If you get your shit together, not slack off and do all your work it'll be fine. Don't bother working full time unless you're some kind of super human. If you haven't bought your textbooks yet lemme know. Posted via RS Mobile | |

ITMG has the same basic classes as FinMan for the first year so I can relate to this.
I went to the Orientation when I took ITMG and it was a waste of time. Pretty much you just sit in the gym, play some drums, listen to a few people talk and take a campus tour.
Be prepared to live at BCIT when you are going to school. When you aren't in class you'll be busy with meetings with your various OB or Marketing groups working on projects.
Are you going straight from high school? I went straight from highschool to BCIT Business and it murdered me because I didn't take it seriously. Not trying to scare you but be prepared to have no life for two years.

fmgt is killer. do your hmk and study.
over 60% of full time students drop out or do part time after the first semester. lots of people cannot handle the workload. but that is why a fmgt diploma is recognized so highly among employers.
i have a better job with a diploma than some friends who have BBAs .

yeah first year is a bit of a joke if you're smart and can pick things up quickly.
You have to do alot of BS courses that are pointless, like marketing, communications, and some course i can't remember the name of where the whole term is just 1 group presentation and 1 solo presentation. basically all your marks in that course are whether or not you actually go to class to watch other peoples presentations.
Second year, first term isn't so bad, second term sucks.
Make sure to join the BCITFMA club that me and a few others started a couple years back! That'll help to get you some exposure with local employers. http://bcitfma.com/ | |

First semester isn't really that bad. Second semester gets tougher with some of the finance courses. Second year is just fucking expensive. Right now I'm forking out a grand for books and it's so stupid. Even working part time is hard with the course load.
Ajax did you go finance or accounting?

Second year, first term isn't so bad, second term sucks. | This is the key, focus on about 4 core courses and you'll be ok

all those classes i think are weighted the same credit wise so you should do well in all of them haha. comm isn't about sitting in a desk, it teaches you how to properly do a resume cover letter. also teaches you how to write emails and what not in a proper business manner. bsys is good for learning excel and what not. any questions just ask me

BCOMM was full of so much bad advice it's unreal.
they actually stated that in all circumstances you should ALWAYS WRITE THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAILS IN FULL CAPITALS.
you'll have people laughing at you pretty quick if you do that IRL.

I have been working full time in accounting for 5 years but learned everything on the job rather then in school. I do have some of the business courses which I can transfer (like org behavior and business communication) from Douglas and SFU.
I was thinking about taking this program part-time. What's the required course load on part timers? Anyone know? 2 courses a semester? Or is it 3?
