Combined Degrees

(Return to Top)

General Requirements

Students may elect to complete the Bachelor of Commerce degree in combination with another approved undergraduate degree. Five-year combined degree programs are sponsored jointly by the Haskayne School of Business and a second faculty, and lead to two Bachelors' degrees awarded at the same convocation ceremony. The program is comprised of a minimum of 50 half-course equivalents, including all requirements of the two Faculties.

Students wishing to embark on the courses leading to a combined degree are strongly advised to enter the five year program directly in first year. The admission criteria that apply to the singular Bachelors' degrees apply equally to the direct entry combined degree program. Early contact with the Undergraduate Programs Offices of the two Faculties ensures that admission and graduation requirements are met in a reasonable timeframe and within the minimum 50 half-course equivalents.

Students that are not admissible or defer entering the Haskayne School of Business directly may apply for combined degree admission in third year, upon successful completion of the twenty pre-commerce or twenty 1st Year and 2nd Year combined degree requirements (listed below). Fewer spaces exist for third year entrance into the business school however, and students are cautioned that admission is highly competitive and subject to the cut-off grade point average being met. Applications for admission to the business school in second year will not be considered.

Students already admitted into the Bachelor of Commerce and interested in transferring to a combined degree program, are urged to consult advisors in both Faculties for admission and program details.

For administrative purposes, combined degree students shall be registered under the Haskayne School of Business. Students may elect to remain in the combined degree or switch to either of the two separate degree programs, as long as the requirements of each Faculty continue to be met. Failure to meet requirements will result in a student being required to withdraw from the combined or separate programs, as the case may be.

The following templates are provided to assist students in course planning. Any Bachelor of Commerce concentration may be chosen in combination with those majors listed below. Students interested in pursuing majors other than those listed, must seek approval of the Associate Deans of both Faculties. A detailed plan, outlining how the proposed combined degree is to be completed, must be presented at the meeting with the Associate Dean of the Haskayne School of Business.

Combined BComm/BA (Humanities) Program

(Return to Top)

A major in the Humanities consisting of at least seven or eight full-course equivalents (depending on the major selected) is required.

Co-operative Education/Internship Program

(Return to Top)

Introduction

All BComm students are eligible to apply for admission to the Co-operative Education/Internship program. This program normally includes 12 to 16 months of supervised paid work experience in various private companies and government agencies in addition to the eight required academic sessions.

Students who wish to pursue the Co-operative Education/Internship option are urged to discuss their course selection with the Haskayne School of Business as early in their program as possible. BComm students completing the requirements of the Co-operative Education/Internship option will graduate with "Co-operative Education" designated on their parchment.

Admission

1. Prospective Business Co-operative Education students must complete a Co-operative Education Application available at the Haskayne School of Business (Scurfield Hall 351).

2. The Haskayne School of Business has a quota on the number of students accepted into their Co-operative Education/Internship program. Admission will be competitive, based on the student's skills and attitudes. Students may be required to attend an interview to assess their suitability for admission.

3. Students should refer to the "Admission Requirements: Bachelor of Commerce" and the "Co-operative Education/Internship" sections of this Calendar for specific admission regulations pertaining to the Haskayne School of Business and Co-operative Education/Internship program.

3. Applicants must have successfully completed at least nine and normally not more than 15 full-course equivalents appropriate to their degree program including Business and Environment 291, Communications Studies 361 or 363, Computer Science 203 and at least one third year Business course relating to their concentration (e.g., Accounting 317, Finance 317, Management Information Systems 317, Marketing 317, Operations Management 317, Risk Management and Insurance 317 or Petroleum Land Management 375) before their first work term commences.

Requirements for Transfer Students

Otherwise, Co-operative Education 523.04 may only be completed with the consent of the business school.

Regulations

In addition to the Haskayne School of Business's regulations governing the BComm program and the regulations governing the Co-operative Education/Internship program, the following regulations also apply:

4. Sequencing of work terms with academic sessions is a flexible process which depends upon the availability of work terms, length of work terms (four, eight, 12 or 16 months) and the student's academic requirements.

5. Students must end their Co-operative Education/Internship program with an academic session.
