It had Networking and CISCO in there. Ok, so I already know what you'll be doing. That's exactly that I was enrolled in, I was enrolled in classes to prepare me for the CCNA. CISCO is great.. no joke. Their expectations are VERY high though. I kid you not.
Then you'll be doing what I did, pretty much learning about LANs, WANs, routers, switches, how information travels from one network to another. The most important thing is IP-addressing (classes A, B, C) and subnetting. Subnetting is very difficult (imo), and one wrong move can mean network-failure. But the best thing about this would be network-simulation, I think you'll enjoy this if you like to 'explore' your major a bit. You'll be taking some very minor programming courses as well as hardware courses, but most of your courses = CISCO stuff.
If you're definitely doing that, let me know. I'll help you in any way that I can
EDIT: Just to give you a head's up on my courses up at uni that involves my current major:
-Visual Basic Programming
-Visual Basic Programming II
-Operating Systems Concepts
-Intro Web Dev & E-comm Techn
-Systems Analysis and Design
-Advanced Systems Analysis and Design
-Network Technology & Management (N+)
-Database Management System
-Project Management
And yes, all of these courses relates to my current major (Computer Information Systems), I'll be heading into my 3rd year. So this is what you should be expecting near your 2nd or 3rd year, I suppose.
