A Dedicated Undergraduate Track in Computer Security Education

To better prepare our graduates to face the challenges in computer and information security, in Fall 2002, the authors launched an undergraduate track in computer security for the computer science majors at Towson University. This paper describes the motivation for this track and discusses its structure and requirements.
