Cert in Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management

This undergraduate certificate lays groundwork for planning, building and running computer networks. Students discover how routers, switches and servers join with network services to form complete solutions. The sequence begins with elementary programming, covering algorithm design and structured methods. Learners next use Python to automate tasks with realistic data, study data structures, and look at problems involving network speed and security. Students who are pursuing a degree and those who are not may both enroll, including working professionals and people who simply enjoy learning. This makes the credential a flexible way to add networking skills. The university also recognizes credit earned through life experience, training or employment. The certificate is taken part time on campus and consists of 15 semester hours.
