Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative)

This program leads to a Bachelor of Commerce (Co-operative), an undergraduate degree offered by the Faculty of Business Administration on the St. John's campus. It is a structured, full-time program comprising 45 courses (135 credit hours) over five years, beginning with a common first year known as Business One shared by all business undergraduates. Its defining feature is three mandatory co-operative work terms, in which students alternate academic semesters with paid work placements in industry, government, or private organizations, combining classroom study in business and commerce with applied workplace experience. The curriculum also includes non-credit professional development seminars covering career planning, job search skills, and professionalism, along with study-abroad and other experiential learning opportunities. The program suits students who want to build practical business skills and workplace experience alongside their degree, entering the workforce with direct exposure to organizational settings before graduation.
