Offered by Collège d'Alma in Alma, Canada, Diploma in Business Administration and Management Techniques is a diploma in Business Administration programme. The programme runs for 3 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 7,575 per semester.
This program leads to a DEC in Business Administration and Management Techniques at Collège d'Alma, completed over three years across six semesters on campus, with a work-study alternance option available. Introduced in its current form starting fall 2024 as a redesign of the college's former accounting and management techniques program, it trains generalists across accounting, finance, market research, inventory management, client relations and human resources. Core coursework covers introductory through managerial accounting, human resources, data management, logistics, tax law, asset protection, web development, business ethics and business plan development, alongside a student-run tax clinic and a school-enterprise component. From the fifth semester, students choose three courses from five specialization options: marketing, finance and investment, applied accounting, digital strategies, or business Spanish. The program suits students with sound judgment, communication skills, administrative aptitude and an interest in teamwork and applied tasks. Regional employer partnerships supplement the coursework, and students living more than 60 kilometres from the college may qualify for an annual mobility bursary.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page sets no requirements beyond Collège d'Alma's general admission conditions: a Secondary School Diploma (DES); a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) together with Secondary 5 courses in the language of instruction and the second language and Secondary 4 mathematics; training judged equivalent by the college; sufficient training and experience following 36 months or more of uninterrupted full-time study; or, missing six credits or fewer toward the DES, conditional admission completed in the first session. The page separately notes that applicants can inquire about Recognition of Prior Learning and Skills (RAC) as an alternate route into the field. No French or English language-proficiency test score, portfolio, or interview is published as a requirement.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through the Service régional de l'admission des cégeps du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (SRASL): for the September 2027 intake, admission rounds close 1 March, 1 May and 1 June 2027, and for January 2027 entry the round closes 1 November 2026, with some programmes not offered at Winter intake. International applicants submit the same SRASL online application and are not given a separate closing date by Collège d'Alma; the college's international-students page directs them to the SRASL portal rather than publishing a distinct international deadline for the 2027 cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
