The Curriculum
Most IT professionals are actually employed in non-tech companies. Our curriculum prepares you for a job in any industry by giving you a solid understanding of computer hardware and software, Cisco networking basics, database management, and system design and analysis. Upper level courses include wireless technology, security, and advanced programming.
