I don't think he'll be out installing instructional technology. He'll be doing a lot of technical writing (read writing training materials), using Adobe Captivate to create interactive training aids, and some Power Point. If he's got a knack for teaching then it may not be a bad idea

anyone have any insight into this, or related programs at other institutions?! i have a friend who is looking to make himself more marketable, gain a masters degree and maybe get into this field... im a bit amiss by this, and i think he'd be better served in this market with a CCNA or a Cisco

not sure what you are asking. CCNA is a Cisco certification. Usually people want the next one up, CCNP, but that material is not difficult once you've grasped the CCNA stuff. He might consider looking at Juniper Fast-track instead if he already understands a lot of the what-is-the-OSI-model
