Computer networking courses are commonly offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels through certificate and degree programs in computer science and information systems, Computer networking technology, and electronics and Computer technology. Undergraduate programs generally prepare students for entry-level positions in Computer networking careers, and students may be qualified to pursue certification through companies like XPLORE IT CORP Graduate programs focus more on the research and development aspects of the field.
NETWORKING CLASSIFICATION AND AREA NETWORKS
Computer networks can be categorized in several different ways. One approach defines the type of network according to the geographic area it spans. Local area networks (LANs), for example, typically span a single home, school, or small office building, whereas Wide area networks (WANs), reach across cities, states, or even across the world. The Internet is the world's largest public WAN.

| TECHNOLOGY |
Networking technology allows for the exchange of data between large and small information systems used primarily by businesses and Educational institutions. Network technicians, also known as network engineers or specialists, are responsible for the configuration, installation and troubleshooting of the technology used to transmit digital information, including audio, visual and data files.
USES OF COMPUTER NETWORKING
A Computer network is an interconnection of computers, printers, scanners and other hardware devices and software applications. Networks connect users within a defined physical space (such as within an office building). The Internet is a network that connects users from all parts of the world. Educational institutions, government agencies, health care facilities, banking and other financial institutions, and residential applications use Computer networking to send and receive data and share resources.
