To be considered for admission to a Diploma Program in Business Administration, applicants must normally have satisfied the following requirements:
graduation with a grade 12 secondary school diploma with grade 12 English and any grade 12 math
a competitive GPA
in some cases, completion of college level courses in English, math, business and certain electives
Applicants who do not meet a school's stated Business Diploma admission requirements may apply to a one-year Business Foundations certificate program, where offered. Often successful completion of a certificate program means students are eligible for admission to the second year of a Business Diploma program. As well, where offered, a Business Foundations program is recommended for students who require or desire academic upgrading, particularly in mathematics or English, before pursuing a Business Diploma program.
Keep in mind, admissions criteria will vary by college, and indeed, by Diploma program. Students should make sure to check the specific criteria for each college and program.
