Program details

Overview

The two-year diploma builds a foundation of general business knowledge covering how human resources contributes to organisational success, before focusing on specific HR functional areas such as recruitment and selection, compensation, and health and safety. An optional co-op is available alongside the core programme.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This diploma admits applicants holding a university degree or a three-year college diploma in any discipline. Centennial will also consider a two-year college diploma or a partial university degree (at least 75% complete) combined with a minimum of two years of relevant work experience, subject to a transcript and resume review; graduates of Centennial's own three-year Business Administration - Human Resources advanced diploma are not eligible. The page defers its English-proficiency standard to Centennial's institution-wide requirement, which for diploma-level postgraduate-style programs of this kind sets IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 67, and PTE Academic 51. No minimum admission GPA is published, and the program's availability table does not currently list an open intake term.

Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for a program starting in Fall 2027 the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and applications arriving after it are still assessed, but first-come first-served while places remain. Across the Ontario college system the application opened on 26 September 2026, offers may be issued from 1 November 2026, and an offer must be accepted by 1 May 2027.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
