Program Courses

NOTE: Starting in Vancouver on September 9, 2024, for morning schedules and November 4, 2024, for evening schedules, and in Toronto on December 2, 2024*, some courses in this program will change:
The new Workplace Skills & Tools course will replace:
• Business Law AND
• Work Placement Skills 1 & 2 or Job Search Preparation (depending on your schedule, study campus, and whether you are taking an academic or co-op program)
*This change will be implemented for new arriving Greystone College Vancouver and Toronto students who begin their studies on or after the program change dates listed.

The course provides students with an overview of business law and an understanding of basic legal terminology. Since contracts form the heart of business operations, a significant portion of the course is dedicated to contract law and various legal issues arising from contract disputes. Class topics and discussions will draw on examples from current news media reports on legal cases. Knowledge of the court system includes field trips to the law courts.

This course introduces students to globalization and to the value-adding activities of businesses in the current global economy. We discuss the impact of national cultures on doing business globally. In addition, we examine the external forces that impact businesses, international organizations, legal and labor forces in the global context. The course touches on strategic alliances and the impact of rapid environmental changes on strategic planning for international business.

This course introduces students to the concept of management by exploring the roles and functions of managers in a business environment. The purpose of the course is to enhance the students' understanding of the elements of the management processes of planning, organizing, directing and controlling organizational activities. The course is designed to build a foundation of knowledge needed in future management courses.

The ability to communicate well is an essential requirement for all employees of an organization. In this course, we explore the importance of communication in business and cross-cultural environments; students also compose various forms of written communication and prepare and deliver a formal business presentation.

This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to marketing concepts and terminology. It examines the importance of marketing within organizations and society in general. Students will study the major components of a marketing plan, the marketing mix and consumer relationships. They will learn how to address the basic needs of companies in planning, developing, and managing products, distribution channels, promotion and pricing.

This course introduces students to the concepts of organizational behaviour and their application in today's business environments. Students will develop insights into how the behaviour of individuals and groups impact organizations. Further, they will learn to apply the theories and concepts of organizational behaviour to develop effective managerial competencies in such areas as teamwork, motivation, decision making and leadership.

Learn the fundamental skills necessary for the Canadian workplace. Students will learn topics such as oral and written communication, computer skills, and workplace preparation. The course will also cover the necessary skills needed for academic study in their program.

During the co-op work placement, students will put their skills into practise in a local workplace in a position related to their specific program objectives. Students will be required to complete job tasks as assigned to them by the employer. In addition, students are required to provide regular feedback (monthly) on their placement experience to Greystone College using prescribed reporting forms.

In this course, students will learn strategies and techniques to establish and implement a personal professional development plan to strive for efficiency and effectiveness in business. Students will reflect on their personal self-awareness through assessing their values, strengths and weaknesses as well as their vision in life. This will also help students set meaningful life and career goals, align with their goals more effectively and understand oneself in relation to others.

*This course is only required for Vancouver program students taking the academic (non-co-op) program in the daytime schedule. Evening program students and Co-op students will take Work Placement Skills. However, please note that this course is being phased out and will be replaced by Workplace Skills and Tools (exact date varies by program).

This course is delivered in two parts. In Part 1, students will develop the basic skills for finding and securing work in Canada – they will learn about resumes, cover letters, tax forms and more. Part 2 of the course is designed especially for Co-op students. It provides additional support to help students find and secure a co-op placement related to their studies and explains expectations and responsibilities during the work term.

*Evening program students taking academic (non-co-op) programs will take the first part of the Work Placement Skills Course. Co-op students will complete part 1 and 2. Daytime academic (non-co-op) students will take the Job Search Preparation course.
