Graduates are prepared to pursue a wide range of information technology roles in business, government, and technology organizations, including:

• Network Administrator / Network Engineer
• Information Security Analyst / Cybersecurity Analyst
• Systems Administrator
• Cloud Computing Specialist
• Database Administrator
• IT Project Manager
• Computer Systems Analyst
• Web Applications Developer
• IT Support Specialist / Help Desk Manager

The curriculum is aligned with industry standards, and coursework in areas such as networking, security frameworks, Linux administration, and cloud computing helps prepare graduates to pursue widely recognized industry certifications relevant to their chosen concentration. There is no state licensure requirement for these IT roles.

Expect a hands-on, career-focused program taught one class at a time in four-week terms, so you can concentrate fully on each subject. Early lower-division courses build PC support, networking, operating system, and information security fundamentals; upper-division courses advance into virtual infrastructure design, advanced Linux administration, database management systems, enterprise planning, and your chosen Networking or Cybersecurity concentration.

You will work in lab and hybrid settings with industry-standard tools and technologies, guided by faculty with real-world IT experience in small classes. Technical electives in project management and systems analysis, along with optional internship opportunities, let you tailor the degree toward your career goals. Plan for a full-time completion timeline of about 40 months, which can shorten with transfer credit.
