With the General Business Major, you’ll build a strong understanding of a wide range of business concepts while keeping your future options open.

If you plan to continue your education, connect with an Academic Advisor to explore transfer opportunities with Bow Valley College’s many partner institutions.

Time Commitment

‍This is a two-year (four-term) diploma. A standard course load is five courses per term, though you can maintain full-time status with at least three. Taking fewer than five per term will extend your program completion time.

Core courses are offered both in class and online. For your major, you’ll select nine courses from any of the Business Administration majors, giving you the flexibility to customize your studies.
