Computer Information Systems

It doesn’t matter if you want to build custom computers from scratch or just learn how to send an email; we’ve got you.

If you’re not as comfortable with computers as you’d like to be, our Introduction to Computers course will help get you up-to-speed.

We can also help experienced professionals upgrade their resumes and get more out of industry-standard software with in-depth classes on Microsoft Word, Access and Excel. Most people who use these programs every day have no idea how powerful they really are. Learning the deeper ins-and-outs can put you ahead of the game.

In our IT Essentials course, you can get ready for entry-level repair, support and upgrade jobs by learning hands-on how to put a computer together, get it running, install an operating system and other software, and then take it all apart, again. Our lab is full of routers, servers and brand-new computers just for that.

You can even learn how to do basic programming and web administration.

Community colleges really emphasize the ‘community’ part in our system’s name. We get the high school graduates and the stay-at-home moms who are wanting to learn English, the recently paroled where education is part of their probation, the students who are transitioning from cash aid to paid employment.
