Bachelor Programs Offered at Centennial College Result in
Respected Degrees
Post-secondary programs offer different credentials that are determined by the amount of
time a student spends in a particular program. For example, the majority of college
offerings last two or three years and result in a college diploma or an advanced college
diploma, respectively. Meanwhile, university programs typically last four years and students
are awarded with a Bachelor degree. Today, however, colleges are beginning to offer
students degree undertakings that are typically reserved for university institutions.
While these degree programs take four years to complete, they offer a uniquely college
experience. What does this mean? Firstly, because class sizes are smaller than those offered
at university level, the four-year programs aren't just academically based. They also feature
interactive features such as presentations, projects and classroom discussions that would
not be possible in traditional university lecture of, for example, 500 people. Secondly, the
small class sizes also allow students to interact regularly with their instructors. As such,
instructors get to know students past their student number and submitted assignments.
Students benefit by having real conversations about their future goals that instructors can
help them to achieve through networking with professionals and other means. Thirdly,
attending a bachelor program at college level saves students money, as tuition is notoriously
less expensive than that of university offerings.
Centennial College in Toronto is one of the post-secondary institutions now offering
degree programs. It currently facilitates four such undertakings, three in the School of
Engineering, Technology and Applied Science and the other in the School of
Communication, Media and Design.
In the School of Engineering Technology and Design, students can attend Bachelor of
Applied Information Sciences - Computer and Communication Networks, Bachelor of
Applied Information Sciences - Software Systems Design, and Bachelor of Applied
Information Sciences - Bridging to Software Systems Design. The latter two are essentially
the same offering, which boasts a unique focus on system design, a blend of technology and
business subjects as well as industry placement. It also provides specialization in mobile
application development or service-oriented architecture and cloud computing. The
program places emphasis on advanced software standards and management. However, the
Bridging option allows computer program/analyst graduates or software engineering
graduates from Centennial or from a similar program from another college to join the
program in the fifth semester. As such, these students may be eligible to obtain this four-
year Bachelor of Applied Information Sciences in Software System Design (SSD) in two
years.

The final Bachelor program offering at Centennial College is Public Relations Management.
Through theoretical and applied learning in and out of the classroom, including completion
of real world projects, it teaches students public relations, corporate communications and
social media as a tool for managing both. To balance their training, students attend ten core
business courses offered in partnership with Centennial's School of Business.
