Program Overview

Are you ambitious, willing to take risks and enjoy leading a team? Consider a career in business management. Douglas College’s Bachelor of Business Administration in Management will give you a solid academic foundation in the study of management topics as well as job-ready skills in an industry of your choice.

This four-year bachelor’s degree will teach you essential business skills such as accounting, finance, economics, marketing, writing and critical thinking, and take a deep dive into management topics such as human resources, interpersonal conflict, innovation, change management and ethical decision-making. You'll then narrow the focus of your studies and gain practical industry-relevant skills through in a concentration of your choice. Choose from financial services management, hospitality management, international business management, project management, supply chain management and trades management.

This program is designed so you can start in year one of the BBA, or complete a diploma in one of approved concentrations and transfer into the BBA for year three.

Get certified

Upon graduation, you will have met the Chartered Management Program (CMP) education equivalency (as outlined by the Canadian Institute of Management [CIM]), and will be prepared to write the industry certification exam for your chosen concentration (except hospitality management, as the industry does not have a designation). Industry certifications will make you more attractive to potential employers and increase your chances of getting the job that you want.

Get hired

The projected job market outlook for BC predicts 135,900 job openings in management by 2025, and managers across a variety of industries are labelled as high demand occupations between now and 2027. As a graduate of the BBA in Management program, you will qualify for any position that requires supervisory and management skills. You will also qualify for industry-specific positions related to your chosen concentration.
