The Bachelor of Commerce focuses on the development of basic business and managerial competencies combined with an understanding of globalization and its implications. The program is structured to provide comprehensive preparation for management positions with both for-profit and not-for profit organizations as well as the public sector.

The degree provides students with knowledge and critical understanding of commerce and management, and the ability to gather, review, evaluate and interpret information relevant to business and management. Key professional skills are taught: ethical business practices, presenting, writing, teamwork, technology, problem analysis, decision-making and research, including the opportunity to engage in independent research and practice. These skills are integrated across all courses in the program.

The program consists of three types of courses: core, major and elective. Core courses develop fundamental skills and abilities in business and management. The courses in the majors deepen knowledge of business within a focal area and the elective courses broaden education beyond business and tailor the degree to the student’s interests. The program will prepare students for graduate studies in related fields.

Human Resources Management major:

Human resources professionals provide advice to all levels of the organization on personnel management, employee recruitment and retention programming, selection of job candidates, employee professional development, negotiations, and more. Human resources professionals, particularly working with large organizations, are able to specialize in an area of interest like labour relations or human resources planning. MacEwan University has developed the curriculum for this major in line with the Required Professional Capabilities as established by the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations (CCHRA). Completion of this major prepares students for the National Knowledge Exam (NKE), a primary requirement of the CHRP designation, which also requires the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
