BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION - GENERAL DIPLOMA PROGRAM
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the Business Administration Diploma courses will have to be taken on-campus at Algonquin College as not all of the courses are available through Distance Education at this time.
The Business Administration program provides students with the combination of business expertise and employability skills necessary for a rewarding career. In this program of study, students gain a solid foundation in all the business functions as well as the communication, planning, teamwork and analytical skills highly sought after by the business community. Through an active advisory committee of business professionals and close relationships with employers, the program is continuously aligned to meet the current demands of todays' organizations. These relationships provide students with networking opportunities, as well as bringing business people to the classroom to share their experiences.
The core courses explore all functional areas of business. Following the core requirements, students select their major area of study among the highly demanded professions of Accounting, Human Resources, Marketing, and General Business.
The Business Administration Program is available on a part-time and full-time basis online. For full-time admission requirements, please refer to www.algonquincollege.com/distance/program_courses/programs.html
Students in the part-time diploma may transfer into the full-time program and all part-time courses credited are applied to the full-time program.
Students selecting the General Business major are required to complete a minimum of 600 course hours from at least two major areas (Accounting, Human Resources or Marketing), with no more than 300 hours from any one area. Students must consult with their Academic Advisor to select course packages compatible with their educational interests and career aspirations.
To qualify for your diploma on a part-time basis, the program must be completed within 10 years.
To qualify for your diploma on a full-time basis, the program must be completed within 3 years.
