Students may elect to complete the Bachelor of Commerce degree in combination with another approved undergraduate degree. Five-year combined degree programs are sponsored jointly by the Haskayne School of Business and a second Faculty, and lead to two Bachelors' degrees awarded at the same convocation ceremony. The program is comprised of a minimum of 25 full-course equivalents, including all requirements of the two Faculties.
Students wishing to embark on the courses leading to a combined degree are strongly advised to enter the five year program directly in first year. The admission criteria that apply to the singular Bachelors' degrees apply equally to the direct entry combined degree program.
Students that are not admissible or defer entering the Haskayne School of Business directly may apply for combined degree admission in a subsequent year, upon successful completion of a prescribed set of pre-commerce requirements. Fewer spaces exist for transfer entrance into the business school however, and students are cautioned that admission is highly competitive and subject to the cut-off grade point average being met.
Students already admitted into the Bachelor of Commerce and interested in transferring to a combined degree program, are required to submit a Change of Program application and meet the application deadlines and admission requirements of the intended second Faculty.
In all of the above cases, early contact with the Undergraduate Programs Offices of the two Faculties prior to registration ensures that admission and graduation requirements are met in a reasonable timeframe and within the minimum 25 full-course equivalents. Advisors are available to assist students with course planning and program details.
For administrative purposes, combined degree students shall be registered under the Haskayne School of Business. Students may elect to remain in the combined degree or switch to either of the two separate degree programs, as long as the requirements of each Faculty continue to be met. Failure to meet requirements will result in a student being required to withdraw from the combined or separate programs, as the case may be.
Any Bachelor of Commerce Concentration may be chosen in combination with those Majors listed below.
