Overview

A UBC BCom will give you the broad range of business basics and the management skills you need to thrive in any career. With our diverse array of course offerings, you’ll have a chance to develop your critical thinking, creative problem solving, communication, organization and leadership abilities.

In each year of study of our program you'll take a combination of core courses and electives to build competencies in each area of business. In your third and fourth years, you’ll get to shape your own career path by taking courses that focus on one of ten primary disciplines.
