Ontario College Diploma - Computer Programmer

The Computer Programmer, two-year diploma program offers students the opportunity to study current trends in software development. This intensive, two-year program concludes with a work term for eligible students.

Web technology topics include HTML5, CSS5, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, React, and others to develop user interfaces. Students work with server-side programming languages including Microsoft C#.NET, Python, and Java. In the database components, students perform all aspects of database design and work with SQL/NoSQL on several database management systems (DSMS). Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing solutions to real-world, three-tiered (client, server, database) problems. 

Major coursework is assigned as term projects that span entire terms allowing students to actively engage in the evaluation, design, and implementation of real-world software applications. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. 

In addition, general education, business, math, and communication courses help students expand their organizational, critical thinking, and communication skills. 

The widespread use of computer technology in all industries, from manufacturing, transportation, construction, education, health and financial institutions means that computer programmers are the key people shaping the solutions of today and tomorrow.
