Computer Systems Support Specialist

The Support Specialist option is for those who are seeking to start a career in microcomputer applications management and systems administration. This option emphasizes the horizontal integration of application packages, systems management, and provides introduction to microcomputer programming. It includes training in many of the software packages used in business, operating systems, programming essentials and networking fundamentals.

The program has been designed to be completed in two years, if you attend full time. However, there are entry-level expectations for skill levels in reading, writing, and mathematics. The length of time you take to complete the program will depend on your skills in these areas. To assess the time you will need to complete the program, please meet with the a member of the CIS/CS faculty. Note: Many classes are offered through alternative deliveries rather than the traditional day class (night and online) but not all. It is not possible to complete the degree without attending some campus day classes.
