The Networking Systems Bachelor's of Applied Science Degree specialization at Eastern Florida State College prepares students to evaluate a company’s needs for network usage, then plan, design, and implement systems to meet the requirements — including the ability to update current systems and oversee the development of new ones.
Refer to the Bachelor Degree Programs overview page to find information about admission, graduation, general education and other requirements. Students who need technical electives will work with a bachelor’s advisor to determine the courses best suited to their plan of study.
Specializations: Several EFSC Associate in Science (A.S.) and Bachelor degrees have multiple associated specializations. Students must select one specialization, and will receive the specific A.S./BAS degree only one time. While students may take courses from more than one specialization, the specific degree will be awarded only once.
