Telecommunications Systems Management
Associate in Computer Technology
Credit Requirements: 72 Semester Credit Hours
The Telecommunications Systems Management program prepares students for entry level or higher positions as help desk and PC support, network administrators, network managers, network designers, network engineers, system administrators, routing and switching specialists, Linux/UNIX system administrators, or network security specialists. Students have the option of acquiring a set of basic skills in a number of Information Technology disciplines or focusing in one discipline (for example, routing and switching) to acquire the higher level skill sets of a Cisco Certified Network Professional. With eight department electives, students can design the degree program which best fits their job requirements or their own goals and ambitions. Courses help students prepare for a myriad of IT vendor and vendor neutral certification exams. Trident Technical College is a Cisco Networking Academy for both the Cisco Certified Network Associate and the Cisco Certified Network Professional academic programs. TTC is also an MSDN Academic Alliance partner.
