Diploma in Information Technology - Network Systems

Program Overview

Build a career as an information technology specialist or consultant with this comprehensive program. Prepare for an ever-growing industry through a major in network systems.

Information Technology deals with the generation, storage, retrieval, transmission and protection of information and the hardware and software involved in these processes. For that reason, IT professionals are often called IT specialists/consultants or business process consultants and the division of an organization that deals with computers, software and communication technology are often called the IT department.

The growth of the IT sector in Canada is expected to continue to outpace other market segments in the future according to the Canadian and Alberta governments and independent research companies such as Forrester’s and the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) of Canada.

The Information Technology program encompasses four majors: Computer Systems, Network Systems, Software Development and Telecommunications. The first semester is common to all four majors. It is a full-time, two-year diploma program.
