Bacharel em Tecnologia da Informação

The world of information technology is always evolving. What is now commonplace was once a breakthrough. As a student in one of the Bachelor of Information Technology programs, you will acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to address the IT issues of today and the possibilities of tomorrow.

The Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) offers four distinct programs:

1. Information Resource Management (IRM)
2. Interactive Multimedia and Design (IMD)
3. Network Technology (NET)
4. Optical Systems and Sensors (OSS)

These programs are offered jointly by Carleton’s School of Information Technology and Algonquin College. You will graduate with a Bachelor of Information Technology degree from Carleton University and one of a Library and Information Technician diploma (for IRM students), an Advanced Diploma of Applied Arts (for IMD students), an Advanced Diploma in Technology (for NET students) or an Advanced Diploma in Photonics and Laser Technology (for OSS students) from Algonquin College.
