Bachelor of Commerce

A four year business degree with optional co-op, covering accounting, finance, marketing, organisational behaviour, operations and strategy alongside paid work terms with Alberta employers.

Bachelor of Commerce asks an unusual 69 percent, and the optional co-op is the part that matters most, because Canadian employers hire heavily from their own co-op cohorts rather than from open advertisements. At CAD 24,000 it also sits below the Business Management diploma at this same university, which is worth knowing before you choose.

Bachelor of Commerce is taught at MacEwan University in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, a public undergraduate university and a designated learning institution. Because Bachelor of Commerce is a degree it is exempt from the Canadian field of study requirement, so completing Bachelor of Commerce supports a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years without the subject being tested against an eligibility list. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application for Bachelor of Commerce, and the university issues it with the letter of acceptance.
