Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Commerce major prepares students to diagnose organizational problems and develop solutions and implementation and evaluation strategies across core human resources functions such as hiring, training, and recruitment. Coursework is built around group and project work, consistent with the wider Bachelor of Commerce curriculum at the Alberta School of Business, which offers five degree types and twelve majors alongside opportunities such as business incubators and case competitions. The program is delivered primarily in person, in English. Graduates of the major are positioned to pursue the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation, described on the program page as the highest professional certification available to HR professionals. The major suits students interested in people management and organizational behaviour rather than a purely technical or financial business focus. Career paths associated with the program on the page include HR advisor, training and development manager, labour relations specialist, and benefits specialist, among other human resources management roles.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Alberta high-school applicants to Human Resources Management (BCom) need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, one subject from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences (options include Art 30, Drama 30, Social Studies 30-1, Physics 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, or language courses), and two further subjects from Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. These are the Bachelor of Commerce's general course requirements stated on the program page; no minimum or competitive admission average and no standardized tests are given.
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.
