Networking Option

The IST network options trains students for entry into the fields of network administration and systems support. Coursework includes PC hardware, networking essentials, network administration, and other supporting topics. The campus has an interactive networking lab equipped to provide students hands on activities to expand upon classroom theories of networking. These activities aid students in dealing with real world problems, situations and solutions and allow learning to happen beyond simply "chalk and talk" of the traditional college classroom. The layout of the lab is such that each row becomes a local area network containing five workstations and a server class machine in a server rack. Each rack contains network equipment including a switch, multiple hubs, and a router. This is very typical of what students will encounter in the workplace.

The overview of this program option is included in Appendix A1 in the IST Program Guide.
