The MCSE Curriculum at WLAC
The MCSE curriculum at WLAC is structured for intermediate and advanced
students. MCSE certification candidates are expected to have at least one year
of computer science course work completed and one year of hands-on experience
using personal computers. In addition, candidates must meet all course
prerequisites (candidates can take the appropriate Microsoft exam in lieu of a
prerequisite) and enroll in MCSE courses in the predefined order.
MCSE courses are regular semester courses. As a result, for most students the
MCSE curriculum requires two academic years or four semesters to complete. MCSE
candidates can start the MCSE track any semester they wish and are not required
to enter any degree or certificate program. It is strongly advisable for high
school students and non-college graduates to pursue an Associate of Arts degree
concurrently.
