The Management Specialist and Human Resources Specialist Program (BBA)

The Management and Human Resources Specialist program leads to a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). The programs prepares students to become effective members of organizations. Drawing on a balanced offering of rigorous intellectual frameworks from the social sciences, it covers the nature and working of organizations, and managerial functions. The programs provide students with a good understanding of the major aspects of management and helps them to acquire an integrated set of management skills. The Human Resource Management (HRM) Specialist provides students with a good grounding in the management disciplines and a specialized education in HRM. 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. The information and skills gained through participation in this program will help students to:

  • Strengthen technical and soft skills necessary for workplace success.
  • Increase awareness of marketability on the job market and confidence in abilities
  • Effectively make the transition from school to the workplace
  • 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. Students will need to earn a minimum of at least 46 PSDP skill points over the course of their academic program. Upon completion of this requirement, students can submit an application to the PSDP Advisory Committee for transcript notation consideration. For more information and program details, please visit www.utm.utoronto.ca/management
