Program overview
A four year degree in business computing, covering systems analysis and design, databases, networks, software development and enterprise information systems, with optional co-op work terms.
Bachelor of Computer Information Systems asks 80 percent against 90 for Computer Science, so it is by some distance the more accessible of the two computing routes while still carrying optional co-op work terms. The difference is emphasis: business systems and applied technology here, theory and software construction there.
Bachelor of Computer Information Systems is taught at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, a public undergraduate university and a designated learning institution. Because Bachelor of Computer Information Systems is a degree it is exempt from the Canadian field of study requirement, so completing Bachelor of Computer Information Systems supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years without the subject being tested against an eligibility list.
