The textbook for this course covers a myriad of topics, all designed to give readers an understanding of what’s required to be an effective security manager. The textbook is excellent, but does not have the luxury of covering all of the topics in great detail. The purpose of the research project is to allow students to investigate a topic of interest and expand their security administration knowledge.

The research project must follow APA format and be a “minimum” seven pages (not including a title page, diagrams, graphs, charts, lists, quotes, reference page, attachments, etc) and “not” exceed 10 pages. Be aware I do “not” count quoted material, lists, charts, tables, pictures, etc in the page count. It must be scholarly, with at least “five” sources not from the course (textbook or Resources).
