Here are three reasons why a DC degree may be right for you.
High-quality programs taught by industry professionals
At DC, our degrees are developed collaboratively between expert faculty and Program Advisory Committees made up of subject matter experts. These leaders in their fields help us ensure that students gain the skills and knowledge employers need.
We remain on the cutting-edge of education by providing programs that respond to shifting industry needs. Our Honours Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence (HBAI) was developed in response to the impact of AI on global business processes, and prepares students with the skills, tools and techniques required to design AI solutions. Similarly, we introduced our Honours Bachelor of Construction Management (HBCM) to address the labour shortage in this crucial field and produce graduates who can make an immediate impact on residential and industrial construction projects.
Our faculty members combine top scholastic qualifications with professional experiences and strong ties to their industry.
Variety of pathway options
Whether you’ve just graduated high school or have previous post-secondary experience, our degree programs are open to you.
For example, if you hold a diploma in Child and Youth Care, Behavioural Science Technician, Developmental Services Worker or Social Service Worker, you can leverage your previous learning to pursue your degree in Behavioural Science with advanced entry into the program. In less time and for less money, you can earn a degree and dramatically increase your employment prospects following graduation.
Similar opportunities are available for our Community Mental Health degree, where students with a diploma in Child and Youth Care or Social Service Worker can enter directly into semester four of the program.
Theory and training, all in one program
By combining classroom theory and hands-on training, our degree programs will enhance your practical skills with theoretical knowledge and give you a competitive edge in the job market.
Much like our diploma programs, our degrees offer you the invaluable opportunity to get out from behind your textbooks and put your knowledge to work in the real world via field placements. Artificial Intelligence students can gain experience working in the data analytics or artificial intelligence industry, while Community Mental Health students spend 14 weeks utilizing their studies in a supervised setting.
In the Paralegal program, students spend time at the Access to Justice Hub, where they represent real people in real court cases. By doing so, they see how the skills and knowledge they acquire in class can be applied in the workplace, gaining an incredible amount of practical experience and knowledge.
