HERE HERE These certificates have been developed as a means for practicing technical professionals to develop new skills in network engineering. The program is part of GMU's response to the information technology worker shortage in Virginia. It combines an academic preparation that teaches principles of lasting applicability with hands-on training in today's networking technologies. Completion requires the participant to demonstrate the ability to do real network engineering, using both the academic and hands-on preparation. We offer two certificates:
  • The Network Science Certificate - Requires successful completion of the eight blocks in telecommunications, network protocols, network security, and network management. Each block consists of four online sessions.
  • The Network Engineering Certificate - Requires successful completion of both Computer-Based Technology Training from Learning Tree International and the Network Engineering Practicum conducted by GMU and Learning Tree.
The program has completed its initial pilot phase. Regular classes began in October 1998. Because the NSC classes are asynchronous, it is practical to start at any time.
