DESCRIPTION

In partnership with Algoma University, Northern’s Bachelor of Computer Science is a diploma-to-degree program that allows you to graduate with a college diploma, university degree - or both. And to launch a rocksolid IT career - in just about any sector on the planet.

Combining computing theory with a hands-on, project-based approach, you’ll gain a big-picture understanding of the industry and its standards. And you’ll perfect your skills as a programmer, problem-solver and systems analyst - all while exploring the latest methods for improving functionality.

Along the way, you’ll learn to assemble, configure and maintain computers and networks. You’ll master database management, virtualization technology and more. And you’ll also hone the cybersecurity measures that are becoming more critical by the day.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates are able to develop and maintain networks, systems and programs for both business and industry. Graduates can expect to find employment in the following fields/positions:

  • Programmer / Analyst
  • System / Network Administrator
  • Telecommunications
  • Municipalities
  • Boards/organizations
