Program Description
Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services). Cloud computing has simultaneously transformed business and government, and created new security challenges at an unprecedented pace. The development of the cloud service model delivers business-supporting technology more efficiently than ever before.
This degree educates students for the expertise, knowledge, and skills required in today’s evolving cloud computing, virtualization, and security industry. In fact, International Data Corporation (IDC) recently reported that “In 2012, more than 1.7 million jobs related to cloud computing remained unfilled worldwide. The reason for this is lack of training and certification.” Both of these issues are addressed by this degree program in Cloud Computing and Virtualization Security.
Program Prerequisites
Course placement into MATH 0070 or above, or completion of MATH 0030 or MATH 0060 with a grade of C or higher, course placement into college-level English and Reading OR completion of ENGL 0950 with a grade of C or higher OR completion of RDNG 0940 with a grade of C or higher and qualifying English Placement Exam OR completion of RDNG 0950 with a grade of C or higher and ENGL 0090 with a grade of C or higher OR completion of ESOL 0051 with a grade of C or higher and ESOL 0052 with a grade of C or higher, and successful completion of ECT 1001 with a grade of “C” or higher or proof of current A+ certification or demonstrated, relevant work experience or instructor consent.
