Put Your DeVry Degree to Work in a Network and Communications Management Career
When you earn your network and communications management degree from DeVry, you'll be equipped for a specialized career in a wide variety of industries. Like the field itself, job tasks and occupational titles evolve quickly, reflecting new areas of specialization and new technologies. Here are a few of the current network and communications management careers you could pursue:
- Data Communications Analyst: If being a detective sounds intriguing, consider pursuing a career as a data communications analyst. You'll analyze problems with systems, including wide area networks, local area networks, Internet and Intranets, and determine and implement solutions using methods such as information engineering, mathematical and data modeling and cost accounting.
- Database Administrators: Using logic, multitasking capabilities and a keen knowledge of networks and wireless technologies, your primary responsibility as a database administrator will be to determine ways to organize and store data. In this role you'll also ensure the performance of a system, add new users to a system, set up new databases and understand the platform on which the database runs. Also, since the volume of sensitive data is growing rapidly, data integrity, backup systems and database security are increasingly important aspects of the job of database administrators.
- Network Security Specialist: With the security of our digital information infrastructure increasingly under siege by hackers, cyber-criminals and online terrorists, network security specialists are in high demand both in the military and in civilian occupations. In a military-focused career, you'll create methods for identifying and protecting information, sensitive operations, material and facilities from such national security threats as compromise, unauthorized disclosure, espionage and sabotage. In a non-military career, you'll be analyzing an organization's security risks and requirements, rating the importance of a company's products and services (and the related design) and implementing and maintaining the security infrastructure to protect the business from any security breaches.
