SPECIAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
There are many organizations within the business
community designed to serve the needs of people working in specialized areas of
business. These organizations recognize that the educational qualifications of
those seeking membership must be continually upgraded. Therefore, they sponsor
an academic certificate which may be obtained through correspondence courses, or
through a lecture program.
The John Molson School of Business co-operates with
these business organizations by permitting personnel to register as Visiting
students, and to take courses leading to a certificate to be awarded by the
organization concerned.
Students must comply with the University regulations
regarding dates of application and Visiting Commerce student entrance
requirements as outlined in the Academic Calendar §11. In addition, they must
meet the requirements of the specific organization.
The credit courses taken may be applied towards the
BComm degree, provided the student meets the admission requirements and wishes
to transfer from Visiting Commerce status to undergraduate status after
completing a certificate program. Students are advised that they must meet the
BComm curriculum requirements in force at the date of transfer.
Each certificate program has one or more special
courses required to complete the program. These courses do not carry credit
towards an undergraduate degree and are designated as non-credit courses.
Students interested in the following certificate
programs may obtain details of required courses from the organization concerned:
The American Marketing Association (Montreal
Chapter)
Institute of Canadian Bankers
The Insurance Institute of Canada
The Trust Companies Institute of Canada
Professional Secretaries International (CPS)
