The Graduate Diploma in Management provides students who have non-business background with a robust understanding of the field of management and key skills required in managing an organization. Through a set of modules, students are introduced to the major areas in management: organizational theory, marketing, accounting, finance, operations management, management information systems, organizational behaviour, and law. Graduate diploma students hone their skills and knowledge in a capstone course that addresses real-life organizational problems. Students interested in public sector management can substitute two business-specific modules with two modules specific to the public sector.

The Graduate Diploma in Management can be taken either concurrently with other graduate programs by students who desire to expand the scope of their education or as a direct-entry diploma for candidates who seek to advance their careers.

The graduate diploma also provides non-business graduates as well as individuals that have degrees from non-Canadian institutions with the prerequisites required to stream seamlessly into the Graduate Program in Management Practice offered by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, or other accredited graduate programs.
