I have...ummm...mixed thoughts about which is better or more useful. I graduated from SAIT (computer programming) and found that many of the skills taught there were better for immediate integration into the workforce. I am also taking University courses (Athabasca), and while the stuff is interesting there is little to no real work place application for some of the stuff.

My brother went through U of C (also computer programming), and he says he learned more practical skills in the first three months of work than he did at school.

A lot of it probably depends on the programming you’re taking.
