Computer Science Program Options

Networking | Programming | Graphic/Web Design | CISCO

The Computer Information Systems department at Lake Area Technical Institute offers four program specialties: Networking, Programming, Graphic & Web Design, and Cisco/Networking.  There is also a Cisco Fast-Track program.  All students follow nearly identical curriculum during the first year.  This gives the student a chance to determine their interest in a particular program prior to making a decision.  Check out each of the program areas to view the curriculum. Each course listed is linked to the course syllabus for that course.

Students attend classes during the summer session between the two years they are enrolled in the program.  In the fall of the second year, students make a decision as to their specialty.  During the second year, the students take several courses directed towards their program.  

We pride ourselves in giving the students hands-on opportunities during the learning process.  We also have up-to-date equipment for the students to work on.

Even though our program is very structured, we allow for students to start the program at the second semester which is in January. This allows those who may need to begin their education in the middle of the school the opportunity to get an early start.
