Ottawa Sciences commerciales et Juris Doctor (Double grade – 6 ans)

University of Ottawa

The published admission average for Sciences commerciales et Juris Doctor (Double grade – 6 ans) at University of Ottawa is 85% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code OJD.

You study business and law together in one integrated six-year program instead of pursuing them separately. You earn qualifications in both commercial sciences and law (Juris Doctor), which means you graduate ready to work in business law, corporate strategy, or general legal practice without taking law school as a separate step afterward. This suits people drawn to both business management and the legal system who want a faster path to combining those fields professionally.

Plain-English summary. The universities publish requirements but not an explanation of the program, so this one is written for you and checked against the official listing above. Read the university’s own page before you decide.

What this leads to

The picture for business studies as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Graduates work in roles like finance analyst, operations manager, HR manager, and marketing manager in banks, consulting firms, tech companies, and government. Some go into business analysis, project coordination, and management accounting—jobs tracking money and operations inside organizations.

In its favour

  • Broad degree that employers understand and hire for across many sectors—finance, tech, government, healthcare, retail
  • Entry to middle management is possible without a second degree if you pick a real specialization (like project management or financial analysis)
  • Once you find a stable role, salaries grow steadily: median business graduate earnings are around $72,000 nationally, with experienced managers reaching $130,000+

Worth knowing

  • Entry-level job market is saturated and shrinking—business and marketing job postings dropped 30-40% in 2026, and you're competing against thousands of other graduates
  • Starting salary is low: new grads average around $52,000 in Ontario, and many spend months applying to dozens of jobs before landing anything
  • AI is already automating administrative and routine work that typically employs new graduates—data entry, scheduling, basic analysis—and the field hasn't created new roles fast enough to replace them
  • You'll need either specific technical skills (data analysis, coding, project management) or an MBA later to reach the better-paying roles, which means more education or career stalling

How AI is changing this work

AI is automating routine administrative tasks and basic analysis that entry-level business roles used to do, which is why job postings have dropped sharply. However, roles that combine decision-making, leadership, and technology (like project manager or business strategist) are more insulated because AI works alongside humans rather than replacing them. If you graduate in 2027 and can move quickly into data analysis, operations, or project management—or build real technical skills—you'll be fine. If you drift into generic administrative work, you're exposed. The degree doesn't change this split; your early choices do.
