Major in Business Technology Management [Business]

Sequence of Courses

Students are strongly advised to consider taking CMPUT 174 and CMPUT 175 in their first two years if they anticipate they will select BTM as their Major, and in any event, must take them no later than Year Three. These courses satisfy the requirements for electives outside Business in Year One or Year Two.
BTM majors must take either BTM 419 or CMPUT 201 . (The other may be taken as an elective.) While BTM 419 is a fourth-year course, CMPUT 201 may be taken earlier, and should be taken as soon as practicable, especially by students interested in the Computing Science minor. Some BTM students prefer a business-oriented background. Others may find it useful to develop a stronger background in computing science. The latter students should consult the Computing Science section or seek Faculty advice for appropriate additional course offerings and sequencing. Students must contact the Department of Accounting and Business Analytics early in their program for guidance as to appropriate and available coursework.
See Policy on Elective Courses .
Business Technology Management electives may be chosen from the following: any 400-level BTM course; CMPUT 201 ; CIV E 303 ; ACCTG 437 ; any 400-level MGTSC course or any 400-level OM course.

Students with a declared major in Business Technology Management are encouraged to consider choosing a minor in another subject area of Business, or in Computing Science [see Note (3) below]. See Minors for Business Students . See also Section III, BTM Concentrations.
Students with a declared major in another area may complete a minor in Business Technology Management by fulfilling the requirements of Minors for Business Students
Students with a declared major in Business Technology Management may complete a minor in Computing Science by completion of the following four courses: CMPUT 204 , CMPUT 229 , CMPUT 272 and CMPUT 379 . Students wishing to take this route should consider very early on how to structure their program so as to allow for the proper sequencing of courses and the obtaining of all necessary prerequisites, for example, CMPUT 201 is necessary for the above course sequence.

BTM majors or other students who wish to deepen their competence should consider focusing on areas of concentration. For BTM majors, these areas build on the required courses; for other students, they may form a useful related set of skills. Suggested concentrations will be set out by the Accounting and Business Analytics Department from time to time and students are encouraged to contact the Department for more information. Some example concentrations, which include some or all of the indicated courses, are:

Students with a BTM major are eligible to obtain a number of certifications from several professional organizations based on their education and experience. Requirements and applications for each certification are managed by each professional organization. Contact the Accounting and Business Analytics (ABA) Department for more information.
