Within the Security and Risk Analysis Major (SRA), there are three options. At the time when a student requests entrance to the SRA major, an option must be chosen.

The SRA major is based on an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates areas of study in information assurance (both digital and physical security), intelligence analysis, and cyber forensics. It also would provide leadership and venue-specific skills needed in this area.
