Why study Business Technology Management?

While most firms play catch-up with technology, your skills — built on a solid grasp of technology, business, process, project and change management — close that gap. This program turns you into a tech-savvy manager who can implement information and communication technologies (ICT), increase productivity and be an innovative entrepreneur. You’ll build knowledge and skills in:

Information and communication technology
Business process analysis
Project management
Critical thinking
Communications and interpersonal skills

You’ll graduate as a manager who understands technology and computer programming, who can supervise projects, introduce new technology to a workplace or join a whip-smart start-up. That’s a solid competitive advantage any business would invest in.

Program options

A Bachelor of Commerce degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 - 120 credits) of full-time study, depending on your academic background. All John Molson School of Business students follow a core business curriculum coupled with a John Molson School of Business major, which may be combined with a minor in another discipline or any combination of elective courses that interest them.

Core business courses (42 credits)

A Minor in Business Technology Management (12 credits) is available only to John Molson School of Business undergraduate students. This minor fulfills half of the 24 elective credits in your BComm and complements your major field of study.
