Bachelor of Commerce (BComm)

The Gustavson School of Business helps develop and prepare well-rounded global citizens. Their students are conscientious and passionate about driving positive change.

Their 2+2 structure begins with building knowledge and skills unique to your own interests. You’ll then layer in business acumen and real-world experience. This structure allows you to gain the perspective, experiences and knowledge to confidently launch your career!

Year 1 and 2 are known as your pre-core years, which take place prior to entering the BCom core (Year 3). The first two years of the degree are devoted to broadening your knowledge through a diverse selection of topics in social sciences, science and humanities. This means you’ll gain skills and perspective from a number of disciplines, helping you better understand business issues in the real world.

Year 3 is referred to as the BCom core. The core is taught in an integrated format and adopts a cohort structure. You’ll acquire foundational knowledge in accounting, finance and marketing, managing people and systems, international business and corporate sustainability and social responsibility. You’ll learn how to tackle business problems with an innovative and holistic approach, while gaining valuable experience as part of a project team.

In Year 4, you’ll have the option to pursue a specialization and go on an international exchange for one academic term. You’ll continue to gain professional exposure and experience through co-op work terms, and gear up to launch your career through a customized career preparation course.
