Bachelor of Applied Science - Advanced Networking and Data Security

The widespread adoption of technology into every aspect of daily life has fueled the rapid and continued growth of a wide range of Information Technology careers.  Many of these new positions require bachelor’s degrees. Additionally, many current IT professionals require additional training to further their career and can accomplish this through the pursuit of a BAS in Advanced Networking and Data Security from Tacoma Community College. 

TCC's BAS degree provides holistic education enabling graduates to meet the needs of a broad scope of high demand technical skills that area employers desperately need. The program will focus on security, networking, and databases with emphasis on highly desirable industry certifications, ethical behavior, diversity and equity, and soft skills.

While professionals with information technology degrees could work in any number of fields, TCC’s attention is focused on occupational classifications that most closely reflect natural pathways of networking for graduates of our degree.  Jobs included in this classification would include Computer Systems Analysts, Information Security Analysts, Database Administrators, Network and Computer Systems Administrators, and Computer Network Architects.
