Information Technology: Network Administration and Security

Interested in computers? Someone who works in Information Technology (IT) ensures that all the computers in a network are secure, connected and working properly. Your courses will teach you about installing and upgrading computer programs, fixing technical computer issues (troubleshooting), managing the users who have access to the computer network, and incorporating programs that will keep these computers secure.

After completing your associate’s degree, you’ll be prepared to continue your education at the bachelor’s level or begin working as a computer technician, consultant, or network administrator in the IT department of a company, school, office, or other institution.
