Program details

Overview

This degree builds the skills to move into an information technology management role, combining theory with hands-on learning in equipped labs. Study gives broad knowledge covering support for both single-user and networked systems, alongside business skills aimed at managerial responsibilities. Optional co-op placements and study abroad are available, preparing graduates for a range of roles within IT.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires B.C. secondary school graduation or an equivalent, mature-student status (19 or older), or nine or more university-level credits at a 2.00 cumulative GPA. Mathematics is met by one of Principles of Mathematics 12 at C+, Foundations of Mathematics 12 at B, Pre-calculus 12 at C, MATH 092 and MATH 093 both at C, or MATH 096/MATH 110 at C, and English/Communication is met by the prerequisites for CMNS 125, CMNS 175 or ENGL 105. All entering students are expected to be computer literate, with working knowledge of Windows, internet use, and basic word processing and spreadsheet software. The BCIS Calendar entry states no standardized English-language proficiency test score of its own; as a bachelor's degree it falls under UFV's general Degree/diploma-level English standard (IELTS Academic 6.5/6.0, TOEFL iBT 88/20, PTE Academic 61/60, or Duolingo 110), though international or non-first-language applicants should confirm directly with the School of Computing. Applicants short of the math or English prerequisite may enter through Qualifying Studies.

Application Details

Start Date: Three entry points a year - Fall (September to December), Winter (January to April) and Summer (May to August, run as two sessions of May-June and July-August). UFV's programme list shows this one admitting for all three.

Application Deadline: UFV publishes no closing date of its own for this programme - the Calendar entry points applicants at the institution-wide schedule instead of naming a deadline, so what follows is that schedule. DOMESTIC APPLICANTS: applications open 1 October for the Fall (September) intake, 1 May for the Winter (January) intake and 1 October for the Summer (May) intake. Apply as soon after the opening date as you can: UFV admits many programmes in application-date order, and it records that date only once the application, the fee and every document listed in the programme's Calendar entry have arrived. Grade 12 students may apply from 1 October of their graduating year and must send final grades with proof of graduation by 3 August. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS: this programme accepts international students. UFV International runs its own windows - 1 October to 31 May for Fall, 1 May to 31 October for Winter, 1 October to 1 March for Summer - and confirms acceptances in the order applications arrive, so a programme can close early once it fills. Allow up to six weeks for a decision, and pay the tuition that confirms an offer by 1 May for Fall, 1 October for Winter or 15 February for Summer.
