Management Diploma is a diploma in Business & Management programme offered by Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 162 per credit for local students.
The diploma builds skills across areas such as business ethics, information systems, law, economics, human relations, marketing, problem-solving, and oral and written communications, together with accounting, readying graduates for entry-level work within general administration and sales roles. Credits earned in this diploma also count toward the Bachelor of Business Administration, carrying forward into that further qualification.
