About the Program
Managing information has never been more important and information technology professionals are in demand,
installing applications,
designing complex computer networks,
developing information databases, and
managing systems.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills are a must, as troubleshooting and helping others are vital aspects of the job. Additionally, since there is constant interaction with other computer personnel, customers, and employees on the job, IT specialists must be able to communicate effectively on paper, through email, and in person.
Complete the certificate in one year, or pursue the diploma, which has two majors:
Software and Internet Development (two years)
Network and System Administration (two years)
Our program is designed to be flexible. Students will select a major when they apply; however the first semester of the program is common to all so students have the opportunity to change their major at a later date.
A Co-op Program option enables highly motivated students to integrate their academic program with paid, relevant work experience in their chosen field.
MHC?s IT programs incorporate all or part of the curriculum requirements for a number of industry certifications including
A+,
i-Net+,
Network+, and
various Microsoft Certifications.
The examinations for the respective certifications must still be written independently.
