Overview
The Bachelor of Commerce program prepares students for success in today’s fast-paced business world. In the first two years, students build a strong foundation in key areas like marketing, finance, operations, and human resources, while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. In the final two years, you will choose a concentration that matches your interests and career goals, allowing you to explore specialized areas of business in more depth.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the UBC Okanagan Faculty of Management requires English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 and Pre-Calculus 12 from Canadian secondary-school applicants, and the program-specific assessment is based on Language Arts, Mathematics & Computation and Social Studies grades. IB applicants present IB Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches at Standard or Higher Level, or Applications and Interpretations at Higher Level; Applications and Interpretations SL and Math Studies are not accepted). International applicants present the equivalent qualifications from their own curriculum: UBC applies the same degree requirements to international curricula, and applicants from an English-medium secondary school must also show at least 70 per cent in Grade 11 or Grade 12 English. Everyone must meet UBC's English Language Admission Standard - for example IELTS Academic 6.5 with no part below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with 22 in reading and listening and 21 in writing and speaking for a test sat before 21 January 2026, or 4.5 overall with 5 in listening, 4.5 in reading and writing and 4 in speaking on the 1-6 scale that replaced it from that date.
Application Details
Start Date:September 2027 - entry is to UBC's Winter Session, which runs September 2027 to April 2028 (Term 1 September to December, Term 2 January to April). UBC also runs a Summer Session from May to August, but not every degree admits to it.
Application Deadline:Apply by 15 January 2027, 11:59 p.m. PST, for September 2027 entry (Winter Session 2027/28) - this is UBC's university-wide undergraduate deadline and it is the same date for Canadian and international applicants, not a date set by this program. The online application opens in early October 2026 through EducationPlannerBC. Earlier dates apply only to major entrance awards: 15 November 2026 for international applicants (UBC International Scholars Program) and 1 December 2026 for Canadian citizens and permanent residents (Presidential Scholars, UBC Centennial Scholars Entrance and Beyond Tomorrow Scholars). UBC advises applying by the deadline because some programs stop accepting applications on that date; later applications may be considered but are not given the same priority. Document deadlines (transcripts, English-language evidence) are issued to each applicant in the Applicant Service Centre after applying.
