Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Describe and analyze hardware, software, network components, and their interrelations;
- Explain networking protocols and hierarchical relations of hardware and software;
- Compare protocol models and select appropriate protocols for a particular design;
- Manage multiple operating systems, systems software, network services, and security, as well as evaluate and compare systems software and emerging technologies;
- Develop solutions for networking and security problems, balancing business and technical issues and security;
- Explain concepts of confidentiality, availability, and integrity in Information Assurance; and
- Effectively communicate technical information verbally, in writing, and in presentation.
