ANLT5100 * |
Visual Analytics
In this course, learners articulate the value of visualization to telling the analytic story to stakeholders. Learners explore the appropriate presentation of types of data and apply best practices for the design of effective visualizations. Learners also develop skills for presenting data to stakeholders in a succinct and relevant manner. Prerequisite(s): ANLT5030. |
4 quarter credits |
IAS5015 * |
Network Security Fundamentals and Cryptography
Learners apply foundational concepts of cybersecurity and information assurance to select appropriate information security policies, procedures, and controls to defend enterprise information assets from breaches of confidentiality and integrity. Learners identify specific points of vulnerability that may be mitigated through the use of administrative security policies and operational information security tools. Learners also examine principles of cryptography and some of the security controls and methods that use it. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or concurrent registration in IAS5010 or PM5018. |
4 quarter credits |
IAS5230 |
Secure Network Design and Engineering
Learners investigate abstract data types and how to address them in solving cyber security problems related to network design and engineering. Learners also analyze security requirements while designing network operational systems in order to gain approvals in recognition and compliance with organizational governance and processes. Finally, learners articulate how virtualization and network architecture is implemented, deployed, and used, and describe the implications that interfaces between major components of virtualized systems have for security. |
4 quarter credits |
ITEC5030 * |
Emerging Technologies
In this course, learners gain an understanding of new and disruptive technologies that are poised to have a significant impact on individuals, industry, technology, and society. Learners explore strategies for identifying and researching emerging technologies to determine their value-added application to the organization and examine models that help predict technology growth and proliferation. Prerequisite(s): ITEC5010. |
4 quarter credits |
ITEC5060 * |
Cloud Application Deployment and Operations
This course strengthens a learner’s understanding of cloud computing concepts, including hybrid cloud deployment models, compound design patterns, and architectures that involve both on-premise and cloud environments. Learners place an emphasis on cloud security and the mechanisms and controls to prevent and respond to threats and attacks. Additionally, learners examine the migration of current applications and data storage infrastructure to the cloud, as well as the identification and provisioning of required cloud services to support cloud-based applications. Finally, learners employ a hands-on experience to explore and demonstrate configuration, automation, and monitoring of cloud applications and services, and their on-going operational support. Prerequisite(s): ITEC5050. |

²See the Capella University Catalog for the full course description for your course.
If you plan to take more than three courses, consider pursuing an IT undergraduate or graduate certificate. Some can be obtained with just four or five courses. Or keep the momentum going by pursuing your IT degree in a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral program.³
Your graduate or undergraduate certificate can stand alone to demonstrate your specialized knowledge, but because each certificate is comprised of master's or bachelor's-level courses, you can apply the credits you earn to a degree program in the same area.³
³A maximum of three courses taken as a Capella nondegree student can be applied to a subsequent Capella degree program.
