There are many advantages to taking degree programs at college level, including small class sizes and a focus on practical knowledge.

1. Degree Programs at College Level Offer Multiple Benefits
Did you know that degree programs aren't just offered at university? Some
post-secondary institutions offer college programs that allow students to
graduate with university-level credentials. Centennial College is one of those
schools, as it offers degree programs that take four years to complete.
Attending a degree program at college level can be advantageous as it still
entails studying via a college model that includes a focus on practical skills and
theoretical background. There are additional benefits to taking this route as
well. For example, college programs are delivered in small classrooms, which
allows for more peer-to-peer interaction and networking with professors.
Thanks to a limited number of students in each class, instructors get to know
their students, which make for a more beneficial learning experience. As
previously mentioned, degree programs at college also offer a hands-on
approach that allows students to gain skills they need before graduating and
entering their chosen field. Centennial's college degrees meet rigorous Ontario
Ministry standards (provincial standards).
Centennial College offers two of its college degree programs in a model that
sees students studying on campus for the entire four years of the undertakings.
The first of these two programs is Software Systems Design, which prepares
students for areas such as software development, software engineering,
systems analysis, business analysis, web application development and more. It
is the only of its kind in the province and has a unique emphasis on system
design, a blend of technology and business subjects as well as industry
placement. The final benefit of this offering is that it includes three software
development projects. These real-world business applications will require
students to utilize all the technical, systems and business skills acquired during
their studies to build higher quality software. Students of this college program
specialize in mobile application development or service oriented architecture
and cloud computing.
The other degree program that is solely based on Centennial College's campus
is Computer and Communication Networks. This offering trains students to
become Project Management Analysts, IT program managers, Technician
Account Managers, Business Account Managers and much more. This is
achieved through a unique blend of technology and business subjects, creating
an innovative balance between the practical and the theoretical backgrounds for
which employers are looking. Students of this college program study out of
Progress Campus, which is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories that are

offering VoIP, cellular networks, wireless broadband (WiMax), advanced routing
and switching as well as network management.
In addition, Centennial College has agreements with Ryerson University and
University of Toronto to offer college degree programs during which students
spend time at both the college and university environment. With Ryerson,
students can participate in a Bachelor of Science Nursing program. Meanwhile,
the college degree programs offered in collaboration with UofT include: Applied
Microbiology, Environmental Science and Technology, Journalism, New Media
Studies and Paramedicine. Lastly, there is a Bridging to Software Systems
Design offering that makes it possible to complete the Software System Design
(SSD) degree in two years, while allowing students to keep a full-time job if
they have a diploma in software and are working in the field.
