DeVry adds online net degrees

Enterprise Networks & Servers, Oct 2005

DeVry University will begin offering two new online degree programs in the growing networking field through DeVry University Online. A bachelor's degree program in network and communications management and an associate degree program in network systems administration is now available.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2002-2012 employment projections, networking is the second fastest growing occupation in the United States, with networking jobs expected to increase by 57 percent.

Steven P. Riehs, vice president and general manager of DeVry University Online, said graduates of these programs will be able to tap into career opportunities that exist in fields such as health care, retail, entertainment, and telecommunications, among many others. DeVry University's network and communications management bachelor's degree program develops skills to create and manage business networks.

Students in the network systems administration associate degree program will learn to administer networks for virtually any type of company or organization. The networking curriculum has an emphasis on the latest high-demand technologies, including wireless, security, VoIP, as well as business management skills.

In addition to the two new programs, DeVry University offers five other undergraduate and seven graduate degree programs online.
