Program Structure
What are the differences between the two Options of the BCom?
General Management, as the name indicates, is the most general of the options. Students may combine a Concentration (Management specialization) with a second Concentration, a Minor (from Arts or Science), or an approved set of Structured Electives.
Major or Honours, offers the most focused study in one specific area. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits (ten courses) within this option.

Can I complete my degree in less than the normal allotted time?
It is possible by taking summer courses, or an overload, to accelerate the completion of the degree.

It is important to take into consideration that course availability in the summer is limited. Students may not enroll in more than 12 credits in the summer.

Can I complete my degree part-time?

In exceptional cases where health or personal issues require a reduced courseload, students may arrange to study part-time for a term or two but are required to work with an academic advisor to return to full-time status in a timely fashion.
