Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Commerce at University Canada West is a four-year, 120-credit undergraduate degree accredited by the ACBSP and carrying the NCMA designation from CIM | Chartered Managers Canada. The curriculum builds foundational knowledge of contemporary business practice, covering accounting, economics, marketing, organizational behaviour, finance, operations, and business law. Students can pursue optional specializations in Accounting, Marketing, or Technology Management, and may also take elective coursework in Human Resource Management or International Trade. Delivery follows a hybrid model, combining on-campus classes with online guided learning during the first ten weeks of each twelve-week term; a fully online version of the degree is offered separately. Students begin in a cohort, completing core courses together in their first term before gaining flexibility to sequence later courses once prerequisites are met. Through an articulation agreement with CPA British Columbia, students can transfer eligible credit courses directly into the CPA Professional Education Program, offering a pathway toward a professional accounting designation. The program suits students aiming for careers in accounting, finance, marketing management, consulting, entrepreneurship, or business analysis, particularly those interested in eventually pursuing a recognized professional business designation or a management-track role within a larger organization.
