Network Support Specialist Option (1576)
1 yr certificate
What is it?
The Network Support Specialist Certificate option is designed to prepare students to become support specialists in both a hardware/software and network environment. Areas of emphasis will be on network concepts such as Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) support.
Upon completion of the appropriate courses, the student may elect to take the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) exams*. Other certifications attainable upon completion of the appropriate courses would include A+, Network+ and MCP. While every effort is made to assist the student in preparing for the MCSE exams, no guarantee is made that he/she will successfully pass the exams.
The student must earn a minimum grade of “C” in CISM 2201 before enrolling in any networking courses. Exceptions are made for students with exceptional computer experience and are made by the director of the program as needed. Applicants having passed any of the MCSE exams prior to taking the equal course can be exempted from that course. However, any MCSE 4.0 exams/courses will NOT transfer in to the program.
The courses in the program are subject to change in order to be responsive to the changing Information Technology demands of the workforce.
Students who complete this certificate may elect to take the necessary courses to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in the Network Support Specialist Option (3357).
