ICCIT's flagship program, the communication, culture, information and technology (CCIT) major, was first developed in 2000 and the institute has grown to encompass four unique programs: CCIT; digital enterprise management; professional writing and communication; and technology, coding, and society.
History
The Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (CCIT) program was created in 2000 in response to the growing prevalence of technology in most sectors of business and academia. It was one of the University of Toronto Mississauga's joint arts programs with Sheridan College. The institute created a professional experience Certificate in Digital Media, Communication and Technology under former director Rhonda McEwen. The joint program with Sheridan College formally ceased in 2024, with the CCIT program offered solely on the University of Toronto Mississauga campus.
