Career Pathway—Business Management, Marketing, and Technology
No industry drives the rapid changes in new technology as completely as the computer and networking sectors. There are both local and worldwide employment opportunities for knowledgeable and skilled technicians, who possess computer troubleshooting/ repair skills; network installation/management skills; computer programming skills; database administration skills; and computer-related, industry-endorsed certifications. With an increasing world emphasis on computer technology, the projected demand for computer, programming, database administrators, and network administrators will remain exceptionally high.
The Computer Engineering Technology Program emphasizes the state-of-the-art knowledge and skills needed to prepare students for a challenging and exciting career in this fast-paced, high-tech, rapidly growing industry. These programs are also designed to prepare students to take the industry-based certification exams, including A+, Net+, Novell CNA and CNE, Microsoft MCP and MCSE Security, Oracle Database Administration, and Cisco CCNA.
The Computer Technology degree and certificate programs are designed for individuals just beginning training to pursue a career in computer servicing, programming, database administration, and networking, as well as those already working in industry who need to upgrade their skills for new responsibilities or career growth.
