School of Information Technology

Information technology has evolved at an incredible pace and changed everything from business to gaming. Living in a digital world creates endless opportunities for those who embrace technology. As New Brunswick’s largest IT school, we provide a wide variety of paths from network administration and data analytics to cybersecurity and game development. Here, you’re not pressured into a specific area; you’re free to explore in an interdisciplinary environment and decide your own path.

We teach what’s new, and what’s now, integrating the latest tools and putting students at the forefront of emerging technologies such as AI. And we do it in a dynamic environment with small classes. Plus, in addition to classroom time, you’ll learn hands-on through project work and industry work placements. That means you graduate with practical experience, not just a diploma. The School of Information Technology gives students the specialized skills to be tomorrow’s digital game changers. 

The curriculum at a School of Information Technology integrates practical experience through a variety of hands-on learning opportunities and real-world applications. Students engage in laboratory exercises, simulations, and project-based learning that mirror actual industry scenarios. For instance, in Network Administration, students might set up and manage virtual networks, troubleshoot issues, and ensure network security in a controlled environment. Business Analysis courses often include case studies and role-playing exercises where students act as consultants to solve business problems.

Additionally, internships and cooperative education programs are integral parts of the curriculum, allowing students to gain valuable work experience and apply their classroom knowledge in professional settings. Many programs also incorporate capstone projects, where students collaborate on comprehensive projects that address real-world challenges, often in partnership with local businesses or organizations. This blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application ensures that graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the IT industry.
