Overview

Diploma - Computing Science and Information Systems

Get ready for a career in the booming IT sector. 

The Computing Studies and Information Systems program at Douglas College offers courses in system and networking concepts, programming languages and business courses, giving you a well-rounded set of skills that can apply to various careers. 

Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program, which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field.

You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. 

To participate in Co-op, you need to plan two semesters in advance, so contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program is strongly recommended.

If you want to pursue a degree, Douglas' academic advisors can help you choose the correct combination of courses that will transfer into programs offered by other post-secondary institutions.
