Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is an online university offering quality education worldwide.
Cisco Networking Academy is a global skills-to-jobs education program that supports learners, educators, and institutions with technology-focused curriculum and learning tools.
For ACLAS, this Academy relationship creates a credible pathway to connect liberal arts, business, and computer science learners with applied digital skills that employers recognize: network fundamentals, cybersecurity awareness, Python and programming foundations, AI and data concepts, and digital transformation.
The goal is not to replace ACLAS academic programs. The goal is to add a high-value technical layer that can support career preparation, co-curricular learning, workshops, and selected NetAcad class offerings.
A Cisco NetAcad Academy relationship helps ACLAS present technology learning as a structured, career-oriented extension of the student experience.
Students can be guided toward practical skills in cybersecurity, networking, IT support, programming, AI, data, and digital literacy.
Career PreparationNetAcad courses are Cisco-provided learning resources, allowing ACLAS to offer recognized technical content without building every module from scratch.
Structured LearningWhere available through NetAcad, eligible learners may earn Cisco-issued course completion recognition or digital badges tied to their learning.
RecognitionAs ACLAS develops instructor capacity, selected NetAcad courses may be offered in guided cohorts, workshops, or academy-supported class formats.
Teaching ModelThe partnership helps ACLAS communicate a stronger technology-career story to students interested in applied, job-aligned skills.
