Degree Programs Offer Best of College and University in One

Obtaining a four-year bachelor degree is an exciting prospect. But what do you do if you want to attend degree programs but find the benefits of college programs appealing? Or, what if degree programs interest you but you are unable to afford the high tuition costs that come with university undertakings? Lastly, what options are available to you if you want both a college experience and a taste of university while attending a degree program? Surprisingly, the answer to all of these questions is available at one place: Centennial College. That's because this institution offers degree programs at college level and degree programs that see students completing a portion of study at one of its four campuses before transitioning to a university campus.

Those who are interested in attending college programs that also give them a taste of the university experience would be best suited for Centennial College's bridging options. Through the college's agreements with various institutions, students can start their college programs on campus and finish them off at the campus of the particular university with which their program is associated. As such, in conjunction with Ryerson University, Centennial College students can participate in a Bachelor of Science Nursing program. Meanwhile, University of Toronto college degree programs include: Applied Microbiology, Environmental Science and Technology, Journalism, New Media Studies and Paramedicine. There is also a Bridging to Software Systems Design offering for students who wish to complete the Software System Design college degree in two years, while keeping a full-time job if they have a diploma in software and are working in the field.

On the other hand, students may opt for degree programs that see them studying for four years at Centennial College's Progress Campus. The first of these two degree programs is Computer and Communication Networks.

It sees students covering a unique blend of technology and business subjects that balance practical and theoretical aspects. As such, students work from state-of-the-art laboratories that are specially engineered for the curriculum. The labs also include uniquely equipped facilities offering VoIP, cellular networks, wireless broadband (WiMax), advanced routing and switching as well as network management. This college degree program boasts a co-op work term during summer between second and third year.

The second of these degree programs at Centennial College is called Software Systems Design. It emphasizes system design, a blend of technology and business subjects while also providing specialization in mobile application development or service-oriented architecture and cloud computing. It also covers advanced software standards and management. To complement their in-school training, students of this degree program partake in three software development projects. These real-world business applications require students to utilize all the technical, systems and business skills acquired during their studies.
