What it isA Bachelor of Commerce is a four-year business degree where you study accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management. McMaster's program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at real companies. This program suits people who want broad business knowledge and practical work experience before entering the job market.Accounting teaches you how to record, analyze, and report on money flowing in and out of businesses and organizations. This co-op program includes paid work terms where you apply what you learn in real accounting roles, alternating with classroom study. It suits people who want practical experience alongside theory and are comfortable switching between school and work.You study the core skills needed to manage businesses and organizations: accounting, finance, human resources, and economics. Unlike a specialized commerce degree, this program keeps your options broad, letting you focus on different business areas through electives rather than committing to one path early. It suits people who want practical business knowledge but aren't sure yet whether they'll work in corporate management, nonprofits, government, or start their own venture.
