Overview

Bachelor of Computer Information Systems Degree

The Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree is a four-year program that includes a broad selection of computing, mathematics, business, and communications courses so graduates can function successfully in various roles in the Information Technology field.

The courses are grouped into required courses (which all students take), courses from one or more options (an option is a collection of courses dealing with a specific area of computing), and elective courses. 

This structure allows students to concentrate on areas of computing (Software Design and Development, Database Systems and General Studies) that interest them while ensuring all graduates have a broad knowledge of computing. 

With further independent study, graduates may earn industrial certification from companies such as Oracle, IBM, Cisco or Microsoft.

The BCIS degree is available as a co-op program. 

Taking co-op work terms may lengthen the program by one year or more.

Students who have completed Okanagan College's Computer Information Systems diploma, the Network and Telecommunications Engineering Technology diploma, or a similar program of studies may enter year three. 

Other students enter year one.
