Program Overview & Majors

The Bachelor of Commerce program at the Sobey School of Business combines strong academic study with direct and relevant hands-on experience. You’ll get a solid grounding in business fundamentals and apply what you’ve learned by taking part in case studies, undertaking consulting projects, perhaps qualifying for the IMPACT program and managing real money, or even starting your own business. You’ll leave well-prepared for a rewarding and successful business career in whichever field and specialization you choose.

The Sobey School of Business is AACSB-Accredited. This means our programs have passed rigorous standards of quality, and have been found to be among the best in the world.
