What do you learn in an Enterprise Computing minor program?

An enterprise computing minor equips students with skills in large-scale computing, operating systems, networking, security, databases, and cloud technologies, preparing them for careers in the tech infrastructure of businesses and government agencies. At Marist University, the interdisciplinary Enterprise Computing minor is designed for students who want to build expertise in large-scale computing environments and enterprise technology.

Students begin with foundational coursework in programming, software development, and enterprise computing systems, then customize their studies through specialized courses such as z/OS Networking, z/OS Security, and z/OS Emerging Technologies, and enterprise system performance and reliability. Hands-on learning is at the center of the Enterprise Computing minor. The Marist-IBM Innovation Incubator provides students access to the IBM z17 mainframe with advanced AI computing capabilities to support research, application development, and experiential learning. 

Apply Your Learning in Our Enterprise Computing Research Lab

The Marist Enterprise Computing Research Lab (ECRL) contains, among other exciting projects, our test environment for Software-Defined Networking (SDN), where our students and faculty research the latest in networking technology. In collaboration with other students and faculty in the Cloud Computing Analytics Center, you can help companies test new networking products, prototype interoperability and compliance solutions, develop new technology, and brainstorm new research opportunities with our customers.
