Program details
Overview
This is McGill's Bachelor of Commerce, offered through the Desautels Faculty of Management on the downtown Montreal campus. The program develops management competencies intended to prepare students for professional and managerial careers, emphasizing critical thinking, integration of knowledge across disciplines, practical problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, and comfort with risk. Its curriculum is described as combining a solid business foundation with flexible, interdisciplinary study, and it offers Honours, Majors, Concentrations, and Minors, including an Honours in Investment Management, an Integrated Management Student Fellowship, and a McGill Not-For-Profit Consulting option; students without a management concentration can take a Minor in Management or a Minor in Entrepreneurship. International exchange programs with partner business schools and study trips to international cities are also part of the program. The page describes the BCom as attracting top students worldwide and states that Desautels applies the highest admission standards of any undergraduate business program in Canada, though it does not detail specific eligibility criteria. It suits students seeking a broad, globally oriented business education with room to specialize through electives and exchange.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This McGill program page states no numeric admission threshold; it describes the BCom as having 'the highest admission standards of any undergraduate business program in Canada' and directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, applying to the Desautels Faculty of Management. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates enter directly from their DEC into the three-year program; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and normally enter with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
