A program with pedigree
You might be asking yourself, “Why Cisco?”
Cisco is one of the largest information technology firms in the world and it comes with a high-tech pedigree. Its founders settled into California’s legendary Silicon Valley in the 1980s and pioneered the routing technology that paved the way for the internet.
With its worldwide presence, developing your networking skills on Cisco technology will pave your way to notable accomplishments.
Backed by Cisco’s knowledge
Our program is offered in collaboration with the Cisco Networking Academy and taught by faculty who’ve received training from the same. They’ll teach you about:
- Internetworking protocols
- Configuration and utilities
- Troubleshooting
- Network design and management
- Internet architecture
- Ethernet concepts and operations
- Routers and switches
And the credits earned in our Cisco courses transfer to four-year colleges and universities if you decide to earn a bachelor’s degree.
