Seneca's School of Information and Communications Technology is a recognized leader in the Networking world. This program is built on partnerships with some of the most influential names in networking today – CISCO, IBM, Microsoft – and focuses on network design, LAN administration, and microcomputer support. Subjects in the first three semesters are identical to those of the Computer Networking and Technical Support (CNS) program. If you wish to transfer from the CNS to CTY program, you can do so without loss of credit. A valuable co–op option in the senior semesters gives you an opportunity to apply your learning to the real world. The fourth, fifth and sixth semesters expose you to advanced concepts and hands–on training in network design and optimization, advanced topics in security, data communication and voice over Internet protocols (VOIP), UNIX/ Linux administration, multi–player gaming administration, AS/400 operations and connectivity, and E–Commerce support. CTY is a six–semester program, with required subjects available year–round. That means you can choose to complete your studies in six consecutive semesters, starting in the fall, winter or spring. Or you could take a break between semesters. During the final three semesters, you’ll have the opportunity to focus on particular areas of interest, such as security, data communications or network administration, by choosing from a list of professional options. The list of options is updated regularly to reflect new technologies.
