A study of computer hardware and network components and devices. The course explores,
synergizes and focuses on underlying foundational topics relating to both computer
architecture and data communications. Topics include communication media, encoding
systems, data security and integrity, network topologies, data representation, binary
arithmetic and numbering systems for computers and network systems, basic structure of
computers, machine language, logic circuits, processing unit, memory systems, and
input/output organization. This course’s credit hours do not count towards the MSACS degree’s
36 hour requirement.

III.
Justification
The program originally offered a single course covering both computer architecture and
network architecture. We have students needing to take either computer architecture or
network architecture and therefore, by separating the two subjects into two separate
courses, it will provide the program more flexibility in meeting student course needs.
NOTE: This course will be an Online WebLearner course priced at the regular tuition rate
(and NOT priced at the premium tuition rate)
