Management Certificate
This one-year program is a recent addition to Northern College's Business options. Students will increase their job opportunities or jump start a business career by gaining basic skills in marketing, accounting, computer applications, human resource management and other business-related areas.
Business (two years) and Business Administration (three years)
Should students decide to continue their studies in either the two-year Business Diploma program or the three-year Business Administration Diploma program, they can choose a combination of courses to suit their own interests and needs. They will be able to select courses from the other Business program options offered – Accounting, Marketing, Community Economic and Social Development, or Human Resource Management.
In the business world, solid accounting skills combined with marketing strategy and creativity are in high demand. By selecting a combination of electives from the marketing and accounting areas, students can actually customize a management program to fit their interests and strengths.
January Intake (with sufficient enrolment)
Northern College also accepts Business students in the Winter Semester that starts each January. When students start a Business program in January, they will be required to complete the second semester offered during the summer. They will then begin the second year of a program option in the fall semester after approximately a one-month break. Apply to program code: Timmins (Porcupine Campus) NORT-B005B PC
