As the development of new applications and cloud computing continue to evolve, the need for computer systems administrators will continue to increase. TU’s network and systems administration concentration aligns our students with real world experience, and the ability to display knowledge through the professional certification process.
TU’s network and systems administration classes teach network infrastructure and server administration, as well as cloud computing, a rapidly growing field for system administration. The program will focus on systems administration in both the LAN and WAN environments to ensure that our students will gain experience in working with cloud based administration.
With the computer science major, students will be able to identify hardware and various operating systems, and will develop and modify programming concepts and computational mathematics to operational computer applications and code. Our classes will teach students to analyze computer science research and apply findings to solve real world problems, as well as compare and contrast knowledge of computer security models.
With the concentration of network and system administration, students will apply knowledge of networking concepts and principles to solving problems related to networked computer systems, as well as demonstrate the ability of Microsoft client and server operating systems to configure, repair, optimize and solve system issues.
Classes will prepare students for several certifications. The need for professional certifications has been identified through various studies and responses with our industry partners. The program encourages students to sit for as many professional certifications as possible, proving that they have demonstrated knowledge up to industry standards. Tiffin University is a Certiport Authorized Testing Center and has the ability to administer any Microsoft Certifications available. These certifications, partnered with a degree in computer science will allow our students to have a competitive advantage when it comes to job placement.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the latest data available for network administrators in computer systems design and related services, the need is going to increase 20% from the year 2016-2026.
