College adds two new computer programmes
of Hotel & Business Administration, the Bermuda College said yesterday.
The programmes are: Associate in Arts (Computer Information Systems) which is designed for students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems.
Associate in Computer Information Systems which is for students looking to enter the workforce upon graduation. The programme includes a summer internship. Courses in this programme can be used as transfer credits to a four year programme.
Both programmes can be completed in two years, if done full-time. They can also be completed part-time. Scholarships are available for both.
"Over the past year, the faculty has conducted an extensive review of its computer information systems courses,'' Bermuda College said.
The 1995 Manpower Survey showed that 59 percent of the Island's computer analysts are non-Bermudian, or, 153 out of 259 positions were filled by guest workers, Bermuda College said.
The faculty's computer information systems courses were reviewed by a computer information systems advisory board which included members of the local computer industry and faculty members.
