Business

The information technology (IT) sector is one of the fastest growing industries in Saskatchewan and around the world, and needs not only skilled computer programmers, but businesspeople who understand both coding and business practice. Leading software project teams, managing relationships with clients, and making strategic decisions about product development are all best undertaken by experts who understand both the potential and limitations of software and the imperatives and processes of business practice.

This degree program focusses on skills primarily in Computer Science with substantial contributions from the Edwards School of Business to provide knowledge and skills in several critical areas: fundamentals of computer programming and practice, the fundamentals of business practice, marketing, and software development principles.

Many options are open to a student with a background in both computer science and commerce. Students could focus on business process and software engineering with an eye towards leadership, students could turn their computer science training on the business and its customers and provide data analytic insights, students could focus on users and clients and their experiences with the products, or any combination of these outcomes.
