北英属哥伦比亚大学

The School of Business offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Commerce. This program provides education in business as well as exposure to the liberal arts, social sciences, and natural sciences. The program offers students the ability to major in the areas of Accounting, Finance, General Business, International Business or Marketing. Although all students must follow the program of study of at least one of the specified majors, the Bachelor of Commerce degree program has been designed to provide students with an exposure to all aspects of the contemporary business world. The objective of the program is to adequately prepare students to deal with the increasingly complex and dynamic environment in which business and labour must operate. While the program focuses on a wide range of business activities and types of organizations, special emphasis is placed on industries and firms of relevance to the region of northern British Columbia including small business/entrepreneurship, tourism and forestry. Exposure to these industries will occur within individual courses as part of course content, as well as through the use of relevant case studies and practice. In addition, individual courses relating to the industries emphasized are available either within the Commerce program, or through other relevant programs.

Students in the BComm Honours Program must complete all requirements for the BComm in their major(s) of choice. In addition, the students must successfully complete 6 credit hours of COMM 497-(3-6) Honours Thesis. The Honours Thesis must be conducted under the supervision of a faculty member with PhD qualifications. Entry to the Honours Program takes place after the end of the second year of BComm studies (I.e., upon completion of at least 60 credit hours) and requires a minimum GPA of 3.33 calculated on the last 60 credit hours completed at the time of declaration to the Honours Program. Prospective BComm Honours Students must have successfully completed MATH 150-3, MATH 152-3, CPSC 250-3, and ECON 205-3, or their equivalents, before they will be considered for entry to the BComm Honours Program. Attaining a minimum GPA of 3.33 in the first two years of the BComm does not guarantee entry to the Honours Program, which is at the discretion of the Department. To remain in the Honours Program students must maintain a minimum Semester GPA of 3.33 to be calculated at the end of each semester and receive no grade lower than a C+ in any course after entry to the Honours Program.
