include practicum placements at top organizations such as Nemours and Arnold Palmer children's hospitals, Make a Wish Foundation, Orlando Science Center, Children's Home Society, United Cerebral Palsy, Head Start and Early Head Start, among others.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/early-childhood-development-and-education-bs/education-pre-kindergarten-primary-pk-3/\">Education, Pre-Kindergarten through Primary (K-3) Track</a> (certification)</strong><br>\r\nThe certification track allows you to explore teaching pedagogy and instructional practices focusing on early childhood education. It's a great option if you're interested in teaching pre-kindergarten through third grade. This track meets the educational requirements for certification in pre-kindergarten through third grade. Upon graduating from this Florida state-approved teacher preparation program and passing all three Florida Teacher Certification Examinations, you'll qualify for the Professional Florida Educator's Certificate. Additionally, you will graduate with ESOL and Reading Endorsements.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/early-childhood-development-and-education-bs/early-childhood-development/\">Early Childhood Development Track</a> (non-certification)</strong><br>\r\nIn this track, you'll take a series of core and specialization courses that prepare you to work with children, parents and families in a variety of settings. Your coursework will cover children's literature and family systems, as well as courses that meet the requirements to become a certified child life specialist. Child life specialists work in hospital settings and help reduce the stress and anxiety children and families experience related to healthcare and hospitalization. Please note that you will not become certified upon completing this program as there are additional requirements to meet post-graduation. This degree culminates in a semester-long practicum.</p>",
