It also prepares students for an entry-level position in computer and information technology. Students completing this degree are highly encouraged to add a specialized certificate which prepares the student for immediate employment in a particular field \\[e.g. Networking Specialist (CCNA), Programmer, Development and Operations, Web Development and Social Media, Technology and Innovation, or Cloud Computing\\]. For students earning the ITIS A.S. degree, these specialized certificates can be completed by adding approximately one extra course per semester. A closely related degree pathway in Cybersecurity is also available.\n\n### Program Learning Outcomes\n\nUpon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:\n\n1.  Computing Systems Administration: Applies computing system and networking concepts to ensure performance, security, and reliability of IT infrastructure.\n2.
