The tight job market has led many new post-secondary school graduates to obtain an edge by seeking practical business knowledge from an institution of higher education.  The Graduate Diploma in Business is designed to meet this growing demand and will attract non-business undergraduates wanting to achieve competencies in business acumen.  Graduates of the Diploma program will have built on the skills developed in their previous academic training and will have the skills and knowledge in areas of general management and the analysis of the business environment to improve their employability.  This four month diploma program is based on the core courses of the Queen’s MBA. Successful graduates of the Diploma program may ladder their credential by applying the credits earned toward completion of the Queen’s MBA should they so desire.
