Compare the wider program directory
The directory covers business, education, health and human services, trades, sciences, technology, tourism and upgrading. Start with the credential and delivery filters, then check campus and intake. Associate Degree, Foundation and Diploma are separate credential filters; open the specific program before comparing requirements and next-step options.
Confirm the CIST example and delivery
CIST is described as a two-year, full-time, 60-credit diploma covering software, programming and hardware skills for computer-systems support. The page labels delivery blended, the intake Fall, and eligibility domestic and international. Consult the linked academic-calendar outline for exact admission and completion rules rather than inferring them from the marketing summary.
Treat transfer rows as conditional
The page lists transfer agreements to Mount Royal University's BCIS, NAIT's Bachelor of Technology and the University of Lethbridge Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Only the NAIT row displays a B-minus minimum note. A listed agreement is a route to investigate, not a personal admission or credit guarantee.
Understand what co-op adds
CIST appears on the College's official co-op-option list. The option adds the one-credit COOP-100 preparation course and the three-credit COOP-150 work term to the student's transcript; those co-op courses do not replace any diploma requirement.
