The Computer and Network Systems Administration program prepares students for employment in a wide variety of positions in the information technology field. Students work in a “live” network environment, managing their own servers, clients, routers, and switches by applying concepts learned in the theory classroom. The combination of theory and hands-on lab exercises allows CNSA students to acquire comprehensive skills in the following technical areas: the internal operation of personal and server computer systems, the physical infrastructure of local and wide area networks, the design and management of computer networks, the administration of Microsoft Windows and non- Windows server and client operating systems, the design and development of Windows-based and Web-based applications, the management and design of relational databases, and the integration of enterprise software applications to solve business problems.
