Bachelor of Science - Computing and Network Communications (Honours) (Co-op)

Program Description

Available intakes: January & September

This Co-op program caters to the increasing demand in the Information Technology industry for professionals who have a solid foundation in software development as well as practical technical skills in system security, telecommunications, network analysis and administration. Normally, this involves attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Sheridan program combines the two in a single integrated package.

The Computing and Network Communications Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Admission to this program is on the basis of marks, a review of personal résumés and employer availability. An interview may be required. Students spend one and one-half years in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of computer programming, algorithms, and data-structures prior to their first work placement. Successful completion of courses in the core areas of Computer Science provides the necessary academic background for the work experience.
