The Graduate Diploma in Management (GDM) is a stand-alone, direct-entry graduate program designed to provide recent graduates from non-business programs a summary introduction to topics in management with the aim of improving their employability. The program offers a choice of courses to prepare students to work either in commercial or in not-for-profit and public organizations. The program is designed to cover two needs: 1) introduce graduates from various disciplines to management education, and 2) serve as a pre-requisite to the Master of Science in Management Practice offered by York University. The GDM will provide a flexible offering, including blended and weekday evening/weekend courses to better target young and seasoned professionals who desire to obtain a short graduate degree in management while continuing to work or as a stepping point for another graduate program. The program can be completed in two terms.
