tradition of innovation and academic excellence. It is an experience
like no other, attracting the best and the brightest students from
across Canada and around the world. Small class sizes help build a
close and highly productive network among students and faculty.
The first two years of the program are comprised of compulsory courses that provide a
broad exposure to all aspects of business. In years three and four, students have the
opportunity to choose electives in their area of specialization. These areas include:
Accounting Finance Marketing
Human Resources International Business New Venture
Industrial Relations Information Systems Operations Management
In addition to the required courses and Commerce electives, students are also required to
complete elective courses in the Faculty of Arts & Science, in order to broaden their perspective.
From music to psychology to languages, the options are practically endless.
Leadership and Professional Development provides numerous opportunities to
develop and strengthen the personal skills required for success – from time-managementto team building, to career choice and job search.
Integrated Communications builds the written and verbal communication skills that
are vitally important in the academic and business worlds.
Certificate in Corporate Social Responsibility is the first undergraduate program of
its kind, offering an exciting experience-based integrated exposure to the field of CSR.
