Program details
Overview
This applied bachelor's degree prepares students to design, develop, and maintain software applications and systems, combining computer science theory with hands-on technical training. The three-year, six-semester program introduces programming languages, algorithms, data structures, object-oriented programming, operating systems, and information and cybersecurity fundamentals alongside web design and development. In the later semesters, students select a concentration in either Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning or Mobile Application Development, deepening their skills in one of these specialized areas. The program concludes with an applied work term in the sixth semester, giving students a period of workplace experience before graduation. It is delivered at Canadore College's Commerce Court Campus in North Bay. The curriculum is aimed at students who want a technical, project-based route into software careers rather than a purely theoretical computer science degree, and it emphasizes practical coding ability alongside conceptual grounding in software engineering. Graduates are positioned for roles such as programmer/analyst, software developer, web or mobile application developer, DevOps engineer, information security analyst, or game developer, reflecting the breadth of the concentrations and core curriculum.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through OntarioColleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027; Canadore states applicants may apply at any time, with the deposit for accepted Winter 2027 offers due 16 November 2026 and term tuition due 30 November 2026. Canadore's own how-to-apply page separately cites a generic, undated "applications open November 1 / competitive consideration date February 1 for Fall term, October 1 for Winter term" notice that names no specific cycle year, so its October 1 figure is not confirmed as the Winter 2027 deadline. International applicants apply through Canadore's international portal and are assessed on a rolling basis, with programs closing early once capacity is reached; no fixed international opening or closing date is published, and payment deadlines appear only on the individual letter of admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
