Dunwoody Computer Networking Technician

Dunwoody’s Computer Networking Technician is a two-year degree program for students interested in jobs in computer networking and IT support, who need to take courses during the evening.

Learn computer logic, data communications, security procedures, basic programming, and everyday maintenance for Microsoft computers and applications. Install, configure, and manage enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server and SharePoint. After learning the basics of computer hardware, software, and operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows and Linux), you’ll go on to gain expertise in data communications, server systems, and networking technologies, including wireless networks and Cisco©.

You will also build your interpersonal communication skills and learn how to provide quality customer service. Upon graduation, you will be able to provide actual technical solutions to all kinds of business operating needs.

This degree directly transfers into Dunwoody’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Analysis.
