Cert in Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management

This short online certificate prepares learners for entry-level technical support work. The twenty-five credits cover computer networks, database ideas and applications, computer architecture, troubleshooting and network security, giving a practical grounding in how modern systems fit together. All classes take place online, so students can study from home on a flexible schedule. The curriculum is also aligned with exams from CompTIA, Cisco and CIW, which helps graduates demonstrate their skills to employers. Admission is rolling, meaning there is no fixed application cut-off and a student may begin when ready. Credits earned can continue into the university's information technology associate or bachelor's degrees, so the certificate works either as a stand-alone credential or as the first step of a longer path.
