Biometric Security

Bachelor of Science - 120 credits

Biometric technology is growing in popularity, both in the private and public sectors. With respect to the field of Information Security, Biometrics is the applicable study of how to authenticate individuals via biological features. An alternative to passwords, which can be cracked or stolen, biometric authentication applies unique physical characteristics such as fingerprint, retina, or voice patterns. A bachelor’s degree in Biometric Security will prepare students to apply biometric technologies to meet the need for secure authentication.
