Technology is changing the way we communicate and conduct business as we move toward a wireless world. Antenna Systems, cellular technology, Global Positioning Systems, personal communication devices and wireless LAN’s are just some of the technologies being studied at the University of Guelph-Humber in the Computing Co-op program. Our classes include extensive use of the most modern labs and equipment available today and the curriculum offers teaching in computer programming and engineering skills as well as telecommunication technologies. In keeping with our hands-on approach to learning, all students in the Computing program participate in two paid workplace co-op placements which provide excellent industry experience.

Students are required to complete 20.25 credits in order to be eligible for graduation. This includes 16.25 core credits, 3.50 specialization courses and 1.00 credits from general elective options. Students must complete these requirements in order to be eligible to graduate with both the university honours degree (awarded by the University of Guelph) and the college diploma (awarded by Humber). No option exists to graduate with only one of the above listed credentials as the program is fully integrated.
