Informatics
Informatics is the bridge between technology and business. As an informatics student, you’ll learn how to use cutting-edge technologies and gain the management skills you need to get a high-paying job in businesses, health care, digital media, and more.
You can help businesses run more smoothly and more efficiently with your degree in informatics. You’ll learn how to design, create, and implement systems that fill any business’s needs and requirements with the highest level of professionalism.
Our students are in high demand – about 90 percent of our students receive job offers before graduation and go on to have careers at GE Capital, CGI, Acadian Ambulance, Enquero, Schumacher Group, and more. In fact, there is so much demand for our students that the majority of Informatics majors are working in the field while they complete their degree. We also have internships, practical training for international students, and co-ops.
