SWIFT CURRENT: Great Plains College is pleased to announce that a two-year Business diploma with a specialization in management has been added to the full-time programs offered at Great Plains College Swift Current campus.
Applications for September entry are currently being accepted for both the Business certificate and Business diploma programs.
“The addition of this program is a natural extension from the Business certificate program we currently offer,” said Brian Gobbett, vice president academic at Great Plains College. “We strive to meet the educational and employment needs of our region and are confident that this diploma will serve our students and our community well.”
The Business diploma builds on the certificate program and successful graduates of the certificate program may transfer directly to a full-time or part-time Business diploma program specializing in management at Great Plains College Swift Current Campus. New students may apply directly to the two-year Business diploma.
“This diploma is brokered through Saskatchewan Polytechnic and students receive the exact same training and credentials that are offered there,” added Gobbett. “As well, Saskatchewan Polytechnic has articulated credit transfer agreements with both provincial universities that allow students with acceptable performance to transfer into their third year of university study in commerce or business.”
Students who apply to a full-time student loan-eligible program, such as Business diploma before April 30, are automatically considered for a $500 to $5,000 entrance scholarship. Furthermore, Grade 11 students, who have at least a 70 per cent average and apply before June 30, are eligible for a $1,000 early entrance award. This is in addition to the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship provided by the provincial government.
