The Information Assurance Program at Idaho State University was one of the first Centers of Academic Excellence.  First certified in 1998, our program has been recertified each year. 

The National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education Program is open to nationally or regionally accredited 4-year colleges and graduate-level universities. The mission of a nationally accredited institution must be in the Information Assurance (IA) arena or similar. Applications must be submitted electronically via the on-line application process. Applications are assessed against ten criteria, listed below, which are intended to measure the depth and maturity of programs of instruction in IA at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants must clearly demonstrate how they meet each of the ten criteria. Minimum requirements for each of the ten criteria must be met in order to obtain designation. Successful applicants are designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for a period of 5 academic years, after which they must successfully reapply in order to retain the designation. The criteria is reviewed annually and strengthened as appropriate to keep pace with the evolving nature of IA.
