Graduate Studies

For its training component the center relies on its its parent, the Department of Mathematical Sciences, for its graduate track in cryptology. The expertise in the department speaks to the essence of Florida Atlantic University's Mission Statement by providing advanced graduate training and stimulation of economic development in a rapidly growing industrial sector of the service region. The graduate track in cryptology requires original scholarship as well as basic and applied research responsive to complex and critical issues in order to train an effective workforce which will meet societal needs in our region and beyond.

On the right hand side are the courses recommended for a graduate student interested in pursuing cryptology as their focus.
