Why choose Business Technology Management?

---

Business technology management scholars ask questions such as: How can technology improve a process? What maintenance will a product require? Who should be on the project team?

Business technology managers examine the use, management, and impact of information technologies on individuals, organizations, industries, the economy and society. You’ll combine industry knowledge, practical applications, and academic principles to examine new technologies and understand their impact on the business environment. You’ll complete formal presentations, group projects and various case studies during your degree.

Career opportunities

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Commerce degree with a concentration in business technology management, you’ll be prepared for global career opportunities in the areas of marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, and more. A degree in commerce can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or another professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.

“

The information systems concentration at the Haskayne School of Business offers students a unique opportunity to study a blend of traditional management practice and theory with technical information systems topics, such as database management and systems design. I transferred to Haskayne from computer science, as it expanded my scope of study to include bigger organizational implications. My favourite part of the program was having the opportunity to work with a local non-profit organization to redesign its internal systems.

Early and Standard Admission Procedures

As a current high school student, the University of Calgary will review your application through our standard and early admission processes each time new grades are presented. We review based on the highest level of courses received at the time of review (this means that if you have completed a grade 12 (30 level) required course, this course will be used instead of the grade 11 (20 level) course.

Early Admission Process

The early admission process considers four approved program specific courses from grade 11 (20 level or equivalent). The admission office issues a smaller number of offers at a higher academic average during the early review with the majority of offers being issued through standard admission.

Standard Admission Process

The standard admission process considers five program specific courses from grade 11 or 12 (20 or 30 level or equivalent). At least one course must be at grade 12 (30 level or equivalent). Competitive admission averages are listed above.

Finalizing Admission

Students admitted through the early or standard process must complete all grade 12 (30-level or equivalent) course requirements, maintain the admission average required for admission in the year of application and obtain their Alberta Grade 12 Graduation (or equivalent).
