    I am currently a student at DeVry University studding Network
    Communications Management. My true concentration is in security
    forensics.

    In any case the more I looking into vulnerabilities and network flaws
    the issues come from within the programming of the
    application/protocol etc. and most assaults use multiple programming
    languages to execute these attacks.

    I have two questions, the first is should I be learning how to
    program? My current studies have only one programming language course
    (Intro to Java). Second, will the Bachelors degree I'm getting help me
    get into the field I'm looking for or should I change my major to
    something else such as MIS or CIS?

    Thank You for your time
    Best Regards
