Are there any university- or college-level computer science programs that cater to professionals in other fields in the Toronto area?

I really don't need to to take more General Education requirements, I have two degrees. Web application development, mobile app and desktop application development are what I'm interested in. I'm pretty flexible, but I want to avoid for-profit colleges unless they're exceptional in some way.

Not sure if you're specifically looking for programs at colleges & universities, but over the last two years, smaller, more agile schools have surfaced for teaching web / mobile app development. Either in the format of bootcamps (similar to DevBootcamp in SF) or part-time courses (similar to General Assembly in NY), these are great options if you are looking for a program with content that is up-to-the-minute and focused on practical, project-based learning. HackerYou (http://www.hackeryou.com) is a great option in Toronto that caters specifically to professionals working in other fields. I took their Web Development course in Fall/Winter 2012 while being employed full-time. It was exceptional and the only way I could have learnt what I learnt while working a day job. I completed >100 exercises and three projects throughout the course and came out with a working skill set. Courses are part-time and held in a newly renovated subway-accessible location. The student-teacher ratio is low, the culture is fun and the learning is hands-on.
