The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Cybersecurity Administration and the Cybersecurity Technician Certificate prepare students for a career in cybersecurity management and the support tasks relating to network management, system administration, technical support, hardware/software installation, and equipment repair.
The Cybersecurity Support Occupational Skills Award provides students with fundamental skills to enter the workforce. This is a stackable award that leads to the Cybersecurity Technician Certificate and the Cybersecurity AAS degree.
The program graduate will be able to design and install secure network systems based on customer requirements, monitor and maintain network traffic and security, and maintain network hardware and software.
Courses and hands-on labs in this program will assist the graduate in preparing to take a variety of Cisco, Microsoft, and CompTIA certification examinations.
The Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS) requires that TSI requirements are met.
Note:
Most careers in the Cybersecurity field require a criminal background check, thus your placement in internships, and/or licensure/certification opportunities may be impacted. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your program director and/or check with your chosen licensing/certification entity, to determine your status.
