The Graduate Diploma in Information Security is a one-year, 18-credit graduate program at Concordia University of Edmonton consisting entirely of coursework, with no thesis or major research component. It builds applied knowledge in protecting organizational information systems, within Concordia's broader information security programming in the Faculty of Management. Coursework completed in the diploma counts toward the Master of Information Systems Security Management (MISSM) degree, so graduates who go on to apply to and are accepted into the MISSM program can carry their diploma credits forward into the master's degree. Graduates of Concordia's Master of Information Systems Assurance Management (MISAM) program are not eligible to apply for the MISSM degree, but may still receive this Graduate Diploma in Information Security. The diploma suits students seeking a shorter, standalone credential in information security.
