The BCIT Business Administration diploma is ideal for students seeking choice and flexibility when it comes to starting or advancing their career. This program is offered for students who wish or need to obtain a Business Administration Diploma (Human Resources) by completing courses on a part-time studies basis. It enables them to pursue lifelong learning while maintaining daytime employment or other activities, by attending evening or weekend classes or studying as an online learner. Students can also take a less intense course workload than the regular, full-time program. This program is a logical next step for students interested in a HR oriented career who have completed a Human Resource Management certificate. Courses students have completed to obtain a certificate that are also included in the program matrix, count toward this program and do not have to be repeated. In this program students will experience BCIT’s unique blend of academic learning and applied skills. Successful students develop a solid understanding of core business concepts including effective hiring and retention practices, developing compensation programs, dealing with workplace conflicts, planning staffing levels, employment law, computer skills, business communications, economics, business math, and accounting practices. Please note: Flexible Credential programs are part-time however enrollment in these programs does not affect PGWP eligibility.
