BS + CCNA

DePaul CDM is a Cisco Networking Academy (CNA). Our faculty can make use of Cisco online learning resources to supplement their course materials. Students who wish to earn their Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) have access to all Cisco review materials as a part of their coursework. However, unlike many CNA institutions, our courses provide a broad range of learning materials beyond what Cisco offers.

Hands-on Learning

Coursework emphasizes hands-on learning with Cisco equipment. The CDM Network Security lab contains more than 80 routers, 50 switches, 40 firewalls, and a wide variety of servers and specialized network appliances, all of which are available to students in BS in NT courses to practice and perfect their networking skills.
