Notes:
1. Students in a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Management program will likely have met all pre-requisite requirements upon entering this concentration. On the other hand, non-BBA Management students will need to take special note of: (a) required pre-requisites to ensure they are able to register in the required courses and (b) suggested courses, skills and/or competencies. This information can be found on the Douglas College Course Catalogue website.
2. For these CBA Electives, students are recommended to consider courses that will benefit them in their project management career. Specifically, students with professional work experience with projects would benefit from taking BUSN 4640 (Project Management Methodologies). Students who plan to pursue a career work in project management within the supply chain management, construction, and/or the public sectors could also benefit from taking BUSN 3640 (Public Sector Procurement).
