What kind of coding if any, do you do with a networking job? Also,what would you do with a networking job maybe like CISCO.

Admins at best may do a bit of VB and shell scripting for login scripts ans such, but don't consider them "coders" from the true sense and point of view in terms of programming. Cisco engineers don't code but create config scripts for the device. This is not coding and should not be considered so. If you want to do coding, then you're looking into becoming a developer, not a network engineer.

Its called Dalton State and in their Computer Science degree it says its for Internet, Programming, Networking, Systems Development, Consulting, and Education. I dont know if you haft to pick one or what.

The true definition of Computer Science from my perspective is "programming". Networking falls under the scope of Information Technology and has nothing to do with coding or software development. Realize that you cannot learn everything there is out there, so pick one and specialize in it.
