The Management Specialist and Human Resources Specialist Program (BBA)

It will allow students to complete the prerequisites for the CHRP designation.

The Management Major Program (HBA/HBSc)

The Management Major program leads to either an Honours BA or an Honours BSc degree, depending on your second discipline. For example, Chemistry and Management will prepare you for a career in the chemical industry; English and Management for publishing, Psychology and Management or Sociology and Management for a wide range of careers in business or commerce, etc.

Management is a deregulated fees program and, therefore, tuition fees for students enrolled in this program are higher than for other regulated fee programs. Fees are charged on a program and not a per course basis. See the Student Accounts website for more information on fee structures.

Professional Skills Development Program (PSDP)

The Professional Skills Development Program (PSDP) has been created exclusively for Commerce and BBA/Management students as a way to encourage skill development beginning in the second year through to final year.

• Manage their career by navigating through the working world more effectively

By participating in the program, students will be officially recognized and rewarded for their co-curricular activities through a transcript notation.
