Take your degree to the next level and bolster your resumé with the Queen's Graduate Diploma in Business (GDB)
Scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 are currently available for applicants to this four-month summer program offered through Smith School of Business.
The program, which begins in May, provides an opportunity for non-business graduates to broaden their career opportunities by gaining valuable insight into business and management practices.
"As a Drama major, who was heavily involved in student government, this program allowed me to obtain a formal business education, stand out to potential employers, and provided me with career opportunities that were otherwise not possible," says graduate Justin Reekie BA(Drama)'15 and GDB'15, who now works as an Assistant Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble.
Aa part of the program, students complete a total of eight courses, including Communication & Professional Skills, Leading with Integrity, Financial Accounting, Finance Fundamentals, Business & Corporate Strategy, Economics & Industry Analysis, Marketing Fundamentals and Operations & Supply Chain Management.
Successful completion of the program not only results in a diploma from one of the world's premiere business schools, but each credit also represents a credit toward a Queen's MBA degree and some courses are eligible for credit toward certain master's degrees.
"The best part is that, by studying at such a reputable business school, I have gained practical experience in the classroom, developed valuable knowledge and skills, and advanced my professional business career in just four months," GDB class of 2015 graduate Shawna Griffin, BSc (Life Sciences)'15, says of the program. Shawna works for RBC in Investor and Treasury Services.
Applications received by April 30th will be assessed based on their overall merit as well as each applicant's eligibility to receive a scholarship.
