First year core courses
To graduate with a BCom you must complete the requirements of one of the 14 majors as well as core courses. All BCom students must complete five core courses (75 points) from the following: ACCT 102, either ECON 104, ECON 105 or ECON 199 (this is also a STAR course for senior high school students), INFO 123, MGMT 100 and STAT 101.
It is desirable to complete the core courses in your first year of study as they provide a good general business background and are prerequisites (required courses) for 200 and 300-level Commerce courses. However, it is possible to complete some of these courses in your second and third years depending on the requirements of your BCom major. All BCom core courses can be studied without a previous high school background in the subject.
