For the official requirements for the CORS diploma, see the CORS website. This document explains how these requirements are implemented at the Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta. If you have any questions about the CORS Diploma, contact the U of A CORS Diploma coordinator, Armann Ingolfsson, PhD (armann.ingolfsson@ualberta.ca). To apply for the CORS Diploma, send a transcript to Armann Ingolfsson.
Note: The CORS Diploma is not a degree program at the University of Alberta, or at any other university. The following requirements only apply to students that are completing degrees (BComm, MBA, or PhD) at the Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta. Other Canadian universities have slightly different requirements, corresponding to the courses they offer.
Note: after each requirement, there is a list of the U of A courses that satisfy the requirement. When several courses are listed, any one of them satisfies the requirement. Other courses may also satisfy the requirement (for example OM 488 or 495, or courses in BTM, Computing Science, Mathematics / Statistics, or Engineering), as determined by the CORS Diploma coordinator for individual cases.
At least 7 of the courses mentioned below. Certain courses in other departments in the School of Business or in other Faculties may count, to be determined on an individual basis by the Diploma Coordinator.
