Why study this program?
Operations Management professionals provide a critical function for organizations, analyzing data and behaviour to optimize processes, manage resources, and improve profitability and service.
In studying Operations Management, you’ll learn to use computer models, mathematics, process analysis, and business analytics to interpret data and make business decisions. You’ll also develop analytical and problem solving skills that are useful in a wide variety of everyday situations, learning to ask "how," "why," and "why not" to find the most efficient answers to seemingly complicated questions.
The BCom Honors in Operations Management follows the same general program of studies as the BCom with a Major in Operations Management, with additional required courses. The program is meant for students who wish to follow a more rigorous quantitative program.
Why study at the University of Alberta?
The Alberta School of Business offers one of the largest BCom programs in Canada, with five different degree types, 11 majors, and many opportunities for specialization and work experience, including student clubs, business incubators, case competitions, study abroad programs, and more.
