School of Science and
Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Bachelor of Network Administration and
Security (BS) program helps students build
credentials in the field of computer security
and to obtain knowledge essential to the
field. The emphasis will be on analyzing
security policies and evaluating risk assessment
techniques. The Bachelor of Network Administration
and Security (BS) program is offered online
via distance learning. After evaluating
both academic record and life experience,
AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Bachelor of Network Administration
and Security (BS) curriculum is designed
individually by the student and academic
advisor. It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities
in the student’s major and intended
field of work. Understanding that industry
and geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead of
a standardized one-fits-all design is the
hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.

Job Description
Bachelors in Network Administration and
Security
Network administrators set up and maintain
computer networks. Network administrators
may design company-specific intranets or they
may work on developing an external network.
Once a network design has been established,
the network administrator sets up the network
hardware and software and configures network
settings, including crucial security settings.
Supervising and maintaining a network is also
part of a network administrator's job.
Skills for
Success
-
A network administrator should have a
strong background in math, sciences, and
computer science, as well as experience
working with computers. Although a college
degree in computer science, systems science,
math, or engineering is not required to
become a network administrator, advancement
is difficult without one. Administrators
should be familiar with a variety of network
operating systems, including Microsoft,
Novell, and Unix. Because computer technology
changes rapidly, administrators must constantly
upgrade their knowledge base.
