Overview

The Finance Post-Baccalaureate Diploma helps you develop financial literacy; a strong foundation in financial planning and investing and an understanding of business and financial law.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: On top of Douglas College's general admission requirements and English Language Proficiency requirement (proof of English proficiency, met with IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83, PTE Academic 56, Duolingo English Test 110, CAEL 60 or another option the college accepts), the Finance Post-Baccalaureate Diploma requires an undergraduate degree from a recognized post-secondary institution in Canada, or an equivalent credential from an approved institution in another country. Applicants whose degree was earned in a language other than English must separately meet the college's English language proficiency requirement, using the same accepted tests. No minimum GPA, portfolio, interview or work-experience threshold is published for this diploma.

Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC: for the 2027 entry cycle, Fall applications open 1 October 2026, Winter applications open 1 February 2026, and Summer applications open 1 June 2026; limited-enrolment programmes set no fixed close and shut once seats fill, while open-enrolment programmes stay open until 4:00 p.m. the Friday before the semester starts. International applicants apply directly to Douglas: Fall 2026 entry is now closed, Winter 2027 entry is accepted until 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry until 31 January 2027.
