Commerce
The honours programs in commerce are high-level management programs leading to a number of career opportunities such as work at the executive level, accounting consulting, management information systems specialist, business creation, and other areas and provides the basic instruction required to undertake studies at the graduate level (masters and doctorate).
Students may choose either an honours program with or without options, or a specialized honours program in accounting or in management information systems (MIS). All of these programs are four years and normally require at least 121 credits, including the common core of courses that are a compulsory part of all baccalaureate programs at the School of Management. (Please note that the specialized honours program in MIS has its own core.)
Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 4.5 to remain eligible for the honours baccalaureate in commerce programs.
Honours programs with or without option
Students wishing in-depth knowledge of more than one of the areas of study offered by the School may do so by choosing the honours baccalaureate in commerce program without option, or with one option. These possibilities provide more flexibility in course selection, allowing emphasis on preferred areas of study. The learning process remains very comprehensive and well-structured. It must be noted that students can take any of the honours programs under the co-op system during which, after the second year, study sessions alternate with work terms. More information is given in the section on co-operative education programs.
Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce program without option
This program provides the greatest flexibility in course selection. Without specializing in any particular area, the program still allows students to acquire a solid background in most management related fields.
Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce program with option
As indicated on the program chart, students may select among six options. These options are in keeping with the main trends of the business world today. By choosing this program, students will be able to concentrate on one specific area of study and maintain great flexibility in course selection.
Specialized programs: accounting and management information systems
Both of these specialized programs offered by the School of Management are models of creativity though
they adhere strictly to the requirements set out by the authorized professional associations.
Students interested in these programs will note that because of the high number of compulsory courses needed to meet professional requirements, it is best to decide on these specializations as soon as possible. In particular, the honours accounting program should be selected by the end of the fall session of second year and no later than at the end of this same year. Similarly, it is best to start the specialization in management information systems at the beginning of the first year; however, students can still choose this program at the start of their second year.

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce (without option) | 121 |
|
The honours baccalaureate in commerce program without option allows students to acquire substantial knowledge in management related fields without necessarily specializing in one of them. Students can thus receive instruction in areas as varied as accounting, finance, marketing, production, human resources, international management, management information systems, and other topics. This enables students to design their own program according to their career aspirations.
This degree is suitable to students wishing to enrol with an international exchange program because it is not always possible for them to specialize in a specific area while attending a university overseas. |

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce (option in e-Business) | 121 |
|
| There is an acute, global shortage of skilled personnel trained to develop electronic business solutions in a principled, systematic way. Organizations that undertake e-commerce often make radical changes in their business models, and offer new products and services in ways that were not envisaged or possible previously. A number of different forms of integration among or inside organizations have become feasible, for example: B2B (business-to-business), B2C (business-to-consumer), B2E (business-to-employee), in the areas of customer relationship management, supply chain management, and other areas. The e-business option is designed to integrate technology, business, and employability skills to prepare students for jobs in this burgeoning new field. |

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce (option in Human Resource Management) | 121 |
|
In recent years, the growing realization of the importance of proper human resource management has been reflected in the hiring of people with specialized skills in personnel management, compensation, labour relations, training and management development, and the use of organizational development consultants. The purpose of the program in human resource management is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the three management functions that have become most critical in modern organizations: personnel management, industrial relations and organizational behaviour. The program emphasizes both practical and conceptual skills to enable students to work in all areas of human resource management in both the public and private sectors.
The introductory courses in organizational behaviour and human resource management may have sparked an interest in the area of human resource management. This option offers advanced courses in the areas of industrial relations, collective bargaining, staffing, compensation administration, organization design and managing change. |

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce (option in International Management) | 121 |
|
The option in international business is designed to help students develop an understanding of the distinctive problems that arise in international business and to develop strategic decision-making skills in relation to those problems. Students also have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in a particular area of international management.
Compulsory courses study the global business environment, its general concepts and international institutional framework as well as the development and implementation of policies and strategies by multinational companies. Students should note that these concepts are examined from the perspective of Canadian companies.
Other courses examine accounting, marketing, finance and general management issues from an international perspective. Students also have the opportunity to begin learning a third language (other than English and French).
Students are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester abroad under our international exchange programs (please refer to the appropriate section in this calendar). |

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce (option in Marketing) | 121 |
|
| Our marketing program is designed to teach how and why people and organizations purchase and consume goods and services. Marketing is a system of interacting business and organizational activities designed to plan, develop, price, promote and distribute products and services. The study of marketing concepts has expanded to include an understanding of the environment in which buyers and sellers operate. Recent applications of marketing to formerly unrelated activities, such as political elections and promoting government programs and agencies, are introduced in more advanced courses for analysis and discussion. As a result of the increased breadth of marketing and the complexity and size of the decisions to be made, marketing requires a good knowledge of both the quantitative and the qualitative concepts, models, theories and techniques of the other areas taught within the School of Management. |

Honours Baccalaureate in Commerce with Specialization in Accounting | 130 |
|
Students deciding to specialize in accounting may also wish to join one of the professional accounting bodies such as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Certified General Accountants or the Society of Management Accountants of Canada. Many of the courses taken within the program may count toward a professional designation. However, some of the courses required by the professional associations are not necessarily required in the Universitys accounting program. Those courses can therefore be taken as electives or as additional courses to the program. Brochures are available at undergraduate student services for consultation.
Since there is a common core of courses in all bachelor programs of the school, a students decision to specialize in accounting may be postponed until the fall session or the winter session of the second year. The course ADM 2342 Intermediate Accounting I sets the stage for further studies in the area; students must take this course during the winter of the second year. |

This is a demanding program combining business systems and management principles with a sound knowledge of computer science and its application to the business environment.
Although it is preferable that a student choose this program at the start of first year, many students discover an interest in this area only after they have been exposed to it in their first-year course, CSI 1301. It is advisable to register for CSI 1100 as soon as possible during a program, ideally during the winter session of the first year. CSI 1101 is normally offered during the summer. The academic advisors can help students make this change, normally without any loss of credit. |

Co-operative Education Programs
At the School of Management, co-operative education programs are available for all four-year programs. This allows students to obtain a specialization while combining academic studies with practical work experience. Students enter into an honours baccalaureate where the first two years are identical to the corresponding specialized programs. Students must request admission to the co-op program during the fall of their second year of studies by September 30 (March 1 for accounting). At the end of the second year, paid work terms within an organization will alternate with study periods (same courses as the regular programs). The accounting program has three work terms. Students in all other programs must complete four work terms. Work terms are usually of a four-month duration.
Admission procedure
Step 1
Students must apply for admission online using the co-op Navigator before September 30 of their second year (March 1 for accounting). To be considered for admission, students must be registered full-time in the honours program to which they are applying, have completed all first-year courses and be registered to all courses in the fall term of their second year (or equivalent), and have a cumulative grade point average of 6.0 or more. They must also have Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status. Applicants are assessed on a competitive basis according to their academic performance. The applicant must be able to complete the required number of work terms in an alternating work-study term sequence approved for the discipline. Once admitted, students will have to maintain their full-time status during each work and study term.

Step 2
Students admitted to the co-op program apply to available positions and are interviewed by employers, who rate the students and rank them by order of preference. Students also have an opportunity to rank employers. Students and employers are then matched (according to the rankings) with their best possible choice.
Step 3
At the beginning of each work term, a student must submit a work term proposal to the co-op academic advisor at the School of Managements undergraduate student services office.
Step 4
At the end of each work term, a student must submit a work term report to the central co-op office. This report is due at the beginning of the following session.
Work terms
Length of work term: Normally, a work term lasts 15 weeks with a minimum of 13 weeks. The dates for the beginning and end of the work term are set by the central co-op office. However, to suit the needs of the employers and students, these dates can sometimes be adjusted when the contract is signed. Any change to the official dates requires the consent of the central co-op office.
Failure to report to the employer: If students fail to report to their employers or leave a job without prior approval of the office, they will be given an ABS for the work term and will be asked to withdraw from the program unless they can provide evidence of exceptional circumstances.
Registration: Prior to the start of the work term, students must register to the appropriate work term course code. Once registered, students can only withdraw from this course with the written permission of the central co-op office. Exceptionally, while on work term, students could be allowed to take at most one three-credit evening course with written permission of their academic advisor. Even for one course, students will have to demonstrate to the advisor that they are not taking this course to advance their program of study, and that they will be able to follow the sequence of work-study as approved for their program of study and finish with a full-time study term (minimum of 12 credits).
Co-op fee: Students pay a co-op fee from the time of admission and for each study and work term thereafter.
Strikes, dismissals:
a) Strikes: During a strike, students must immediately inform the coordinator. Under no circumstances will the University be responsible for any loss of salary.
b) Dismissals: If a student is dismissed by an employer, the coordinating committee will conduct a thorough investigation. If the dismissal is deemed to be without just cause, no mention will be made in the students file; otherwise, the student will be given a grade of F for the work term and be asked to withdraw from the program.
Work term reports: At the end of each work term, students must submit a work term report. This report is handed in at the central co-op office and is due at the beginning of the following term. The report is graded by the School. In deciding on a final grade (P or F) for the work term, both the report and the employers evaluation are taken into account. Students who do not submit a work term report will be given the grade INC.
Graduation requirements: To obtain the citation co-operative education program, students must maintain the minimum CGPA required in the program and obtain the passing grade on four work terms in the commerce and management information systems programs and three in the accounting program. Furthermore, they must be registered in the co-operative program from their admission until the final academic session.
Advanced standing: When a student joins a program with advanced standing, the coordinating committee must specify the minimum number of work terms which must be successfully completed by the student.
Change of session sequence: Students who wish to change their work-study session sequence must write a letter
to the central co-op office outlining the exceptional reasons for such a request.
Placement process
The central co-op office sets a deadline at each step in the placement process. If the student fails to comply with these dates, the office cannot guarantee the student that he or she will be considered for a placement during that session.
Seeking employment: Students are expected to seek employment throughout the interview process arranged by the central co-op office. Students must not seek employment directly from any participating employer unless they have the approval of the office. Any job that is not obtained through the central co-op office must be evaluated before it may count as a work term.
Student files: For those students seeking employment, a summary of their files will be made available to prospective employers.
Interviews and rankings: Students who submit a job interview request form accept to participate in the placement process and accept the position obtained by the matching process.
Any student who misses an interview without just cause may be withdrawn from the placement process.
Students are required to rank the jobs for which they are interviewed except as provided in item two. Ranking a position indicates an agreement to take the position if placed there. If a student refuses the placement assigned by the co-op office or wishes to withdraw from a work term report course without cause, he or she will be withdrawn at the end of the work term and will be given an ABS for that uncompleted work term report course. An INC, F or ABS is equivalent to a failure mark (zero) and affects the students CGPA.
Deleting job choice: After the interview period, students must submit their employer ranking form to the central co-op office. Normally, they may decide not to rank at most one of the positions for which they had an interview. In exceptional circumstances, the office may allow a student to delete more than one ranking.
Acceptance of employment: Students are notified by the central co-op office of a placement as early as possible. Students who return to the employer they worked for during the previous work term must contact the office before the deadline for submitting job interview request forms.
Probation and withdrawals
1. Probation: At the end of each term the co-ordinating committee reviews the performance of each co-op student. It will recommend to the School committee on academic standing that co-op students be placed on probation for co-op if they have failed to maintain a CGPA of at least 6.0.
Students who are on probation for co-op will be removed from probation if they show improvement by achieving a CGPA of at least 6.0. Probation will never be extended beyond two study sessions; students who may not then be removed from probation will be forced to withdraw from the program.
2. Withdrawals: Students who fail a compulsory course that is a prerequisite to a course to be taken during the following study session will be asked to withdraw from the program.
Students who have been asked to withdraw from the co-op program may be allowed to pursue the regular program if this is consistent with other School regulations. However, the citation co-operative education program will not be included on the students diploma.
Standings and appeals
All recommendations to withdraw or to be placed on probation must be approved by the School committee on academic standing. All appeals concerning recommendations of the coordinating committee are handled by the School.
Benefits
The work terms help students to gain experience in their field of study, thus making it easier to find a permanent job. The practical experience in a work environment enables students to make better career choices and, if necessary, to make adjustments to their program at an early stage. The team-work provides the student with the chance to develop communication skills and enhance maturity and self-confidence. The salary earned helps to meet educational expenses. |

| One important point to note is that the Ontario Institute of Chartered Accountants has accredited the co-operative program in accounting. This means that the 12-month work term in a chartered accounting firm will count toward the experience requirements stipulated by the Institute. |
