Network and Systems Support – Certificate/AS Pathway

— What is Network & Systems Support?

Our Network & Systems Support program focuses on teaching the skills involved in installing, configuring, and supporting IT infrastructure and the various operating systems, while incorporating the principles and protocols in networked systems, as well as networking technologies. You will learn the essentials of network security and Windows systems administration, as well as PC maintenance and repair.

Network & Systems Support Certificate and Associate Degree

Our Computer Information Technology (CIT) programs are designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility in your studies. You can enroll directly into the CIT/Network & Systems Support Associate Degree program or choose our Network & Systems Support Certificate, which can be completed in just 8 months. You can always “stack” your certificate credentials later to earn your associate degree—in general IT or with a concentration in Cybersecurity—with just one additional year of study. No matter what path you choose, you will earn valuable credentials in a high-demand technology specialty and be prepared for industry certification exams.

This program offers start dates in September and January.
