About the course

The Business Administration - Management (BAM) program is designed for students whose goals include business management, human resource management, self-employment, entrepreneurial ventures, or a variety of different careers. This program helps develop skills as a management generalist, offering maximum flexibility in career choices. Students gain an understanding of the theory and skills needed for the practical applications of modern management techniques used in a variety of corporate, government and non-profit sectors, as well as in small business ventures.NEW: Students may choose to concentrate on one of two program streams: Human Resource or Entrepreneurship. The Human Resource Management stream consists of six specific program options in the final year of the program. Students who achieve a minimum average of 70% (with no course below 65%) in these program options as well as in other mandatory courses will have met the educational requirements and be eligible to write the exams to achieve the CHRP (Certified Human Resource Professional) designation. The Entrepreneurship stream is for students who have a strong interest in entrepreneurship ventures. Students will take specific courses focused on entrepreneurship and small business operations. All graduates of the program regardless of stream will qualify to obtain the C.I.M. (Certified in Management) designation offered by Canadian Institute of Management/Chartered Managers Canada.Students in the BAM program gain exposure to real-life working environments through a variety of innovative structured activities. These may include: research assignments, guest speakers, consulting projects with local industry, mentoring opportunities, plant tours, competitive analyses, business planning, computer simulations, and reflective exercises and role playing.Students who graduate from this program with an overall average of 70% are eligible for entry into Year 3 of the four-year International Business Management degree. Applicants holding the McDonald's Management Development Program designation may apply for credit toward this program. While we do offer the program at both the Doon and Guelph campuses, we kindly remind students that the College may choose to move Year 3 of the program offering in Guelph to the Doon campus if student numbers warrant it.
