Network+ builds on your basic network knowledge and builds the foundation and fundamental skills to install, maintain, and troubleshoot networks that businesses rely on. 

IT administrators must manage a large variety of systems and the work must be done accurately.  Admins can use scripts to automate processes ensuring the work is done accurately every time.  You will learn the basics of scripting and apply this knowledge to real world IT problems and processes.  

Supervised internship performed off-campus in a computer network or systems support setting.

CompTIA's Security+ provides the basic knowledge needed to plan, implement, and maintain information security in a vendor-neutral format. This highly respected certification will give you the foundational skills to perform core security functions.

Business services and IT infrastructures are moving to the cloud.  Modern IT professionals must understand cloud concepts and be able to securely setup and maintain these systems for their employers.  Students in this course will learn to:

• Understand cloud architecture and design
• Deploy cloud services and solutions
• Successfully maintain, secure, and optimize a cloud environment
• Troubleshoot common issues related to cloud management

This course will cover the use of databases in business and how they are used in daily operations and to drive business decisions. Students will gain introductory experience with database setup, backup and maintenance, and data import, export and integration. Organizations collecting and storing data is not enough. Data for decision making needs to be analyzed to identify trends and outliers. Students will be introduced to SQL scripting, data analysis tools and ways of visually displaying data. Microsoft Power BI suite of tools will be used for live dashboards, charts, and printed reports.

Gain experience in understanding, designing and working with on-premise Active Directory and the cloud-based Azure AD for Microsoft networks. Through hands-on exercises students learn how to plan for deployment, develop security strategies, work with group policies and user profiles, configure access control and resource sharing, monitor performance and administer Active Directory. Virtualization and scripting using PowerShell is utilized. Prerequisite: IST 112.

Technology is evolving at an alarming rate.  This course will explore and develop projects in the emerging areas of mixed reality (MR), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).
