Overview

Diploma in Computer Programming

Computer Programming is a two-year diploma program designed for students who wish to learn the latest skills needed by business application developers in the industry but want to graduate sooner than the three-year Computer Programmer/Analyst program. 

The program at Conestoga emphasizes problem-solving skills using the latest versions of Microsoft, Java and open-source software to develop business and web applications. 

Object-oriented analysis, design, agile methodologies and programming techniques are mastered and applied throughout the program. 

Students learn through a combination of theory and practice, applying their knowledge to hands-on assignments and challenging projects. 

Complementary courses in mathematics, accounting and communications support the core IT courses. 

These skills are then applied to a capstone group project in the last year in which students build a major business application, providing them with experience of the complete application development cycle.
