Put technology to work for business — and for your career.

Businesses rely more than ever before on technology, so computer systems analysts are always in demand. That’s particularly true for graduates of Sheridan’s Computer Systems Technology program: They have a job-placement rate of 100%. Sheridan-trained systems analysts excel in computer programming and systems design, but they stand out in the job market for their deep understanding of how businesses function—and how technology can make them function better.

Career-centred Curriculum

Systems Analyst coursework begins with thorough programming instruction across multiple platforms and environments, from cutting-edge computer systems technology such as .NET, iPhone, and Blackberry to industry standards such as Java and Oracle. You’ll design increasingly complex solutions for processes such as:

• E-commerce
• Tracking inventory
• Scheduling
• Security
• Supply chain systems
• Account management

You’ll work in teams, a critical skill in the workplace. During Year 3 you’ll put everything together in a capstone project, designing a computer system application for a real-world business client. You’ll have professional references and a record of achievement as you enter the work force, along with a complete set of systems analyst skills.
