Usually, the universities or colleges change or add new program in their university
website contents and the only way to get the new program information is just by using the
search engine....

The programs that offer digital forensics program are taken and listed in a
database. In this study, all data are putted into Excel worksheet. A list of universities or
colleges that offer digital forensics program is created and is categorized...

SUMMARY
As discussed in the previous chapters, from this research, we managed to come up
with a pattern on how digital forensics education should be established. The five
components consist of general, basic foundation, forensics...
