Program details
Overview
Business Management at MacEwan University is a diploma program with a certificate exit option, offered with flexible scheduling that lets students study full-time or part-time, a term at a time or continuously throughout the year, and adjust their course loads and timetables to fit their circumstances. The curriculum covers finance, marketing, and entrepreneurship as part of a general business management foundation, and students can choose to specialize in aviation management or in insurance and risk management rather than following the general stream alone. The diploma carries accreditation from the Canadian Institute of Management/Chartered Managers Canada, meaning graduates meet the academic requirements for the Certified in Management designation. The program is offered through MacEwan's business programming and suits students who need scheduling flexibility alongside a business education, as well as those aiming for roles in finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, or one of the program's specialized streams. It is a suitable entry point for students who want a business credential without committing to a full four-year degree, while still gaining a recognized management designation pathway.
