Overview

Computer Information Systems Diploma

The Computer Information Systems diploma is a two-year program that includes a broad selection of computing, mathematics, business, and communications courses so graduates can function successfully in various roles in a business organization, high-technology company, or government department. 

These roles include entry-level positions as a computer programmer, programmer/analyst, business systems designer/developer/analyst, web designer/developer and database architect/administrator.

The courses in the diploma are grouped into required courses and elective courses.

This program at Okanagan College is available as a co-op program. 

If possible, the department recommends participating in co-op between the third and fourth academic semesters. 

Taking co-op work terms will lengthen the program to approximately three years.

Graduates of this program may proceed directly to the Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree or, after completing some extra courses, to a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
