Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Commerce major combines coursework in economics and law to examine how economic and legal factors shape business decisions and the wider business environment, including how the law affects businesses and institutions. The major is described on the program page as unique to the Alberta School of Business, and coursework is built around group and project work, in keeping with the wider Bachelor of Commerce curriculum. It is intended to prepare graduates for management, planning, and policy-making roles in organizations of any size across the private and public sectors, and is also positioned as suitable preparation for students who intend to pursue advanced degrees in law, management, or public administration. The program suits students interested in the intersection of business, regulation, and public policy rather than a purely operational or technical business focus. Career paths associated with the major on the program page include accountant, auditor, business analyst, consultant, economic analyst, economist, financial analyst, government official, operations manager, policy analyst, and project manager.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
