The two-year diploma in Business is intended for students looking for a broad, well-integrated business education and the opportunity to study in more than one area of specialization. Built around a strong core of business foundation skills, the Business diplomas appeal to those interested in acquiring specific skills in key business areas such as accounting, marketing, and human resources.
Highlights
On our Kingston campus, the first semester of Business programs is common for Accounting, Marketing, Human Resources, and Business. At the end of the second semester, students will have an opportunity to confirm their program of choice.
Students become effective communicators, trained in problem solving, teamwork and quality management. They are skilled in the use of current computer software applications in word processing, spreadsheets, databases, and presentation graphics. Two years at college will get you started in a challenging career in business.
How would you describe your experience?
"The General Business program is a great platform for you to explore what elements of business you enjoy and where your strengths lie; time that your first year may simply not allow for. I was not ready nor passionate enough about any of the streams to commit another two years and ~$7000 to one.
Since you have the opportunity to choose both Marketing and HR electives, you can tailor your second year to meet your specific interests within those fields and work with students/faculty from all streams, thus increasing your network. What's more, your second year curriculum includes Project Management and Entrepreneurship, two courses that are not found in the other streams but which really help to round out your learning in all areas.
General Business may not have a placement, but that does not mean your options are diminished. If a placement is what you truly value in the three-year programs, there are many fast track or certificate programs which you can pursue following graduation from Gen Bus which contain placements.
When in doubt, speak with the School of Business faculty as they are always willing to help you. I have often gone to them for career and academic advice; when studying Gen Bus, you have all the more faculty in your corner and two awesome program co-coordinators, Wendy and Adam."
