System Administration (Certificate)

The Certificate in System Administration program is designed for students seeking knowledge that will prepare them for a career as a system administrator. The certificate requires completion of four graduate courses in topics such as enterprise server system administration, distributed workstation system administration, open source server system administration, and open source software. Students may apply credits earned in the certificate program toward a graduate degree.

Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, but the degree does not need to be in an information technology or a computer-related field. Prerequisites may be required for some courses in the certificate program, but the prerequisites will not be applied toward the certificate.
