In this course, learners explore key tasks needed to become a Linux administrator. They build on foundational Linux skills as they learn to manage security and system access; execute shell scripts; automate repetitive tasks; manage storage devices, logical volumes, and file systems; and install Red Hat Enterprise Linux using scalable methods. Upon successful completion of this course learners will be prepared to take the Red Hat Certified SystemAdministrator (RHCSA) exam.

The student will prepare and present oral and written technical reports. Types of reports may include lab and field reports, proposals, technical letters and memos, technical research reports, and case studies. This course is designed as an advanced communication course for students who have completed at least the prerequisite introductory writing course.

In this class, students will gain an in-depth knowledge of how to install, configure, and manage firewalls for the defense of the enterprise network archeticture. Students will also learn the theory, as well as configuration steps for the security, networking, threat prevention, logging, and reporting features of next-generation firewalls. Upon completion of this course, students can install, configure and update next-generation firewalls.

The CCNA Cybersecurity Operations curriculum provides an introduction to the knowledge and skills needed for a Network Security Specialist working with a Security Operations Center (SOC) team. Students learn core security skills needed for monitoring, detecting, investigating, analyzing and responding to security events, thus protecting systems and organizations from cybersecurity risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Upon completion of this course, students can prepare for the Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (SECOPS) Certification Exam.

In this course, learners explore key command line concepts and enterprise-level tools. They investigate foundational Linux skills and core tasks such as file management; file systems and storage; and the update, install, and configuration of software packages. Learners administer users and groups. Upon successful completion of this course and the second course in this series (Red Hat SystemAdministration II), learners will be prepared to take the Red Hat Certified SystemAdministrator (RHCSA) exam.

This course examines interpersonal relationships of humans and groups and the consequent structure of society. It details the various social processes and concepts which shape human behavior, analyzing such phenomena as organizations, deviance, race and ethnic relations, population, urbanization, social change, and social movements.
