BUSG Business (Co-op)
Basics of business
This program will prepare you for a variety of options that will help get started in a rewarding career in business. You will share a common first semester with all the other Business program students and select diploma options once you're sure of the direction you want to take. You can graduate with a two-year diploma in Business, Accounting or Marketing as well as a wide variety of options including Human Resources Management and Information Systems. If you want to develop management and leadership skills, you have the option of studying for an additional year and graduating with a three-year Business Administration Diploma.
What's Special
Georgian College has one of the best track records for co-op placements in Ontario and most students find this to be a great way to fast track their career plans. Small class sizes on campus means it won't take you long to make friends in the program and you'll be pleased at how quickly the teachers know you as person, not a number. Computer labs at Georgian are limited to 30 stations which means you'll find it much easier to get personal attention if you need it in class. Faculty in the program maintain an open door policy and you'll find it easy to approach them to talk about anything.
