Graduate Certificate in Applied Network Infrastructure and System Administration

IT infrastructure, including both services and end-user computing, continues to move to the data center. Whether a company is providing that infrastructure for internal use, or to external customers as a service, the analysis, design, implementation, and support of that environment is key.

This four-semester accelerated program enables students to gain the knowledge and skills required to thrive in this highly dynamic environment. Skills will be developed in the critical IT areas of infrastructure planning, deployment, and management. Students will apply new skills and knowledge in operating systems, networks, and virtualization to standard industrial use cases and collaborative projects. To facilitate optimal learning and knowledge transfer for the workplace, all practical work is completed in learning labs that meet industry virtual and network environment standards. This program is suitable for individuals looking to add practical experience to their current education, or further, develop and enhance their IT skills for advancement in their field.
