Overview
School of Business
MacEwan.ca/Management
The Business Management diploma is a comprehensive general business program that prepares students to take on any business challenge. Using more than traditional books and theory, this program teaches through lectures, individual and group case-studies and real-world examples.
To help develop and demonstrate the potential of our students to become managers, administrators, entrepreneurs and leaders, we emphasize the integration of soft skills such as professionalism, interpersonal relations, teamwork and communications with quantitative and strategic decision-making abilities.
Students choose from the following:
- Business Management certificate
- Business Management diploma
- Aviation Management major
- Insurance and Risk Management major
With the exception of Insurance and Risk Management, these programs require that students carry and use a laptop computer for most classes.
MacEwan University recognizes that every student has unique demands on their time, so we offer a range of scheduling choices. The Business Management certificate and diploma are available on a full-time or part-time basis as follows:
- Traditional school year: September through April over two years.
- Flexible route: complete classes over a longer period of time. This option offers courses year round that may be taken on a full- or part-time basis. Begin in September.
Career Potential
The Business Management program appeals to people who want to pursue a career in business and/or management and want a balance of theory and practical experience. The program is ideal for a wide range of possible careers in business including starting your own business, sales, marketing, hospitality management and financial services. It is also well suited to those wanting to pursue further post-secondary studies, either immediately upon graduation or at some point in the future.
Graduates of this diploma are eligible for the Certified in Management designation with the Canadian Institute of Management. Visit www.cim.ca for more information regarding membership and designation.
