Program details
Overview
Computer Science Technology is a technical DEC teaching computer programming, application development, problem solving, cybersecurity basics, database design, cloud computing, networking, game programming, connected-device programming, and technical support, alongside communication and job-preparation skills. The program page lists the languages and platforms used in coursework, including C#, Java, PHP, ASP.NET, SQL Server, MySQL, Azure, AWS, Office 365, Windows Server, Linux, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and mobile development for iOS and Android, presenting the technology stack as aligned with current industry practice. Graduates are described as finding work as software developers or designers, network administrators, webmasters covering programming and e-commerce, and technical support providers across businesses of varying sizes. The page also notes articulation agreements with several universities that give graduates faster paths toward an undergraduate degree, and states that students needing extra prerequisites for university admission can add those courses after discussing plans with an academic advisor. It suits students who enjoy solving technical problems methodically, want broad exposure across programming, networking, and database work rather than a single narrow specialty, and are considering either entering the technology workforce directly after the DEC or continuing on to university study.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a Diplôme d'Études Secondaires including Secondary 5 Language of Instruction, Secondary 5 Second Language, Secondary 4 Mathematics, Secondary 4 Science and Technology (or Applied Science and Technology), and Secondary 4 History and Citizenship Education, or a Secondary School Vocational Diploma with Secondary 5 Language of Instruction, Secondary 5 Second Language and Secondary 4 Mathematics, or education the College deems equivalent. This program (SRAM code 420.B0) additionally requires either Secondary V Mathematics Cultural, Social and Technical Option, or Secondary IV Mathematics Technical & Scientific Option or Science Option. English is John Abbott's language of instruction; the College does not publish a separate IELTS/TOEFL minimum for general admission, and international applicants' academic credentials are instead assessed against their own country of study through SRAM's international admission service. Prerequisites older than five years require Admissions Office contact. Applications go through SRAM by March 1 for a Fall start.

Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the general deadline is 1 March 2027 for Fall 2027 entry and 1 November 2026 for Winter 2027 entry, though only Nursing and a few pre-university programmes admit in Winter.
