Welcome

Theo Chaisson, Dean of Information Technology

Welcome to the School of Information Technology. We offer diplomas in three areas, including Internet Application Developer, Programmer/Analyst, and Computer Support Specialist.

The Internet Application Developer diploma program is a comprehensive training program including introductory courses for those who do not have any computer background. It places emphasis on programming, Internet development, systems analysis and design, and development of database management systems.

The Programmer/Analyst diploma program provides a foundation in computer technologies and introduces students to the world of computers in business. The program places emphasis on systems analysis and design, programming languages and database programming and management.

The Computer Support Specialist program trains students to design, install, and maintain personal and corporate computers and computer networks and systems. It gives students a strong knowledge base of local and wide area networking, Internet/Intranet connectivity, network administration and the ability to function effectively with many new technologies.

Across all of our diploma programs, students receive hands-on experience using the latest computer and Internet technologies. An emphasis is placed on soft skills and working in a team environment. All students complete a work term as part of their studies, providing real world experience and allowing them to apply what they have learned in the labs and the classroom.

Our diploma programs are accredited by the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS), which is an internationally recognized accrediting body for information technology programs.

Here at the School of Information Technology, we deliver the skills needed to keep pace with technology as it continues to evolve and impact every facet of our daily lives - we prepare students for the jobs of the future!
