What You Will Learn

If you like being part of decision-making processes, and are interested in organizational culture and interpersonal dynamics, the two-year Business Diploma with a management specialty will appeal to you. Business management is many things - efficient management of people, effective organization of resources, and strategic planning for growth.

You’ll develop knowledge and skills in management, leadership and decision making, interpersonal and organizational behaviour, finance and managerial accounting, international business and e-business, entrepreneurship, and retail strategy development and relationship selling. You will also complete two 1-week work placements in your second year where you'll gain hands-on experience and connections with the local business community. 

Direct transfers into a business degree program may be an option. Please speak with a student adviser for degree program entrance requirements.

Career Opportunities

As a business graduate, you will have the knowledge and practical skills for a wide variety of career options in administrative and supervisory jobs in public and privately owned enterprises, crown corporations and government organizations. You also may run your own business or pursue additional training for a career in management.

Earning Potential

In 2022, the wage for Professional occupations in business management or consulting was $21.54-$57.69/hour, and for business services managers  in Saskatchewan was $25.00-$59.62/hour, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Immigration and Career Training. Employees may earn more or less depending on their employer, location, size of company, training, experience and hours worked.

When students graduate, they will have met the educational requirements for the Certified in Management (CIM) professional designation; after two years of managerial or supervisory work experience, individuals are eligible to apply for the right to put the highly regarded “CIM” after their name.

Scholarship Eligible

Apply as a full-time student before April 30 and you will be automatically considered for a $500–$5,000 Entrance Scholarship.
