The Program
Queen’s Commerce is Canada’s most respected undergraduate business program. Founded in 1919, the program has a rich tradition of innovation and academic excellence. It is an experience like no other, attracting the best and the brightest students from across Canada and around the world. Small class sizes help build a close and highly productive network among students and faculty.
The first two years of the program are comprised of compulsory courses that provide a broad exposure to all aspects of business. In years three and four, students have the opportunity to choose electives in their area of specialization. These areas include: Accounting Human Resources Industrial Relations Finance International Business Information Systems Marketing New Venture Operations Management

In addition to the required courses and Commerce electives, students are also required to complete elective courses in the Faculty of Arts & Science, in order to broaden their perspective. From music to psychology to languages, the options are practically endless.

Leadership and Professional Development provides numerous opportunities to develop and strengthen the personal skills required for success – from time-management to team building, to career choice and job search.

Integrated Communications builds the written and verbal communication skills that are vitally important in the academic and business worlds.

Certificate in Corporate Social Responsibility is the first undergraduate program of its kind, offering an exciting experience-based integrated exposure to the field of CSR.
