The curriculum looks like stuff that would be for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science but they call it Bachelor of Technology in Computer Systems. Would it be less recognized/accepted by employers?
The BT in Computer Systems is probably a lot more like IT than Computer Science, though without having the university's website in front of me, I can't really confirm that.

I think calling the university on the phone is a good idea. No?
Oh, I just realized he was talking about BCIT. Yeah, Pegu, those courses are all IT/networking, if that's the program you're referring to. In fact, I don't see a single computer science course there.
Talked with an admissions officer today. I feel like this is basically a crash course, as the IT program covers six certifications in a year, even with everything else. Understanding most of us here who are IT professionals have probably spent 4-8 years in school, I would like to know if one year is really all I'd need to get everything I'd need for an entry level position in IT.
What part of IT are you going into? If you just want to do tech support, then yes. I got an A+ cert in high school and worked tech support for a few years. If you want to do something fun and challenging, you'll probably need more than that (unless you're brilliant. this is tech, after all).
