"description": "<p>The Digital Forensics master's 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 (NCFS), which is based in the UCF College of Sciences as a forensic science research center and is housed in Orlando's Research Park, adjacent to UCF.</p> <div> <p>The mission of the MSDF degree program is to provide a quality graduate education in science and practices of digital forensics, to prepare the students for digital forensics jobs, and to prepare the students for a lifetime of learning. The objectives of the program include the following:</p> <ul> <li>To give MSDF graduates the knowledge and skills necessary to participate as an effective team member or team leader in digital evidence investigations</li> <li>To prepare MSDF graduates for professional careers in digital forensics examination, forensic tool development, tool verification and validation, security and forensics administration</li> <li>To prepare MSDF graduates with the knowledge and skills to pursue advanced studies and research in computer technology or computer crime-related disciplines</li> <li>To equip MSDF graduates with the communication skills, both oral and written, to become an effective problem solver as well as an effective communicator as an expert forensic examiner and expert witness</li> </ul> <p>The Digital Forensics MS degree is comprised of 30 hours of study beyond the bachelor's degree with required, intensive specialization in topics related to digital forensics. The degree program prepares students, including working professionals, who will pursue the degree on a part-time basis to gain the knowledge and skills required to work as an examiner in the field. The program may also be taken by those who have an interest in scientific applications and research in the field, and who would like to continue to a doctoral degree program or law school after completion.</p> <p>The program offers both a thesis option (6 credit hours) or an opportunity to complete two additional courses (6 credit hours) selected from the Restricted Electives.

"description": "<p>The Digital Forensics master's 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 (NCFS), which is based in the UCF College of Sciences as a forensic science research center and is housed in Orlando's Research Park, adjacent to UCF.</p> <div> <p>The mission of the MSDF degree program is to provide a quality graduate education in science and practices of digital forensics, to prepare the students for digital forensics jobs, and to prepare the students for a lifetime of learning. The objectives of the program include the following:</p> <ul> <li>To give MSDF graduates the knowledge and skills necessary to participate as an effective team member or team leader in digital evidence investigations</li> <li>To prepare MSDF graduates for professional careers in digital forensics examination, forensic tool development, tool verification and validation, security and forensics administration</li> <li>To prepare MSDF graduates with the knowledge and skills to pursue advanced studies and research in computer technology or computer crime-related disciplines</li> <li>To equip MSDF graduates with the communication skills, both oral and written, to become an effective problem solver as well as an effective communicator as an expert forensic examiner and expert witness</li> </ul> <p>The Digital Forensics MS degree is comprised of 30 hours of study beyond the bachelor's degree with required, intensive specialization in topics related to digital forensics. The degree program prepares students, including working professionals, who will pursue the degree on a part-time basis to gain the knowledge and skills required to work as an examiner in the field. The program may also be taken by those who have an interest in scientific applications and research in the field, and who would like to continue to a doctoral degree program or law school after completion.</p> <p>The program offers both a thesis option (6 credit hours) or an opportunity to complete two additional courses (6 credit hours) selected from the Restricted Electives. At least one-half of the credit hours must be at the 6000 level.</p> <p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 30 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree</strong></p> </div><p><strong>Please note:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/online/degree/digital-forensics-m-s/\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Forensics (MS) may be completed fully online</a>. Most courses are either online courses or have both in-campus and online course sessions. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.</p> <p>International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format. It could be difficult to satisfy these requirement since many courses in this program only have online format. Please contact Program Coordinator to discuss possible admission issue.</p> <p>UCF is not authorized to provide online courses or instruction to students in some states.

"description": "<p>The B.A. in Digital Media allows students to integrate the multiple domains of art, storytelling, and technology. It is designed to provide a solid foundation in techniques and theory in one focused area of competence, provide a broad understanding of related disciplines including arts, humanities, and technology, and provide extended experience in working in multidisciplinary teams on realistic problems. It recognizes that there are many combinations of courses which meet the needs of individual students. Two Tracks lead to a Bachelor of Arts Degree: 1. Game Design or 2. Web and Interactive Media.</p> <br /> <p><strong>Degree Requirements</strong></p> <ul> <li>Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.</li> <li>Departmental Residency Requirement consists of at least 24 hours of regularly scheduled 3000-4000 level courses taken from the UCF Nicholson School of Communication and Media.</li> <li>Students must earn at least a "C" (2.0) in each required course, except DIG 2000 and DIG 4713 which require a "B" (3.0) or better.</li> <li>Failure to maintain the required GPAs will result in the student being placed on Lack of Progress in the major. If a student on Lack of Progress fails to achieve the minimum required GPA in the subsequent term, the student must establish a remediation plan with NSCM Advising or will be dropped as a Digital Media major. A student who is dropped may seek re-admittance into the major by submitting a letter indicating the reasons for academic difficulties and positive plans for achieving the required GPA.

"description": "<p>The B.S. in Early Childhood Development and Education program at UCF prepares you to support young children and families using research-based, developmentally appropriate practices. 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>",

Throughout the program, you'll have the flexibility to select from a variety of courses that allow you to customize your education program to your personal interests and career goals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Build a solid background in economics and develop a unique perspective to help companies and organizations improve their decision-making and understand the consequences of their decisions. Explore areas such as data acquisition and analysis, interpersonal communication skills, critical thinking, report writing, and develop competency with relevant software. You'll learn about economics and business careers through research, informational interviews of professionals, and exposure to work environments through job shadowing, volunteer or internship opportunities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This degree provides you with the skills and training for careers in business and industry, law, government, politics, teaching, research and a variety of other areas. However, many economist positions require master's or doctoral degrees. Therefore, the business economics program also ensures that you have a strong foundation in order to pursue graduate studies in business, economics, law and public administration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Please note that the business economics degree is not eligible for a double degree with another College of Business Administration major.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Related Programs:</strong></p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/economics-bs/\">Economics, BS</a></li>\r\n <li><a href=\"https://business.ucf.edu/degree/business-analytics/\">Business Analytics, BSBA</a></li>\r\n</ul>",
