Program description
This program takes an experiential learning approach to education, including classes that mimic modern software development processes. Throughout the curriculum, Computer Programming and Analysis (CPA) students apply classroom topics to solve programming issues. They learn to collaborate in project teams to design, create, and test larger-scale applications. Students participating in our third-year work placement program acquire real-world work experience after learning programming and problem-solving abilities.
The CPA curriculum is a three-year program in which students learn basic programming principles, problem-solving, software design, critical thinking, and application development. Students will learn to create programs for desktop, online, mobile, and mainframe platforms 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. We are one of only a few universities in North America that provides mainframe courses in COBOL, CICS, JCL, and TSO.
