COURSE CURRICULUM

The Business Administration Certificate program provides a strong foundation in core business principles and practices, preparing students for entry-level roles or further study in the field of business. In the first year, students develop essential skills in financial accounting, business operations, and management through courses such as Financial Accounting Fundamentals, Principles of Business, Principles of Management, and Mathematics of Finance. Complementing these core subjects, students gain an understanding of marketing strategies with Principles of Marketing, as well as the practical use of technology in business through Computer Applications for Business. To broaden their economic perspective, students also complete Principles of Microeconomics, which introduces fundamental economic concepts and their application to business decision-making. In addition to these technical competencies, the program emphasizes effective communication in professional contexts, offering courses in organizational writing or communications, as well as essay writing or academic writing with an option to include Indigenous perspectives. This integrated approach ensures that graduates are equipped not only with quantitative and managerial skills but also with strong written communication abilities, critical thinking, and analytical skills, all of which are essential for navigating modern business environments. The program’s flexible and comprehensive curriculum positions students for success in diverse business roles and provides a pathway for continued education in business administration.
