Want to reach the top in a retail career?

Interested in Purchasing and Supply?

Maybe you have ideas to start your own business, or perhaps you want to make the most of a family business.

Whatever your goal, business leadership starts right here at the Seneca College School of Business Management (SBM).

If you are accepted into the program you will start with the basics - you will learn how to build trust, to work ethically.

In your first year, you will learn how to think critically, communicate effectively and understand the basic necessities of running a business. The program will also challenge you to find ways to see the bigger picture - to go beyond the everyday.

By the end of the first two semesters, you will understand what it means to add value with the transferable skills the current business environment demands. You will see how and where you can make your mark.

Depending on your program goals you can complete your General Business Studies (GBS) diploma in two years and get on your way.

You can choose to complete a three year business diploma. Areas include:

• Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management (BAS)
• Retail Management (BAR)
• Management (BAG)
• Purchasing and Supply Management (BAO)

Many business credits are recognized toward fulfilment of many degree and professional association requirements. With a business diploma you can:

• take further education at the post graduate diploma level or complete an applied degree at Seneca or another Community College;
• complete a degree at University. Seneca College has articulation agreements with many universities in Canada and around the world;
• use some of your credits to contribute to professional qualifications. Organizations such as PMAC (Operations Management), CIM (Canadian Institute of Management) and CPSA (Canadian Professional Sales Association) all recognize applicable business program credits at the level of B or better.

CERTIFIED IN MANAGEMENT (CIM)

To earn this professional designation, students are required to complete an eight subject-study program in effective management which includes seven compulsory subject areas and one optional subject area.

Seneca College, in cooperation with the Canadian Institute of Management, offers the opportunity to earn credits toward this professional designation by successfully completing these subjects in any one of the the 6 semester (3 year) business diploma programs.

Established in 1942, the Canadian Institute of Management is a non-profit organization dedicated to the enhancement of managerial skills and professional development. Currently, there are 22 C.I.M. branches coast-to-coast with the National Office in Ontario. Since its inception, the Institute has helped over 50,000 managers to develop a broadly-based education in management skills.

UNIVERSITY TRANSFER

After you complete your business diploma, you can move into the business world to start your career with confidence and knowledge; or you can take your education even further by going on to university.

Seneca has articulation agreements with many outstanding Canadian and international universities. These agreements mean you can apply credits for courses taken at Seneca toward your university degree.

BUSINESS FUNDEMENTALS CERTIFICATE (BFD)

This program is intended for students who wish to develop the skills and knowledge appropriate for an entry-level position in business.
