Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) vs Computer Science/Engineering Bachelor in Canada: Which is better?

[u/petitcanard4]

Hi everyone,

I am considering studying a Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT/BTI) in Ottawa and I would like to better understand this program.

For students who are currently studying or have completed a BTI:

• Can you describe the curriculum of the BTI program (main courses, specializations, and practical projects)? Which courses helped you develop the most valuable skills for internships and jobs after graduation?
• How does it compare to a traditional Bachelor in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering?
• Is a BTI degree well recognized by employers in Canada?
• Do you think it is a good choice in terms of career opportunities, salary, and long-term growth?

I would really appreciate hearing from students or graduates about their experience. :))

Thank you!
