Program details

Overview

This two-year diploma program begins with a common first term covering foundational courses in accounting, marketing, economics, and communications, after which students select a major in Accounting, Financial Services, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Tourism Management, or General Studies. Instruction is delivered full-time in a classroom setting combining hands-on activities, group projects, and case studies, with an emphasis on digital and professional skills, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. The program is offered at several Winnipeg-area and regional campuses, including Notre Dame, Exchange District, Portage, Winkler, Steinbach, and Interlake, with second-year major offerings sometimes limited at the regional locations; entry is available in September and January depending on campus. The program suits individuals exploring business career paths or seeking a broad foundation before specializing in a particular discipline, as well as those who already have a specific business area of interest in mind when choosing their major. A personal laptop is required for coursework.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires Grade 12 graduation, or final-year enrolment with results due by 15 July for fall entry, including Grade 12 English (40S) and Grade 12 Math (40S, Accounting 40S excluded); applicants 19 or older who have been out of high school for at least a year may qualify as mature students by completing or enrolling in the same two courses. Applicants who completed three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the United States, or an ELR-exempt country with English as the language of instruction meet the language requirement automatically; others must submit one of RRC Polytech's approved diploma-level assessments: IELTS Academic (overall 6.0, no band below 5.5), CAEL (overall band 60), PTE (overall 54, minimum 50 per skill), Duolingo (115 or above, minimum 95 per section), or TOEFL iBT (4.0 overall, minimum 3.5 per component). The program runs September and January intakes at select campuses, and a personal laptop meeting the program's specification is required from the start of studies.

Application Details

Start Date: September and January
Application Deadline: Domestic and international applicants apply directly to RRC Polytech. The college states that most programs, including many trades and technology diplomas, have no fixed application deadline and remain open for registration until the program start date or until seats fill, while a smaller set of higher-demand programs (started in August or September) does carry a published deadline, listed through an interactive search tool on the college's Application Deadlines page. The specific cut-off dates for individual programs, and any distinct international deadline, could not be extracted from that page by automated means, so admission for most of this institution's programs is best treated as rolling rather than tied to a fixed date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
