The Networking program is intended for students who, upon graduating from SUNY Adirondack, wish to enter the workforce as networking assistants. The curriculum is designed to provide the student with a solid basis in the hardware, cabling, network security, and the fundamentals necessary to install and maintain a computer network. The curriculum is coordinated through the CISCO Networking Academy (on-campus) to assist the student in preparing to achieve the CISCO Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) industry certification. This certification is received upon passing the CCNA exam (off-campus). Recommended High School Preparation: if available: computer hardware class, basic networking/LAN class.
In addition to the CCNA, advanced students may be eligible to take Network Professional courses (CCNP2, CCNP3, and CCNP4). These courses, along with Advanced Routing (CCNP1), prepare students in achieving the Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) industry certification. This certification is received upon passing the CCNP exams (off-campus). Recommended for High School graduates and individuals who achieved their CCNA certification prior to entering SUNY Adirondack.
