Bachelor of Commerce - Majors

Eligible students can undertake majors in:

• Accounting
• Computing and Information Systems
• Economics
• Entrepreneurship
• Finance
• General Business Studies (see degree requirements below)
• Global Business Management
• Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations
• Management
• Marketing

To complete a major, students must attain a grade point average of 2.2 in the designated required courses.  

It is possible for students to double major by fulfilling the requirements of two majors (excluding General Business Studies). However, undertaking a double major may require students to complete more than the standard 120 credit hours required for the degree.   

To assist students, suggested course plans that outline the Year 3 and Year 4 course requirements for each major are available through the BComm Academic Success & Advising Centre.  

General Business Studies Major

The General Business Studies Major is designed to enable students to customize a major.  Students may not double major by combining another major in Commerce with a Major in General Business Studies.

In addition to the general requirements to complete a Bachelor of Commerce degree, students majoring in General Business Studies must complete the requirements listed below. Students should consult an Academic Advisor to help plan how to distribute these requirements throughout their program.
