At Portage College in Lac La Biche, Canada, Business Administration Diploma – Management is offered as a diploma in Business Administration programme. Tuition for international students is CAD 15,606 per year (CAD 5,189 per year for local students).
This two-year diploma prepares students for management roles across a range of industries through applied study of core business theories, delivered in a multi-access format at the Cold Lake and Lac La Biche campuses. The first year, which earns a certificate on its own, covers foundational subjects including business mathematics, accounting, marketing, economics, organizational behaviour and business communications. The second year builds toward diploma-level management competencies through financial management, human resources, operations management, strategic management, project management, business law and management accounting. The program suits students aiming for managerial positions, entrepreneurship, or further study toward a bachelor's degree, and its smaller class sizes support closer instructor contact than at larger institutions. Admission requires standard high-school English and math courses, with placement testing available for students below the required level. Graduates pursue roles in banking, human resources, operations, entrepreneurship, government and supply-chain management.
