Rowan-Cabarrus Community College recently became officially designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Two-Year Education (CAE2Y) through academic year 2019, a feat that establishes the College as one of the nation’s academic trailblazers in the area of cybersecurity. Jointly sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the CAE2Y program recognizes colleges and universities that have made significant contributions in meeting the national demand for cyber defense education, developing a number of professionals with cyber defense expertise and ultimately contributing to the protection of the national information infrastructure.
Upon completion of the program, participants will be prepared for lucrative careers in both local and national industries such as law enforcement and banking. And our partnership with the NSA and DHS gives Rowan-Cabarrus students internship and field trips with these agencies.

The Information Systems program is an internationally recognized undergraduate major for students who want to design and implement effective solutions to meet organizational and management needs for information and decision support. Course work includes development of a student’s ability to create, store, communicate, exchange and use information to solve technical is sues related to information support and services, interactive media, network systems, programming and software development, information security and other emerging technologies based on the selected area of study.
Graduates should qualify for employment in entry-level positions with businesses, educational systems, and governmental agencies which rely on computer systems to design and manage information. The program will incorporate the competencies of industry-recognized certification exams.

The Rowan-Cabarrus Networking and Virtualization program combines two important information technology functions.
Networking trains students to understand the fundamental concepts and technologies required to establish and administer a computer network. Students in this program learn network analysis and design, TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), local area networks, wide area networks and troubleshooting. Programs supplement classroom instruction with lab work that has students working directly with networking technology.
Additionally Network Virtualization, otherwise known as the Cloud, prepares students for careers as network administrators, network engineers, and network specialists. This program provides a study of the skills necessary to plan, design, implement, and administer virtualized environments including storage processes, virtualized servers, and virtualized desktops.
Courses within the program prepare students for industry certification exams offered by Cisco (CCENT), CompTIA (A+), EMC (EMCPA in storage and cloud infrastructure), and VMware (VCP and VCP-DT).

Electrical contractors, engineers, suppliers, designers and those wishing to have a better understanding of how we use the sun to make electricity should attend this twelve-hour course. This class is an in-depth presentation on the design and installation of photovoltaic systems and the National Electrical Code (2011). This course prepares you to take the next step in energy conservation. Remember, the sun is still free and the cleanest source of renewal energy on the planet.
