Computer Networking Technology (CNT) Program
Technology
is the key to a successful future! Opportunities
are virtually endless when you have mastered technology. Are you
looking for a training program that is in high demand and is expected
to show continued growth in the future? Entry-level salaries in
computer repair and networking jobs range from $25,000 to $40,000
a year. Job opportunities are growing dramatically with the expansion
of Internet and global networking.
The Computer Networking Technology Program is designed to provide graduates with the necessary skills to succeed in the jobs of the future. Graduates are able to administer a local area network, install and troubleshoot communication hardware/software and integrate technologies that the business world demands. The program aims to prepare one to be involved in a complex telecommunications environment.
Students learn to set up the complete system that facilities information exchanges between networks. The program offers a theoretical and hands-on approach to networking. For every hour of theory, students get two hours of lab time. Second-year students assist with on-campus networks and get practical experience in a student-run network in the technology lab. They install the network, run the cable, debug and maintain the system.
The
program is available to students with varied backgrounds. Sign up
now and get on the fast track to the many employment opportunities
including design, configuration, installation and maintenance of
networks in small and large companies.
The Computer Networking Technology program prepares graduates for a career in the advanced field of computers. Students learn in a hands-on environment installing and supporting computer-networking equipment, program Cisco routers and connect computers and related peripheral equipment. The first year students get an introduction to computers and networking basics. Sophomore level students learn to install fiber optic cables, telephone systems, troubleshoot, and repair. Students perform installation and maintenance of Windows Server Networks based Local Area Networks in a (LANs/WANs) setting and interconnect those networks with CISCO routers. Upon completion of the program, graduates are awarded an Associate of Applied Sciences (A.A.S.) degree and are prepared to take their Microsoft, A+, N+, Linux +, Security + and Cisco Certifications.
