Requirements

Admission Requirements: Okanagan College's Business Administration Diploma admits under the college's standard route: B.C. secondary-school graduation or the equivalent, English 12 or an approved alternative, and mathematics at a minimum of 50 per cent in one of Pre-Calculus 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, Principles of Mathematics 11, Applications of Mathematics 11, Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 11, Apprenticeship Mathematics 11, or the equivalent Adult Basic Education course, or a score of at least 16/25 on the college's own Mathematics Diagnostic Test. Mature applicants (at least 19, out of full-time secondary study for a year or more) have the graduation requirement waived but must still meet the English and mathematics standards. No IELTS, TOEFL or other standardised language-test score is published for this diploma. A personal laptop is required, and at least 50 per cent of the diploma, including a minimum of 15 credits at the 200 level or higher, must be completed through Okanagan College.
