Occupational Endorsement
The Information Systems departments offers options in Administrative Office Support, Computer Applications, Introductory Network Administration, Medical Office Specialist, Networking Essentials, Programming Foundations, Web Authoring, and Web Foundations. These endorsements are intended to indicate competence in technical and professional courses and are articulated with the Certificates in Computer Information and Office Systems, and the AAS in Computer Information and Office Systems.
A comprehensive Computer Placement Test is available at the Testing Center to assess your current computer knowledge. Beginning computer users are encouraged to take CIOS 100, Computers for Absolute Beginners, during the summer semester. A minimum grade of C is required in all courses. Some courses will be offered only by distance delivery. Due to the rapid change in technology the certificates in Computer Applications, Web Authoring and Web Foundations must be completed in a maximum of three years.
