Overview

Position yourself for a leadership position with the two-year Management Diploma program. In your first year, you’ll develop fundamental business skills and study accounting, economics, marketing and writing. In year two, you’ll take business & management courses in managing business development, operations and human resources.  

Two ways to get a practical education

Earn money and get relevant work experience before you graduate with the optional Co-operative Education Program.

Complete projects in the modern workplace with the  Business Internship Program.

Professional certifications 

The Diploma in Management has been granted equivalency to the Canadian Institute of Management’s Chartered Management Program (CMP), which can be used toward the Certified in Management (C.I.M.) or Chartered Manager (C.Mgr.) professional designations. 

Depending on the management courses you choose, you’ll also be prepared to write industry certification exams in project management, supply chain management or international management. Industry certifications make you stand out to potential employers and increase your chances of getting into the career you want. 

University transfer 

If you’re interested in furthering your education, this program transfers directly into the Bachelor of Business Administration in Management program at Douglas. Your credential may also transfer to business management programs at other post-secondary institutions. Visit the B.C. Transfer Guide and your transfer university’s website regularly to confirm which courses transfer.
