AA/AS in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications

Students learn to install, maintain and support computers, networks and related devices, preparing for technical support roles that focus on networking services. Lectures are paired with practical lab work. Online delivery is available for much of the program, though some courses still need attendance in person. Availability depends on the specific award, so applicants should check each credential. The associate of applied science is based at the North Mankato campus, with new cohorts beginning in fall and spring. Diploma and certificate options cover network administration and related topics for those who want a shorter route. Prospective students should confirm which courses are offered online for the award they want, since the mix of formats varies from one credential to another. Interested applicants can phone or email the admissions office, ask for more information, arrange a campus visit and then submit an admission application to begin enrolling in this program.
