Designing an Undergraduate Minor Program in E-Discovery

While the market for the E-Discovery (Electronic Discovery) is predicted to grow rapidly in coming years, the anticipated shortage of electronic discovery professionals is a result of the lack of education programs in this emerging field. In this paper, an undergraduate minor program in electronic discovery is proposed based on the experience and accomplishment of an established computer forensics program at a public university. Not only will the new program meet the demand of a booming job market, it is also an inspiring practice in expanding computer science education to a non-programming-centric field.
