Unique Programming
Unlike traditional computer science and engineering programs, which focus on developing broad computing skills, ITEC focuses on applications of software and information technologies and how they can be systematically designed and developed to meet critical business and organizational problems.

Demand for IT Skillset
Designing, developing and managing complex information systems are tasks that require both solid knowledge of key information technologies and a deep understanding of people, organizations and businesses. The IT industry is in great demand for professionals who possess this skill combination, which you will master through your studies at York.

Internship and Practicum Opportunities
Through the Technology Internship Program, you have the opportunity to be employed by major organizations within the Greater Toronto Area. You will have the opportunity to advance your professional skills, make connections, and see how theory applies in practice during your internship, the duration of which can be anywhere between three and 12 months.

Flexibility
With three separate honours programs, you can choose to specialize in the highly technical IT courses, focus on a combination of IT and business courses, or combine your IT courses with a wider set of electives. Whatever your goal, the ITEC programs will allow you to expose yourself to the exact mix of technical, methodological and business education that matches your talent and inclinations, allowing you to find your unique position in the IT world as a capable, adaptable and versatile IT professional.
