General Definitions (Purpose) of OPS Streams
There are two basic diploma programs at Seneca College that utilize the OPS stream:
- CNS (Computer Networking and Technical Support)
- This program places emphasis on practical subjects and "hands-on" training delivered in specialty labs. These dedicated labs are configured for various environments such as Linux, Microsoft Windows, networking, OC hardware, Internet, AS/400, and RS/6000. Through these labs, students have access to stand-alone, clustered and networked PC's along with a host of LAN servers and mid-range computers.
- CTY (Computer System Technology Overview)
- Similar in certain respects to CNS program, but contains 2 additional semesters to allow students to specialize in areas such as: Security, Data Communications, and Network Administration.
