The Graduate Diploma in Information Assurance is a credit coursework program. Any coursework completed or graduate diploma received will count towards the Master of Information Systems Assurance Management (MISAM) program should students apply to the MISAM program and get accepted. As MISSM graduates, students may not apply for the MISAM degree; however, they may apply for and receive the Graduate Diploma in Information Assurance if they wish to broaden their assurance, information systems audit and governance knowledge.
