Master
of Network Administration and Security (MS)
School of Science

Atlantic International University
The Master of Network Administration and
Security (MS) program objective is help
students to develop the skills necessary
to teach the theory, principles and practice
of system management, including network
and system design, analysis, efficiency
and security. The Master of Network Administration
and Security (MS) program is offered online
via distance learning. After evaluating
both academic record and life experience,
AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty
and Academic Advisors will assist students
in setting up a custom-made program, designed
on an individual basis. This flexibility
to meet student needs is seldom found in
other distance learning programs. Our online
program does not require all students to
take the same subjects/courses, use the
same books, or learning materials. Instead,
the online Master of Network Administration
and Security (MS) curriculum is designed
individually by the student and academic
advisor. It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities
in the student’s major and intended
field of work. Understanding that industry
and geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead of
a standardized one-fits-all design is the
hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.
