A Network Systems Administration Program for Kentucky

列克星敦社区学院与肯塔基州大学社区学院系统的其他学院合作，领导该项目，以开发网络系统管理应用科学（AAS）学位副学士。该组织还与肯塔基州的高中、地区大学、企业和行业以及全国各地正在开发的其他电信和网络系统学位课程合作。该项目现代化和升级的程度所需的核心科学和数学课程。它开发的学位特定课程从（1）在科学，数学，工程技术和计算机信息系统的现有课程，（2）新课程，（3）工程技术和计算机信息系统课程的混合组合。特定于该计划的课程是模块化的，以确保灵活性和易于修改，以保持货币。该计划针对传统和非传统学生，针对代表性不足的群体的学生，并从学生技术领导力计划和技术准备计划中招募学生。它结合了传统的教学系统和通过互联网和互动视频进行的远程学习，还包括学生实习和与当地企业和行业的合作。该方案将在全州范围内提供，并在全国范围内传播。

Lexington Community College in collaboration with other colleges in the University of Kentucky Community College System leads this project to develop an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Network Systems Administration. The group is also collaborating with high schools, regional universities, businesses and industries in Kentucky, and other telecommunications and network systems degree programs being developed around the country. The project modernizes and upgrades the core science and mathematics courses required for the degree. It develops the degree-specific courses from a combination of (1) existing courses in science, mathematics, engineering technology and computer information systems, (2) new courses, and (3) hybrids of engineering technology and computer information system courses. The courses specific to the program are modularized to ensure flexibility and ease of revision to maintain currency. The program targets both traditional and nontraditional students, targets students from underrepresented groups, and recruits students from the Student Technology Leadership Program and Tech Prep programs. It uses a combination of traditional delivery systems and distance learning via the Internet and interactive video, and it includes student internships and co-ops with local businesses and industries. The program is to be offered statewide and disseminated nationwide.
