College Diploma - Business Management

The Business Management diploma at Lakeshore is a two-year general business credential covering the full commercial core.

Coursework runs financial and managerial accounting, microeconomics and macroeconomics, business mathematics and statistics, marketing principles, organisational behaviour, human resource fundamentals, business law, operations and supply chain basics, business communication, and information systems for business, closing with a capstone in which teams work a live business problem through analysis to a defended recommendation.

The diploma ladders into Humber’s Bachelor of Commerce degrees with block transfer credit, which is the route worth asking about at application stage. Note this program also runs at the North campus — confirm which site your intake is at before arranging housing, since the two campuses are about 45 minutes apart by transit.

The work placement is a graded part of the program, so you finish with documented Canadian experience and a referee rather than only a transcript.

Humber Polytechnic — formerly Humber College — is Ontario’s largest public college and a Designated Learning Institution (DLI O19376943122). The Lakeshore campus sits on the shore of Lake Ontario in south Etobicoke, next to Colonel Samuel Smith Park, and is home to Humber’s business degrees, media and creative arts, and social and community services programs. Heritage buildings, a residence opened in 2024 and a free shuttle to the North campus make it the most distinctive of Humber’s sites.

Its field maps to CIP 52.0201 (Business administration and management). Important: this is a college credential rather than a degree, so it is not exempt from the November 2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction — eligibility depends on this CIP field appearing on IRCC’s eligible list when you apply. Humber publishes a PGWP-eligible program list with CIP codes; check it, and confirm with an Apply Study Visa counsellor before committing. IRCC makes the final decision.
