Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Commerce major centers on the function operations management professionals provide within organizations: analyzing data and behaviour to optimize processes, manage resources, and improve profitability and service. Students learn to use computer models, mathematics, process analysis, and business analytics to interpret data and make business decisions, and develop analytical and problem-solving skills applicable to a wide range of situations. The major is part of the Bachelor of Commerce at the Alberta School of Business, described on the program page as one of the largest such programs in Canada, offering five degree types and twelve majors alongside opportunities such as business incubators and case competitions; coursework is built around group and project work. It suits students who enjoy quantitative problem-solving and want to apply it to how organizations produce goods and deliver services efficiently. Career paths associated with the major on the program page include logistics manager, materials controller, operations manager, product forecaster, production specialist, purchasing agent, and strategic planner, among others.

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.
