You should probably also be willing to work a while as a network administrator because most infosec professionals come from these ranks irrespective of degree, and because this is an arena where entry level jobs are much more common. If you still have some flexibility in selecting coursework and curriculum, you might want to balance across these two areas so as to maximize your short-term just-out-of-school job prospects, and well as your longer-term desire to toil in the infosec fields.
HTH, and thanks for posting,
