Program overview

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma - Business Administration at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A two year post-baccalaureate diploma in business administration for graduates of any discipline, covering management, accounting and finance, marketing, operations, strategy and organisational behaviour with applied project work.

The route suits a graduate in an unrelated field who wants Canadian business training without a second full degree. One point governs everything else about the business administration diploma route: it is a non degree credential, so work permit standing is not automatic and is governed by the field of study rules applying to non degree programmes rather than the exemption degrees receive. Apply Study Visa confirms the business administration position in writing before any deposit is paid.

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma - Business Administration is a non degree credential, so post study work standing is not automatic and depends on the field of study rules that apply to non degree programmes rather than the exemption degrees receive.
