BTM Programs

The BTM program is structured into Pre-core, Core and Elective courses.

Students are expected to demonstrate a minimum competence in accounting and financial management in order to enter the degree and certificate programs. This is possible by evidence in their transcript of appropriate course work, or by successfully completing one or both pre-core courses (BTM 505 and 510), as appropriate, or by demonstrating proficiency through an examination. Credit for these courses does not count towards program requirements.
