Abstract: This paper proposes a network infrastructure four-year degree curriculum based on industry/vendor certifications. The author argues that such a curriculum will meet industry standards and needs. And the academic department will have a valid method of assessment. An employer will be provided high caliber entry level candidates. And the college degreed student wins since he/she will be more marketable for entry level technical positions, plus have the potential to be promoted to management level positions.
