Transfer agreement between COTR and NAIT opens up new pathway
Canada is known as a thriving technology hub with thousands of job openings expected by 2033 across several IT domains. Graduates from College of the Rockies’ new Computer Information Systems Technology diploma can further prepare for these roles, thanks to a block transfer agreement with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT).
Through the new agreement, signed in June 2024, graduates of the College’s Computer Information Systems Technology program applying to the Bachelor of Technology program at NAIT, and who satisfy NAIT’s entrance requirements, will be eligible to complete the credential through a 2+2 program structure (two years at each institution).
“Having access to transfer directly into year three of NAIT’s Bachelor of Technology program is a tremendous opportunity for our students,” said Ranjan Bhattacharya, Dean of Trades and Technology. “NAIT is a highly respected institution, known for its hands-on, technology-based education and applied research. Their degree complements the hands-on nature of our Computer Information Systems Technology diploma.”
