Program Description:
The Networking A.A.S. degree
prepares students for work in the field of computer networking. Students
completing the degree are qualified for jobs in the expanding field of
building and maintaining computer networks.
The program teaches students the fundamentals of
networking, including how to design a local area network and how to
install and maintain it. Students also become competent in configuring
switches and routers for both LAN and Internet implementation. Other
topics of study include network management, learning how to design and
apply Access Control Lists and apply concepts relating to network
security, maintenance, trouble shooting, and upgrading of facilities.
Basic concepts of computer architecture and design and computer
programming are learned, and students acquire a working knowledge of the
Unix operating system. In addition, upon completion of the four
networking courses which are part of the
Cisco
Networking
Academy
curriculum, students are prepared to take the Cisco Certified Networking
Associate examination.
