The primary objective of the Mount Allison University Commerce programme is to explore with students the nature of the business world, and thus help them acquire administrative knowledge and skills. The studies focus on the process of effective problem solving and decision making in the business environment through the development of management systems which combine quantitative analysis and human judgement. There are several Majors open to students entering Commerce . It is the latter option that is unique to Mount Allison and students are urged to give it their very serious consideration. Students may wish to complete a B.Comm. without major.
All majors are wide in scope and demanding in content.
The Commerce programme is designed to enable students to study in depth a major subject area and, through elective courses from other programmes, to pursue interests which might not be immediately applicable to the study of business administration. Honours Programme Honours programmes for the Commerce Honours programmes for the Commerce degree are available in Accounting and Marketing. The requirements for Honours in Commerce in these disciplines are outlined at the beginning of the Commerce course description section. Students in Commerce also have the option of completing Honours in a discipline other than Accounting or Marketing. Those interested in Honours in other disciplines should contact the appropriate department.
