The MS in Networking and Systems Administration (NSA) examines the organizational and technological issues involved in mobile and sensor networking, enterprise scale networking, and systems management. Industry is seeking a new kind of professional that understands the management and application of emerging technology on a global scale. Emerging technology like wireless and wired networks, mobile ad hoc networking, mobile device computing, green computing, virtualization, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things has expanded NSA beyond its traditional role. Adaptability is now a key component, as well as knowledge of how network technology functions in varied environments. Learn more at: http://www.nsa.rit.edu/

Thanks for sharing Sgt Trevor Barrett the video on the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Networking and Systems Administration (NSA) masters program.
"The RIT Networking and Systems Administration (NSA) master of science program is designed to provide both the knowledge and the technical skills needed to successfully compete in this environment. It is uniquely focused to address current issues in networking and systems administration, through investigation of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of this continually evolving field. Thus it examines the organizational and the technological issues involved in enterprise scale networking including: emerging network technologies, network processing, high performance computing, network programming, and security. The program is intended to prepare graduates to assume leadership positions in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations dealing with evolving networking solutions or to continue their education through the pursuit of advanced degrees."

Sgt Trevor Barrett I've watched RIT undergrads compete successfully at the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC) for a number of years as a judge. This looks like an excellent MS program. Great share. Thanks.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price- RIT actually has a micro masters for Cyber Security through EDx and you can transfer those credits into an advanced certificate program or the Masters program. Which I think is pretty cool. So if you don't have too much of your GI Bill left after your undergrad degree you can pay for the micro masters out of pocket which is cheaper, and then use whats left of your GI Bill for the advanced certificate or the Masters where you will get more bang for your buck. RIT has the yellow ribbon program for their grad degrees as well. So vets could potentially get a semester or two paid for by the GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon in their MS or advanced certificate. With the Micro Masters credits transferred in to the program it would only take a year to get your masters.
