De College has fulfilled the
requirements of the Canadian
Information Processing Society’s
(CIPS) college accreditation program.

CIPS has accredited the
College’s two-year Computer Infor-
mation Systems Diploma Program
for a five year period.

CIPS is the leading Computer
Science professional association in
Canada with approximately 5,000
members across the country. CIPS
two- and three-year college program
accreditation council is actively in-
volved in the performance evalua-
tion of computer information
technology programs at Canadian
community colleges.

"Accreditation by the Society
will result in national acceptance
and recognition of our program by
the leading professionals in this
field," says John Blackwell, of

Douglas College’s Computer Infor-
mation Systems program.

Blackwell says the College is the
first post-secondary institution in
Canada to be fully accredited by
CIPS.

The Society has established
three main criteria for accreditation:

1) Technical and computer-based
skills which provide the basic
foundation of any information
systems function;

2) Communications skills which
provide the ability to interact in
writing and orally with
individuals at all levels within
an organization;

3) Business skills which provide an
appreciation of the
environmental structure in
which systems are developed
and implemented. @
