General Management

As with all of our Business Management programs, the General Management diploma infuses sustainable business practice knowledge throughout your courses. Sustainability is a priority for many in today’s global business environment.

General Management is a two-year diploma program which opens the door to career opportunities in the field of business, or prepares you to continue directly into Year 3 of the Bachelor of Business Administration in Sustainable Business Practices degree program at College of the Rockies which has additional flexibility of part-time, full-time, face to face, or online learning. This program is also ideal for mid-career professionals looking to diversify their skillset.

This major was developed for students who wish a high degree of flexibility in their course selection. As well as the required Business Management courses, students may select other specialized areas.

Note: Upon successful completion of all Year 1 courses, you can graduate with a Business Management Certificate.
