The Business Administration Certificate teaches you the basics of business and helps you build practical skills in accounting, management, organizational behaviour, and marketing. With this training, you can use your knowledge in many different industries.
Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles in accounting, office administration, retail, marketing, and sales.
This one-year (two-term) certificate typically includes five courses per term, though you can maintain full-time status with at least three courses. Taking fewer than five courses per term will extend your program completion time.
