Program Description:

This degree gives students the
knowledge and tools necessary to
be successful in the field of com-
puter networking. Courses cover a
range of networking topics, includ-
ing network operating systems,
hardware, web page design, and
system administration.

Through our International Univer-
sity College Division, six of the
courses required for the program
are taught at Sault College in Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario. This collabora-
tion between LSSU and Sault
College exposes students to a
broader range of hardware, soft-
ware and networking topics. They
will have hands-on experience
with Linux, Novell and Windows
platforms, as well as networking
hardware and operating system
installation. By taking advantage of
the resources, as well as the faculty
expertise, from two schools,
students will benefit from an
enriched educational experience —
all within LSSU’s regular tuition
structure.

Some of the highlights of the
program are:

•

Students get hands-on training
in networking hardware and
software, and receive the
necessary concepts of hard-
ware, software and network
operating systems.

•

Students  are prepared to take
industry-standard examina-
tions, such as those established
by Cisco, Novell and Microsoft.

•

Students can choose software
design, research, or co-opera-
tive education as their senior
capstone experience.
