Computer Networking & Digital Forensics

CIP 11.0901

C.S.I. for Computers

In partnership with the Computer Forensics Analysis and Training Center, DCTS is expanding studies in Computer Networking to prepare students for emerging high-demand careers in networking, digital investigations and I.T. security.

During the first year of the program, students learn the intricacies of the inner workings of computers and networks. They are challenged to earn their a+ certification. Once the students succeed in the foundation of computer technology and earn the a+ certification, they can choose a special area of concentration.

In networking, students learn the specifics of Network Administration and the technical aspects of installing and maintaining computer networks.

Students concentrating in Computer Forensics learn to identify, extract, analyze, document, protect and present electronic data. From cameras and cell phones to hard-drives and servers, students will be introduced to the wealth of sources from which data is retrieved.
