What you studyLaw & CriminologyAccountingBusiness StudiesFinanceHuman Resource ManagementAccountingBusiness StudiesEconomicsFinanceAccountingBusiness StudiesFinanceHuman Resource Management
What it isYou study law alongside criminology — the study of crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — in a combined program rather than pursuing law alone. This integrated approach lets you understand both the legal framework and the social and psychological dimensions of crime before specializing. It suits students interested in criminal law, policy, or roles where understanding crime's causes matters as much as knowing the law.A 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.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.You study business fundamentals across accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and information systems. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This suits students who learn better by doing and want to build a professional network before graduating.
