BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION - HUMAN RESOURCES  DIPLOMA PROGRAM (part-time DE)

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 business expertise and employable skills required for a rewarding career. In the six levels of study, students gain a solid foundation in all of the business functions, as well as the communication, planning, teamwork, and analytical skills that are in high demand by the business community. Through an active advisory committee of business professionals and close relationships with employers, the program is continuously updated to meet the current demands of today's organizations. These relationships provide students with networking opportunities, as well as bringing business people into the classroom to share their experiences.


In the first three levels, students learn the fundamentals of business. In the final three levels, students select their major area of study from the following Majors: Accounting, General Business, Human Resources, and Marketing.

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.

The curriculum provides a solid foundation in all of the technical areas of human resources management including: human resources planning; recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits design and administration; training and development; labour relations; occupational health and safety; employee and organizational research; employee relations; the procurement, implementation, and maintenance of information systems, and the relevant human resources and organizational management legislation.
