Abstract :
This paper describes three educational initiatives in support of software assurance education. The first project attempted to identify and document any knowledge, from any source, that could be related to the assurance of software. The second initiative focuses on the development of a master of software assurance reference curriculum. The third initiative implements the reference curriculum as two tracks within a Master of Science in Software Engineering program.
