Co-op
Field Experience
Learn Abroad
Doing paid work in a professional
setting is a great way to bridge the
gap between theory and practice,
and learn the daily realities of a
job – not to mention an ideal
opportunity to develop a network
of industry contacts.
A field experience during your
program enables you to relate
what you learn in our classrooms
and labs to what’s happening in
the workplaces you’ll be headed
to after graduation. And getting
that field experience while you’re
still in school gives you a head
start. You’ll develop professional
contacts within your industry
and enhance your resume at the
same time.
Each year Seneca welcomes students
from more than 100 countries who
come to Canada to learn, bringing
the world to our campuses and
classrooms. It’s part of what makes
the Seneca experience special.
And Seneca’s students can also
study, work and volunteer abroad
while at the same time earning
credits towards their credentials.
An international learning experience
is fascinating, fun and increasingly
valuable in a global economy, no
matter what your field.
Seneca’s Co-operative Education
department supports you in
obtaining four-month work terms
at a company or organization in
your field to give you hands-on,
real-world experience.
REAL WORLD MATTERS

innovation challenges, whether it’s a product, service or market issue. That is the opportunity for you — to apply the skills
and knowledge from your studies at Seneca as part of a team collaborating to find affordable, practical and market-ready
solutions. And at the end of the day, you’ve had a chance to apply your education and build experience in industry, all

Your Career
Program Description
Give yourself a career with options. Become
a professional bookkeeper with the one–year
Accounting Techniques certificate program and
you could work for yourself, a small family–run
business, a large corporation or anything in
between. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to do it all.
From accounts payable to accounts receivable
to payroll and beyond, you could play a
critical role in any company’s financial success
by providing it with a strong bookkeeping
foundation.
The Accounting Techniques (ACT) program
is designed to provide you with a solid
background in accounting and computerized
bookkeeping. Its short, intensive format
helps you focus on such critical skills as
financial reporting, practical experience with
accounting software packages, and training
in business communication. Complete the
program successfully and you’ll be equipped
to work in organizations of all types and
sizes as Accounting Clerks, Bookkeepers,
Administrative Assistants, Accounts
Receivable/Payable Clerks, etc.
The students who successfully complete the
ACT program of study will earn four of nine
academic courses required for the Certified
Bookkeeper designation awarded by the
Canadian Institute of Bookkeepers (CIB). The
remaining courses required for the designation
are offered as part of Seneca’s Accounting
diploma program (ACC).
Seneca, in co–operation with the Canadian
Institute of Bookkeeping (CIB), now offers this
two–semester (eight–month) program that
allows you to earn four of the nine courses
required for CIB’s professional bookkeeping
designation; and prepares you for a career in
bookkeeping and entry–level accounting.
A 2009 benchmark study conducted by
the Institute of Professional Bookkeepers of
Canada found that over 54% of individuals
employed in bookkeeping have college or
university–level education; and those with a
professional bookkeeping designation earn
significantly higher pay that those without.
Bookkeeping lends itself well to career
advancement. There are numerous options
for accreditation in the field of accounting,
the majority of which are easy to obtain while
working.
Bookkeepers are in demand as accounts
receivable/payable clerks/supervisors,
administrative assistants, payroll administrators,
office managers, budget co–ordinators and
assistant controllers.

Program Description
The Business Administration –
Entrepreneurship and Small Business program
adds entrepreneurial and small business know–
how to a powerful foundation of business
knowledge and skills. The skills learned in this
program are essential to business owners and
established businesses and organizations.
At the School of Business Management
(SBM), you’ll spend the first four semesters
building a practical grounding in contemporary
management theory. These four semesters are
common to all SBM programs.
In the final two semesters, you’ll develop
the skills required for the planning, start–up,
management, and expansion of successful small
businesses. But it’s not all classroom learning.
You’ll be exposed to stories of challenges
faced by prominent business owners at the
Entrepreneurship Guest Speaker Series.
Instructors will guide you and your colleagues
through the process of identifying innovative
and promising venture ideas
for your own business plan. At
our “Shark’s Pond” event, you’ll
present and defend these ideas,
sink or swim, to industry leaders.
Your learning experience is rounded out
through seminars, case analysis, online business
simulations, and a venture practicum in which you
will gain practical experience as an entrepreneur
of your own venture, or under the direction
of another entrepreneur. A component of
the practicum involves managing a project in
consultation with a Board of Advisors.
After completing the program, you’ll have
the tools to develop and present a finished
business plan to the Canadian Youth Business
Foundation (www.cybf.ca) and be considered
for a $15,000 loan.
You’ll also benefit from Seneca’s many
partnerships with outside organizations
such as receiving free membership into the
Association of Chinese Canadian
Entrepreneurs (ACCE.ca).

The benefit of a common curriculum in the first two years is that it gives you the flexibility to transfer your earned credits to the four Business
Administration programs listed in the chart below. The first four semesters are offered at both Newnham and Markham Campuses. The fifth and sixth
semesters of these programs are offered at Newnham Campus only.
There’s also flexibility provided through pathways to other programs in the Faculty of Business. First–year curricula at the School of Business

Your Career
In recent years, there has been an increased
awareness of the role of Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME) as drivers of innovation
within the Ontario and Canadian economy.
Canada's SMEs employ more people and
generate more economic activity than any
other sector. SMEs are the prime drivers of
economic growth in Canada, and that has
never been more evident than today. In light of
this, there is an increasing demand for qualified
graduates who have a keen understanding of
business through the eyes of SMEs.
As a graduate of the Bachelor of Commerce
(Business Management) degree you will be
able to adapt to the changing responsibilities
of the SME environment. You will be well
prepared for careers such as product
managers, project leaders, management, and
to start your own business.
In addition, you will have the required
knowledge to pursue several key industry
designations including the following:
• Canadian Institute of Management’s Certified
in Management (CIM), and the Professional
Manager (P.Mgr) professional designations
• The Project Management educational
component for the CAPM Certificate

• Microsoft Office Specialist Certificate
through Microsoft
• Professional Sales Certificate from the
Canadian Professional Sales Association

Applicant Selection
and the overall academic average of 6 Grade

selection of candidates.
Program Description
Most business administration programs are
focused on the needs of large enterprises;
however, small and medium–sized enterprises
(SMEs) offer far larger employment potential.
If you aspire to ‘be your own boss’, work in
the family business or start your career as an
entry level manager in the ever expanding SME
sector, then this degree is for you.
This degree is designed to provide you with
the fundamental principles of a well–rounded
undergraduate education and the solid
incremental building of knowledge through
courses specific to the needs of Small and
Medium Enterprises (SME) and the business
management professionals that run them. Upon
graduation, you will be able to demonstrate
your understanding of contemporary issues
in the Ontario, Canadian and global business
environment. You will also be able to work
cross–functionally, knowing the key business
functions and possessing critical business skills.
Block Transfers
Consideration may be given for block transfer
credits to students who have completed three
or more semesters of a business diploma
program.
Enhance your education with real–life, relevant
work experience. This degree program offers
you the advantage of a co–op work–term.
During the co–op placement, you will have
the opportunity to become involved in real–
life work experiences where critical thinking,
problem–solving and interpersonal skills are
used. This work experience will help you to
improve your marketability as a professional in
the field. The work–term is scheduled over the
summer semester and includes both paid and
unpaid co-op opportunities.

Your Career
Program Description
Industry Recognition
Focus your career on public relations
management. Upon completion of our
two–semester Corporate Communications
program, you’ll be prepared for employment
in a variety of sectors and organizations,
including business, public relations
consultancies, investor relations consultancies,
professional associations, government relations
consultancies and non–profit organizations.
As an articulate and effective communications
practitioner with excellent managerial,
strategic planning, writing, speaking, technical
and social skills, you’ll be well–equipped to
meet the corporate communications needs
of most organizations. Initially, you may
accept an entry–level public relations or
promotional position before moving on to
a communications career in such areas as
issues management, crisis communication,
employee relations, media relations, financial
communications and investor relations,
government relations, speech writing, special
event planning and spokesperson training.
You may also choose to apply the knowledge
gained in this program to careers other than
public relations.
This program is an intensive learning
experience that will prepare you to be a
flexible public relations and communications
practitioner with excellent management,
research, writing, technical, and social skills.
You’ll be capable of working independently
and becoming productive quickly in a
communications or consulting position.
Note: Seneca’s Corporate Communications
Program is the only public relations program in
Canada to be certified by the Public Relations
Society of America (PRSA), the world’s largest
professional organization for public relations
practitioners.
Program Eligibility
Applicant Selection
• Applicants will be selected on the basis
of their previous scholastic record; work
record, if applicable; a brief (400 word
maximum) statement of interest in a career
in public relations; and a writing test.
Because the number of applicants exceeds
the number of places available, only those
applicants who can demonstrate ability in
successful self–management, self–directed
learning, professionalism, and the highest
likelihood of success will be considered.
Selected applicants should have a computer,
programmed with contemporary word
processing and spreadsheet programs and
a printer.

Employers and academics in Europe, the
USA and most Commonwealth countries now
recognize that the practice of public relations
(corporate communications) is an applied
discipline grounded in its immediate social
context. To succeed in the field, practitioners
need to develop and apply public relations
administration skills and the knowledge of how
contemporary societies work and interact with
commercial, institutional and political forces
and trends.
Consequently, your studies in the Corporate
Communications program will provide you
with a solid foundation in at least one of
several bodies of knowledge before studying
public relations. These include political science,
economics, history, English literature, sociology,
psychology, science, philosophy and business
or public administration.
You’ll benefit from our commitment to
experiential learning. Throughout the program,
you’ll gain knowledge from other students
and acquire important professional skills from
hands–on exercises. You’ll also learn from
expert professors. Corporate Communications
is a career–focused program that emphasizes
public relations research, a global perspective
and active learning. To succeed as a student,
you must be prepared to work productively
and closely with other students and with the
professors.
In addition to tuition and living expenses,
you should budget approximately $1,200 for
textbooks and $500 for incidentals associated
with various class and research activities.
School of English and Liberal Studies
It is also officially recognized by the Canadian
Public Relations Society and the International
Association of Business Communicators.
The curriculum has been developed based
on recommendations and standards of the
PRSA and the International Public Relations
Association (IPRA). IPRA, a group of senior
public relations practitioners from 100
countries is based in London, England. It
actively engages in research. It conducts an
international congress every three–years, with
the aim of advancing public relations practice
and education on a global level. Our program
is guided by the recommendations of the IPRA
International Commission on Public Relations
Education. The training of students for the
public relations profession implies curricula
and internships that equip them for the kind
of future environment in which they will be
working, not just that which exists today.
Study in Europe
Enrol in the Corporate Communications
program in September, and you'll have the
option of completing your second semester
at a “Seneca partner” college or university in
Belgium, Holland or France. We have exchange
opportunities that allow our students to
study corporate communication abroad for
one semester for no additional tuition fees,
while receiving full credit toward graduation
from Seneca. A limited number of places
are available each year and students may be
selected by the promotion committee.
Corporate Communications

After you graduate from the Corporate
Communications program, you may be eligible
to continue your studies towards a master's

award advanced standing for up to a third
of their program. Our partner universities
are: Athabasca University, and Royal Roads
University in Canada; Griffith University, Edith
Cowan University, and RMIT University in
Australia; University of Central Lancashire in
England; University of Stirling in Scotland;
Rutgers University, and Baruch College in the
U.S.A.; and Cape Peninsula University in South

Program Description
Curriculum
Bringing together people, information
and materials, library technicians meet
the challenges of a constantly changing
information environment. To do this, they use
the latest technologies to organize and retrieve
information, and, along with librarians, they
are the mainstay of libraries. They are service–
oriented, work with minimal supervision and
are adaptable to change. As a graduate of
this LIT diploma program, you may find work
in various environments such as business
corporations, professional firms, colleges,
schools, and public libraries.
The focus of the program is practical and
experience–based, whether in class, working
independently on assignments, or in field
placements. Your educational experience
includes a high proportion of time using
computers and software specific to the library
and information industry. The curriculum is
based on the Guidelines for the Education of
Library Technicians produced by the Canadian
Library Association and changes continuously
to reflect the latest developments in the
working world. The skill set at the completion
of this program prepares graduates to take
their place in the workforce and be productive
immediately.

For over forty years Seneca College has been

teaching or apply directly to masters programs
and advance their educational knowledge
through further specialization.

program, you will have earned a Bachelor
degree in Child Development. In order to
practice in Ontario as an “Early Childhood
Educator” or a “Registered Early Childhood

Your Career
Program Description
Demand for skilled and knowledgeable
professionals to work in a helping capacity with
seniors is increasing as Canada’s population
ages. The Social Service Worker – Gerontology
Diploma prepares graduates to provide
community services and products to seniors
with a wide range of physical, psychological,
social and financial challenges. After four
semesters, you may find fulfilling employment
opportunities with agency providers of seniors’
services such as government agencies, not–
for–profit agencies, for–profit agencies, and
private individuals. You may also find a wide
range of employment opportunities in many
different levels, including co–ordination of
home support services (e.g., meals on wheels,
transportation, friendly visiting, congregate
dining, homemaker services, and telephone
reassurance); work in programs for people with
dementia; activation co–ordination; supportive
housing co–ordination; co–ordination of
volunteer programs. Some graduates have
started their own businesses. Advocating for,
and empowering seniors to achieve their goals
is an important aspect of all these employment
possibilities. Graduates of the SSWG program
are eligible for registration with the Ontario
College of Social Workers and Social Service
Workers.
Program Eligibility
The Social Service Worker – Gerontology
program integrates the knowledge base,
professional values, and skill–sets of social
service work with a specific concentration
on the needs, challenges, and concerns of
Canada’s aging population. The program
focuses on a holistic and strength–based
approach to help aging clients maintain a
good quality of life. As a student, you will
have the opportunity to develop skills such
as program planning, individual and group
modes of facilitation, interventions with clients,
their families and significant others, case
management, interpersonal communication,
and skills related to working with bereavement
and grief. You will also benefit from a very
substantial fieldwork placement component
which starts in the second semester and runs
through the third and fourth semesters.
Applicant Selection
will be selected on the basis of a reading
comprehension and English test, usually
administered at a College orientation
session. This assessment, along with
academic achievement (i.e. grade in the pre–
requisite English subject or its equivalent),
will provide the basis upon which selection
of applicants is determined.
A flu shot and TB test are generally required
for placement at long–term care facilities.
Advanced standing and prior learning
assessment opportunities are also available.
An official transcript and subject outlines, for
the courses that students wish to present for
consideration for advanced standing, must
accompany such requests. Only courses from
post–secondary institutions, where the student
has achieved at least a final mark of 60%, will
be considered for advanced standing.
Your studies in the Social Service Worker –
Gerontology program include opportunities
to engage in personal change and growth, to
work cohesively as a member of a team, to
integrate and apply professional ethics, to meet
deadlines, manage personal issues that might
arise, and successfully achieve the learning
outcomes of the various subjects. The College
offers a variety of supports to assist you in this
self–directed learning environment where you
are ultimately responsible for your personal
success. Be prepared to spend 20 or more
hours each week working on assignments, etc.
Graduates tell us important factors for success
in SSWG are: study skills; time management;
class attendance and participation; taking
personal responsibility for the outcomes
of one’s actions; minimizing the number
of hours that might be occupied by part–
time employment; and the ability to deal
constructively with the stresses of a busy life.

Social Service Worker – Gerontology
Field Work
(OCSWSSW). Graduates of the SSWG
visit www.ocswssw.org.
Field work is a valuable opportunity to gain
work experience while meeting the learning
outcomes of the SSWG program. You will work
in a professional capacity, with specified job
responsibilities, record keeping evaluations,
time management requirements, contracted
hours of work, expectations of teamwork, and
appropriate interpersonal interaction. You
will be evaluated on the basis of an approved
three–part learning contract as agreed by you,
the approved fieldwork agency, and the Seneca
SSWG program. This work calls for individuals
who are self–aware, reliable, sensitive and
facilitative, and mature enough to focus on the
needs and interests of others.
Fieldwork days are typically:
semesters two, three and four;
Students typically have one placement at a
residential setting and one placement at a
community agency which provides services to
seniors.
A Seneca professor will assist you in the
selection and approval of a fieldwork
placement, though the final contract will be
your responsibility. This experience will help you
develop job–search skills while in the supportive
environment of the program. All fieldwork
placements must be approved by the College.

King 4 SemestersOntario College DiplomaFall
(2 Years)
Your Career
Program Description
As a student in this program, you will graduate
with a deep understanding of the principles
of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), and the
broad range of their possible applications.
You may choose to pursue a rewarding
career as a behavioural interventionist in the
field of autism, a field which offers many
employment opportunities. You could also
seek employment in the school system, as an
educational assistant or educational resource
facilitator, or in a specialized position within
the school system’s every-increasing ABAbased services. Your career path may also
lead you to employment in correctional
facilities, group homes, or other specialized
centres that need staff who can implement
behavioural intervention plans for individuals
with behavioural challenges or other
exceptionalities.
The Behavioural Sciences diploma program
gives you the opportunity to study the theory
and clinical applications of the branch of
applied psychology known as behavioural
science. As a student in the Behavioural
Sciences program, you will learn about Applied
Behaviour Analysis (ABA), which is the science
of understanding, analyzing and modifying
human behaviour.
Program Eligibility
Desirable
Applicant Selection
• Academic achievement (particularly
grade in the pre-requisite English subject
or its equivalent and the recommended
Mathematics subject or its equivalent).
162
In the classroom and through your field
placements, you will learn about the many
clinical applications of ABA. One focus
area for the program is the application of
behavioural science to the treatment of
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other
developmental disabilities. You will also learn
about interventions in other clinical areas, such
as gerontology, mental health, forensics, and
corrections. As a student in this program you
will gain insight into the context of behavioural
intervention as you learn about issues like
family support, community integration, and risk
management.
This program will prepare you to seek
employment as an instructor therapist in
government-funded or private Intensive
Behavioural Intervention (IBI) programs. You
will also be qualified to work as a behaviour
technician in the new government-funded
ABA-based support programs. As a graduate
of this program, you would be able to seek
employment in the school system as an
educational assistant or educational resource
facilitator, providing support to students
with ASD, behavioural challenges, or other
exceptionalities. Completing this program
will also qualify you to seek employment in
settings where an understanding of behavioural
intervention is necessary, such as group homes,
community living centres, and other specialized
agencies.
Field WORK
Field work is a critical part of the Behavioural
Sciences program. Your field work placements
will give you the opportunity to gain valuable
work experience and to apply what you have
learned in the classroom in a real-world setting.
In your field placement, you will work in a
professional capacity, with specified job tasks,
clinical responsibilities, time management
requirements, contracted hours of work,
expectations of teamwork, and appropriate
interpersonal interactions. You will assume the
role of a beginning professional in a supervised
field-placement setting, working within an
employer-employee relationship.
School of community services
You will be evaluated on the basis of an
approved learning contract as agreed upon
by you, the approved fieldwork agency,
and Seneca College’s Behavioural Sciences
program. This work calls for you to have the
ability to be self–aware, reliable, sensitive and
facilitative, and mature enough to focus on the
needs and interests of others.
