Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) - Management Studies

The Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) – Management Studies is the broadest of Humber’s commerce degrees, for students who want general management capability rather than early specialisation.

Upper-year coursework covers strategic management, leadership and organisational development, project management, human resource management, operations and process improvement, change management, business analytics and decision modelling, entrepreneurship and business planning, and international management. The final year runs an integrative strategy capstone drawing on the whole program.

Breadth is a deliberate trade-off. Specialised degrees produce faster entry into a defined function; general management degrees suit students aiming at graduate trainee programs, family business roles or entrepreneurship, where adaptability matters more than a single technical specialism.

All Humber Bachelor of Commerce degrees share a common business core across the first two years: financial and managerial accounting, microeconomics and macroeconomics, business mathematics and statistics, marketing principles, organisational behaviour, business law, information systems, operations management and business communication. Specialisation deepens through years three and four, alongside a work placement.

The work placement is a graded part of the program, so you finish with documented Canadian experience and a referee rather than only a transcript.

Humber Polytechnic — formerly Humber College — is Ontario’s largest public college and a Designated Learning Institution (DLI O19376943122). The Lakeshore campus sits on the shore of Lake Ontario in south Etobicoke, next to Colonel Samuel Smith Park, and is home to Humber’s business degrees, media and creative arts, and social and community services programs. Heritage buildings, a residence opened in 2024 and a free shuttle to the North campus make it the most distinctive of Humber’s sites.

Its field maps to CIP 52.0201 (Business administration and management). Because this is a degree, graduates are exempt from the November 2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction that applies to college credentials. Full-time on-campus study and graduation remain the conditions, and IRCC makes the final decision.
