CCS Undergraduate Degree Programs

BS Computer Science with specialization in Network Engineering (CS-NE)

With the growing importance of corporate networks and the Internet, there is a need for qualified individuals in computer networks. The Networking Engineering (NE) Program answers this need by equipping student with the skills and knowledge to develop and manage multi-platform corporate and service provider networks. Students will be going through the Cisco Networking Academy Program, which qualifies them to earn an internationally recognized certification called the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).

Students will take courses on network design, manmagement integration, migration, security, and operating systems, Knowledge in analog anf digital electronics will enable them to develop network-enabled devices while network-programming concepts will allow them to develop network-based software.

Possible course projects include the development of network appliances/devices, network management systems, and network security software.

Career Options

Graduates of the programs are highly eligible to pursue careers as network engineers, network administrators, network security administrators, network designers, firmware developers, network analysts, and network auditors.
