Hello! So i have a couple questions regarding the Communication, Culture, Information & Technology program.<\/p>\n
First of all is there anyway i can get more information on the program from UTM? I wasn’t able to attend the fall information day and I’ve already looked on the website at the program description, but i would like to know a little more about it if possible. So if there’s a number i can call or an email i can contact that would be great! Or if you know anything about the program please further enlighten me on it! I am aware that within the CCIT program there are a multiple interdisciplinary specialist programs, The one i’m interested in is the IDM (Interactive Design Media). On the UTM website it said that i have to apply after my first year of CCIT and that spaces are limited. So my next question is when applying on the ouac website do i just select IDM or select CCIT and then after my first year reapply to IDM? Also, if i do not get accepted into the IDM program after my first year, what happens? Do i continue on doing CCIT as a major? Im just really confused about the admission process. My last question is does the IDM specialization have coop\/ internship opportunities?<\/p>\n
Sorry about all of these questions! I really hope you can help me out with this because i don’t know where else i can contact for more information about this stuff. Thank you so much!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
i don’t know much about Communication, Culture, Information & Technology, to be honest with you. i would read the brochure<\/a> if you haven’t already. also, it’s always interesting to go on a little google odyssey on the professors that teach in your department of interest<\/a>; their research can tell you a bit about the kinds of things you might be learning.<\/p>\n there’s also this careers by major thing<\/a> which UTM does that i am super jealous of. also take a look at the websites of the student<\/a> groups<\/a> related to CCIT – they’ve got some helpful information on there (also, their websites are beautifully designed. figures). you can even contact the execs of the student groups for advice; i’m sure they’d be more than happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n otherwise, you can always call the ICCIT<\/a> directly.<\/p>\n as for admissions: CCIT is an institute – as in, the ‘Institute of Communication, Culture, Information & Technology<\/a>.’ the institute itself offer a few different programs: the CCIT major, the DEM specialist, or the IDM specialist<\/a>.<\/p>\n you don’t enrol into specific programs until second year at uoft. when you’re applying out of high school, you just pick a stream. see this<\/a>? the green headings are streams, the things listed under each heading are programs. your stream would be CCIT, and that’s what you’d pick on OUAC.<\/p>\n again, that doesn’t make you a CCIT major, just a student in the Institute. you pick your program after first year. comprende<\/a>?<\/p>\n if you’re not accepted into the IDM specialist after first year, then you would enrol in one of your backup programs instead. you need to be in a<\/em> program after first year to continue taking courses.<\/p>\n and i don’t want to hear any of this nonsense about not having backups<\/a>. life is gonna throw you some curveballs, y’know; it’s always a good idea to know what you’re going to do when and if they happen. (however, i do think applying to the CCIT major is a pretty good backup).<\/p>\n you can browse every program offered by UTM here<\/a>.<\/p>\n CCIT is not offered as a co-op program, but there are some 400-level CCIT courses which are either just internships or can incorporate an internship into their structure: take a look at CCT409H5, CCT410H5, CCT411H5 and CCT413H5<\/a>. also, the career centre<\/a>, which is available to all uoft students, provides lots of experiential opportunities across all three campuses. also, there’s this<\/a>. or you can just go door to door and beg to do people’s programming grunt work for free.<\/p>\n and don’t worry that you’re asking too many questions, dude. i’m here all night. i have nobody to go home with and am very lonely, so…yeah. i’m here all night. also they sometimes have free food here.<\/p>\n xoxo,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
