AA/AS in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications

Networks underpin nearly every business and public agency, and this applied science degree trains students to build and maintain them. Hands-on work happens in labs equipped with computers in Bethlehem. The sequence follows the Cisco Networking Academy requirements and is revised regularly with input from industry experts. Projects have learners plan, set up and repair sophisticated networks that resemble real workplaces. Graduates can step into jobs after two years or transfer toward a bachelor's degree, with career and transfer support available throughout. Classes are held on campus.
