NorQuest College programs and pathways
Edmonton, Alberta
Use program examples to test curriculum, transfer and experiential requirements.
Compare credential and sequence
Start with credential, duration, intake, delivery, admission requirements and course sequence. Business Administration is a four- or five-term diploma with general study and accounting, finance, human-resources and management options. The September 2026 course page says 20 courses are required for graduation and specializations are usually taken in Year 2.
Scope Business co-op conditions
Business co-op is optional and is not required to graduate. Co-op students add BUSD 1011 and BUSD 1012 to their specialization’s Term 2 courses. BUSD 1012 is restricted to Business Administration, requires BUSD 1011 and departmental consent, and lists 640 hours of paid work experience. It is not a college-wide placement promise.
Meet Social Work experience rules
Social Work instead requires six terms and two practicums totalling 700 hours. The September 2026 requirements include specified English grades and 100 hours of eligible paid or volunteer human-services experience with one organization during the prior five years. That experience must be completed before an offer; conditional admission is not offered for it.
Request transfer credit after admission
Transfer into NorQuest is assessed after admission to a credential program. Requests can take up to 12 weeks and require a named prior course, the requested NorQuest course, official transcripts and supporting documents. The same prior course cannot provide credit more than once, and an already attempted or completed NorQuest course is ineligible.
Verify transfer with the receiver
Transfer out remains the receiving institution’s decision. NorQuest says pathway pages can identify block agreements or possible entry years, but not every course counts toward a destination requirement and admission may still depend on prerequisites or high-school grades. Obtain current written advice for the exact destination.
Decision checklist
- Compare credential and sequence.
