Program Overview and Outcomes
Internet Technologies is a course designed to give students a solid foundation to begin a career in Information Technology. Students are given an overview of IT careers and the Microsoft Office Suite. The students are provided the opportunity to develop PC technician skills, learn how to build and maintain a personal computer, and learn how to build, maintain, and secure both wired and wireless networks through hands-on labs, lab simulations, and knowledge assignments. A CyberDefense course is also available to students who complete four years in the program. Students can choose Dual enrollment with Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) to earn transferable college credits for three of the courses offered. Upon completing the program, students will be prepared to enter the workforce and be college-ready.
