AA/AS in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications

Wharton County Junior College teaches information technology and networking through an Associate of Applied Science for network and computer systems administrators. Students choose a specialty track and prepare for work in a fast-moving field. Shorter credentials sit alongside the degree, including Level I certificates in network cloud and security specialties and a Level II certificate for network support technicians, so students can enter at different depths. The college lists careers such as information security analyst and IT project manager. Transfer support is available for those who want to continue toward a four-year institution after the associate degree. The college serves the Upper Texas Gulf Coast from several campuses. Prospective students can consult the college catalog for course details, follow the academic map for a semester-by-semester plan, and speak with an advisor or the department before they submit an application.
