Study Title: How Cybersecurity has been integrated into Liberal Arts Technology Programs

 

You are invited to participate in my dissertation research study entitled “How Cybersecurity has been integrated into Liberal Arts technology programs.” The study has been approved by the University of the Cumberlands Institutional Review Board.

 

The purpose of this study is to explore how Cybersecurity has been included in Liberal Arts Institutional programs. The study will give greater insight into the beneficial elements that Liberal Arts institutions utilize while also providing research-based justifications for current or future program development. Potential participants will be faculty or curriculum development members at institutions that identify themselves as being liberal arts based and are involved with that institution's technology program or curricula development. This is a phenomenological study, so the focus is on exploring your experiences on the subject, and therefore the interview will be only semi-structured in nature.

 

Data collection will involve a pre-interview questionnaire for basic classification data and an individual interview, which will take approximately one hour to complete. Participants will be identified via an assigned ID in the dissertation, and Institutions will be identified via an assigned ID. No personally-identifying information will be included in the dissertation transcripts.

Sincerely,
