Office Administration - Executive

Program Description

This program provides you with relevant administrative and high-level technological skills to meet the demands of the current and emerging business environment.

As a student in this program, you will master in three semesters, the skills and knowledge traditionally offered in a four-semester program. Each semester consists of two seven-week modules, for a total of three semesters (six modules), which are delivered over twelve consecutive months. The first three modules are common to all three Office Administration diploma programs: EXS; LES and MES. You'll acquire a solid foundation of business office procedures and intermediate-level computer skills. In addition, you may change specialization without interrupting their progress.

The final two semesters specialize in Executive Office Administration with advanced-level computer skills and accounting. Workplace simulations assist you in transferring the learned skills and knowledge to the work environment. Computer skills and business office practices are also readily transferable to other academic and career paths.

Finally, you’ll complete the program and access the job market at non-traditional times.

Admission Requirements

Program Eligibility:

• Ontario Secondary School Diploma with a majority of senior credits at the College Preparation (C), University Preparation (U) or University/College Preparation (M) level or Mature Student Status (age 19 or older)
• Grade 12 English: ENG4(C) or ENG4(U)

Applicant Selection:

• Applicant grades in pre-requisite English subjects (or their equivalents) will be used as a basis for selection of candidates.

Desirable:

• Although not currently required for admission, Grade 12 Mathematics (MCT4C or MAP4C) is strongly recommended.

The Importance of Learning Skills:
Student success in college requires well developed learning skills (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. While it is expected that applicants would have developed these skills through previous education and life experiences, Seneca offers support to assist students with further development of these important skills. Seminars, workshops and tutoring are available at Seneca's Learning Centres.
