The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) is not an actual degree per se, but a professional level certification that Cisco uses to measure a candidate's knowledge in routing and switching technologies. The equivalent of a masters for CCNP would be the prestigious CCIE Routing and Switching. For more information, view SearchNetworking.com's networking certification guide.
