Course Requirements:

  Notes:

1. The courses, above, have been listed in the recommended order for students to take them. To complete the program efficiently, students need to:
   • Make note of courses that are not offered every term to adjust their plans accordingly,
   • Take all pre-requisites prior to attempting to register for a given course, and
   • Understand which courses have additional minimum grade requirements in the prerequisites.
   • While C- is the normal minimum grade needed to be achieved in a pre-requisite course, some courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course.
   • Students must know which courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course so that they can achieve the necessary grade.
   • If students do not obtain the required grade in a pre-requisite course, students must retake the pre-requisite course to earn the grade required.
2. COBA 4885 (Experiential Learning and Internship) provides the opportunity for students to gain unpaid work experience and course credit. This program is not eligible for Internship for international students. Domestic students may take COBA 4885 as an additional course that does not count towards the 30 credits requirement for this program. Students who would like to find out more about internship should email the careercentre@douglascollege.ca at the start of their program.
3. For replacement courses, students must:
   • Work within the requirement that, at least, 50% (15 credits) of the coursework in the post-degree diploma is at the 3000/4000 level;
   • Meet pre-requisites for the replacement courses (i.e., not expect pre-requisite overrides); and
   • Select from the following courses:
   • Any course from CBA (i.e., BUSN, ACCT, BLAW, COBA, CSIS, ECON, FINC, HOSP, or MARK) or
   • From outside CBA, the courses that are listed in the table below, or
   • A similar course, as approved by the Program Coordinator.
