Program description
The Computer Programming (CP) program takes an immersive learning approach to education, including courses that mirror software development processes utilized in the current world. CP students employ classroom knowledge to solve programming issues throughout the curriculum. They learn to collaborate in project teams to design, create, and test apps.
The CP program is a two-year program in which students learn basic programming principles, problem-solving, software design, critical thinking, and application development. Students will learn to create desktop and online applications during the course of the curriculum. Students learn a variety of programming languages, including C#, C++, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and Java, as well as how to learn other languages. Students who excel in Computer Programming are entitled to continue their studies in the Computer Programming and Analysis program at Kingston Campus, where they will be admitted to the third year of the Advanced Diploma program.
