Computer Information Systems & Game Design

Program Description

1 Year Program

The Computer Information Systems & Game Design program prepares students for careers and post-secondary education in computer science, software development, and game design through a combination of classroom instruction and project-based learning. Students develop programming, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills while creating games, websites, and software applications. The curriculum emphasizes core programming concepts, coding logic, software design, debugging, game development, website development, and creative project design rather than focusing on a single programming language or platform. Students gain hands-on experience by completing real-world projects that build technical knowledge and a professional portfolio. Performance is evaluated through programming assignments, project completion, technical accuracy, creativity, collaboration, attendance, and employability skills. The program encourages critical thinking, adaptability, and independent learning while preparing students for the rapidly evolving technology industry. Students develop technical expertise, analytical thinking, communication, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving abilities that support success in college and technology careers. Throughout the program, students build a strong foundation for continued education and employment in software development, game design, information technology, computer programming, and related technology fields.
