The Technical Systems Analysis one-year post-grad co-op program will provide you with the skills needed to be an IT professional to interface with organizational areas to gather their business data requirements and translate them into functional systems design specifications that can be successfully implemented by IT teams.

- application software development;
- business data analysis and modeling;
- customer engagement/communications management;
