Linux Schools: List of Schools with Linux Courses and Degree Programs

Published Nov 19, 2009

RSS Feed

The Linux computer operating system is becoming increasingly popular for business and home use, and those with Linux knowledge are in demand. Through Linux courses, students learn how to install, administer, upgrade, network and secure Linux systems. Classes and programs offering instruction in Linux are available at schools like Texas Tech University, Boston University, Miami Dade College and the University of Maryland.

Linux Degree Program Details

Linux Certificate Program

Linux certificate programs offer students in-depth instruction in the Linux computer operating system. Classes in these programs tend to focus specifically on Linux and may include other computer science topics only if they relate to Linux. These programs generally take a few months to complete. Students learn how to install, administer and operate Linux systems and may be prepared to sit for industry certification exams, such as the one leading to the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) designation.

Other Linux Programs

Though colleges and universities are not likely to offer degree programs dedicated specifically to Linux, individual Linux courses can be taken through computer science or information technology (IT) degree programs. These courses, which are available along with courses in other computer science subjects, vary in scope but tend to focus on Linux administration, operation, design or maintenance. Some courses are available in two parts offering in-depth instruction while others cover Linux basics. Linux topics may also be covered in other courses, like network security.
