Network Administration

This program is designed to provide the skills needed to design, build and maintain small to medium-sized networks and enter the workforce as a network administrator or network specialist. Included in this program are courses offered through the Cisco Networking Academy. These courses provide hands-on experience configuring and maintaining the routers, switches and other equipment used to connect networks and the Internet together. The curriculum used in these courses is specifically designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful in pursuit of certifications through Cisco Systems, Inc.

The Cisco certification courses, those with a prefix of ITCC, must be taken in sequence. There will be no enrollment allowed in a given ITCC course without the prerequisite course being completed. Students who enroll in these courses are also enrolled at the Cisco Networking Academy website maintained by Cisco Systems, Inc. Therefore, any student who has not passed the Cisco requirements for graduation from a specific course cannot be enrolled in the next course in the sequence, both at the Cisco website or at Weatherford College. Students must be proficient in keyboarding prior to enrolling in and pursuing this degree.
