Information & Communication Technology

Every day we hear about major companies or retailers getting “hacked.” Now you can be part of the solution by learning to protect computers, networks, programs, and data by enrolling in the Applications or Infrastructure Security Programs and join the rapidly growing field of Cybersecurity. The programs, created by Silicon Valley security experts, give you the option of working in software (Applications) or hardware (Infrastructure). Classes are taught by industry professionals and Merritt faculty in a hybrid combination of classroom instruction and virtual lab assign- ments. The programs are designed to be completed in two years with students earning a degree or certificate and the knowledge to pass national certification tests. The program includes secu- rity internships at workplaces throughout the Bay Area to give you hands-on experience for your first job.
