ADMISSION REQUIREMENTSApplicants should have a bacca-laureate degree from an accredited institution with a minimum cumula-tive grade point average of 2.8 out of 4.0. Solid educational or employ-ment record in networking, security and systems administration also re-quired. Those whose undergraduate preparation or industrial experience does not satisfy the technical pre-requisites may be required to com-plete prerequisite courses in:

C++ for System Administration

PERL for System Administration

Principles of System Administration

Telecommunications Network ProtocolsAll applicants to the MS degree program are required to meet the English language requirement for graduate study at RIT. Those stu-dents who do not fully meet the requirement may be considered for admission contingent upon their taking English language courses at PUCMM prior to beginning the mas-ters program.

IV. COURSE DESCRIPTIONSResearch MethodsThis seminar introduces students to the MS in Networking, Secu-rity, and System Administration by providing an opportunity to meet the faculty involved in the program

and their fellow students. Students will learn about current areas of research in networking, security, and system admin-istration and the areas of research inter-est of the faculty. To encourage students to begin thinking about their final thesis, students will develop a research proposal that may serve as the basis for their later thesis proposal. Topics include: experi-mental research, correlation, experiment observation, surveys, and case studies. Also included will be document structure, validation, and the process for submission and review to conferences and journals.

Emerging Network TechnologiesThe Internet has experienced profound growing pains in the last several years that have called into question the ad-equacy of some of the underlying tech-nologies upon which it has been based. In response to this there are a substantial number of emerging network technolo-gies that if widely adopted may allow the Internet to continue to grow and devel op. This course is designed to provide students with an overview of several of these emerging network technologies. The course will consist of a combination of lectures, independent labs and simula-tion and modeling exercises.

Network Design and PerformanceThis course will examine the factors that impact the design and performance of computer networks. Students will use simulation tools to design networks based on identified needs, analyze the perfor-mance of these networks, and investigate the impact of design alternatives. Designs for site, campus, and enterprise networks, which combine WAN and LAN technolo-gies will be investigated. Consideration will also be given to the incorporation

and impact of business goals and security needs.

Security Audits of Web Servers and ApplicationsThis course will provide students with an introduction to processes and procedures for performing a technical security audit-ing of web servers and web based appli-cations. Students will not only explore the existing XML/WebServices threats, but also learn to apply appropriate auditing tools to identify new vulnerabilities exist-ing in or stemming from web servers and applications. Students will write and pres-ent their audit reports on web servers and applications’ vulnerabilities.

Advanced Routing ProtocolsManaging complex network environments requires an understanding of the sophisti-cated routing protocols necessary for con-trolling information flow. This course will examine the routing protocols in standard use and their application in typical enter-prise and large internet service provider (ISP) environments. The advantages and disadvantages of each protocol will be in-vestigated. In addition, emerging network-ing technologies and the protocols needed to facilitate their implementation will also be discussed.

Wired and Wireless Network SecurityProviding security in today’s complex net-works is a difficult subject and requires network managers to be well versed in the many aspects comprising network se-curity. In order to accommodate the rapid expansion of networks and the alarming rate in which network security is breached, there is a need for more and better edu-cated people who understand the basics of security in a networked world. This course is designed to provide students with the foundation needed to understand the

problems of network security, perform a risk analysis to ascertain the threats and cost of an attack, and design and imple-ment security strategies to effectively build a defense to minimize the effects of these attacks.

MalwareComputer malware is a computer program with malicious intent. In this course, stu-dents will study the history of computer malware, categorizations of malware such as computer viruses, worms, Trojan hors-es, spyware, etc. Other topics include, but are not limited to, basic structures and functions of malware, malware delivery mechanism, propagation models, anti-malware software, its methods and ap-plications. Students will write an anti-virus program.

Project ManagementThis course is a study in the principles of project management. It focuses on the leadership role of the project manager, roles and responsibilities of the project management team members, and vari-ous tools and techniques for project plan-ning and control. Considerable emphasis is placed on statements of work and work breakdown structures. This material is pre-sented using a combination of lecture/dis-cussion, group exercises, and case studies.

Enterprise SecurityThis course is designed to provide stu-dents with the advanced concepts needed to establish network security strategies to ensure adequate protection for the corpo-rate environment and yet provide acces-sibility for the corporate community.

MS Thesis/CapstoneThis is the capstone experience for the Master of Science in Networking and Sys-tem Administration. Students must submit an accepted proposal in order to enroll.

PresentaciónThe graduate degree in Networking and Systems Administration combines technical knowledge with business and leadership con-cepts and educates students in the practices, methodologies, and techniques used in the management of a modern and secure IT in-frastructure. The focus is on enterprise-level problems and solutions including enterpri-se security, net-working forensics, auditing, network security, network cryptography, net-work design and implementation, and net-work administration.

Curriculum and program scheduleThe graduate program of study consists of 11 courses and a research thesis (48 quar-ter credit hours). Class schedules will cater to working professionals, and intensive seminar classes will be offered in the evening and on weekends. RIT courses require 40 hours of classroom instruction, and will be delivered online, in combination with intensive, face to face classroom sessions offered on site in the Dominican Republic. The face-to-face sessions on the courses taught by RIT faculty will be on campus at PUCMM, and in general, will be Thursday evening, 6 – 10 pm, Friday evening, 6 – 10 pm and all day Saturday, 8 – 5 pm. This schedule may vary by program, with face-to-face classroom instruction compri-sing 12 – 24 hours for each class offered.
