The UNIX operating system was developed in the mid-1970s when minicomputers and mainframe computers were the norm in the corporate world. It has since become a very popular operating system and can run on computers ranging from PCs to mainframes. Today, many computer users and programmers work in the UNIX or UNIX-like environments to run offices or develop software. UNIX machines are also used widely as Web severs in the Internet world and routers in computer networks. The result is that the demand for UNIX programmers and system administrators is growing quickly.
After completing this program, students have the technical knowledge, skills, and experience to increase productivity and competitiveness in their jobs. In addition, the program offers a low-cost preparation for students who want to take the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam.
