Commerce University Canada West

Overview

The  Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) program from the University Canada West is delivered through four tiers that progressively develop your knowledge, critical thinking ability and operational skills. 

Once you have built up your skill set, you will be ready for the Capstone courses that bring together everything you’ve learned into real-world projects, helping you to launch your career.

The Bachelor of Commerce program prepares you for a successful career where you will contribute constructively in a global economy. The program focus is found in a sequence of business courses. 

At the same time, it integrates communications courses to create an interdisciplinary degree that provides a sound background for work that includes the development and management of organizations. 

Team activities are an intrinsic part of many courses and build team skills vital for real-world success, as well as providing a collegial learning environment.

Elective Area - Accounting

Accounting skills are consistently in demand. The Accounting elective area, in combination with the rest of the BCom degree, will prepare you for entry into a professional accounting program.
