What You’ll Learn
The South College Associate of Science in Network Administration and Security program is designed to provide students, through completion of courses consisting of lecture and hands-on computer instruction, with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, configure, support, and maintain computer network systems in a wide range of computing environments, and to implement and monitor computer security measures within these networks. The major curriculum courses included in this program are supplemented with courses in humanities, social science, mathematics, and business areas in order to broaden students’ overall knowledge, oral and written communication skills, and critical thinking skills.
Through this training, the program seeks to prepare students for the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certification examination (though the passing of examinations is not guaranteed), as well as other certifications such as CompTIA’s A+, Network+, and Security+ exams and Cisco’s CCNA exam.
