What it isYou study both business and mathematics together in one integrated degree, with mandatory work terms built into your schedule. Unlike a regular double degree where you'd finish one program then move to the other, you take courses from both fields simultaneously over five years, alternating between school and paid co-op placements. This suits students who want to combine analytical problem-solving with business skills and are willing to commit to the longer timeline and work requirement.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 business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.
