College Diploma - Business Management (02251)

Learn about the inner workings of Canada’s dynamic business scene and develop the critical expertise to ignite one's career within it. Humber’s Business Management diploma program gets down to business with a practical, skills-based approach that will help students to begin a journey to achieve their goals and make a difference in organizations.

The curriculum gets students up to speed on the essential aspects of business including marketing, e-commerce, accounting, business writing and communications. Through individual and group assignments in courses taught by experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, students will build their business management knowledge, and gain first-hand insights into current business practices, trends and opportunities. Students will develop the practical skills today's employers demand through experiential learning opportunities including unique courses built around challenging business simulations, and even opportunities to build and participate in managing a real business.

In the first year, students will be introduced to an overview of fundamental business disciplines including the mathematics of finance, PC essentials, marketing, microeconomics, business law, services marketing and the principles of management.

In the second year, the focus includes business computer applications, accounting, e-commerce, human resources administration, operations management, business finance, leadership and entrepreneurship. In Semester 4, students will be assisted in finding a paid or unpaid business work placement where they will practise their skills during an 84-hour assignment. This adds valuable hands-on experience to a student's resumé and provides excellent networking opportunities.
