RE: Certification or College degrees? Was: RE: list problems?
Not to toot the horn of my Alma Mater too much, but Ohio University's Communication Systems Management program (www.csm.ohiou.edu) is also along the lines of a network engineering degree. It also focus on other aspects of the industry (regulation, comm theory, security, etc) but they all sort of flow together. They were just getting into more hands on networking labs when I graduated, I am sure they have greatly improved since then.

We actually have that - or something close to it. We are slowly building a bigger networking lab with router-ish stuff for students to learn from. In fact, I'll be handing off full BGP table for them to see and play with in the lab. If you want to help us educate, we'll gladly accept any donations, particularly gear, we can get. :-) http://www.cs.depaul.edu/programs/2002/BachelorNT2002.asp http://ipdweb.cs.depaul.edu/programs/lan/index.html http://condor.depaul.edu/~jkristof/tdc375/ http://condor.depaul.edu/~jkristof/2001Spr365/ John
Also sounds a lot like Texas A&M University's Telecommunications Engineering Technology degree. (Yes, it says Engineering Technology. No, it's not a two year associates degree.) It's currently rich on voice communications networks, but is picking up tremendously on data communications. http://etidweb.tamu.edu/telecomm/tel_index.html On Wed, 22 May 2002, Pistone, Mike wrote:
