Bachelor of Commerce

A Bachelor of Commerce (BCom or B Com) is an undergraduate degree in commerce, accounting, mathematics, economics, and management-related subjects.

The Bachelor of Commerce degree is designed to provide students with a wide range of managerial skills, while building competence in a particular area of business; see aside listing. For a comparison with other business degrees, see Business education § Undergraduate education.

Most universities, therefore, plan the degree such that in addition to their major, students are exposed to general business principles, taking courses in accounting, finance, economics, business management, human resources and marketing. Programs often require foundational courses in business statistics and mathematics, and information systems.

Depending on the institution, a formal academic major may or may not be established. Regardless, a Bachelor of Commerce degree requires students to take the majority of their courses in business-related subjects, including the aside, among others.

The Honours Bachelor of Commerce (HonsBCom or BComm (Hons) or HBCom) is further advanced. The degree has a specialization aspect, analogous to the BBA, developing the student's business skills and/or providing in-depth knowledge of the field.

It requires additional academic courses to be completed, and usually with higher academic performance standards, and may also require a researched thesis component. It often serves as an abridgement (or entry requirement) between the undergraduate program and postgraduate programs, including the Master of Commerce (M.Com. or M.Comm.) and the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees.

It may consist of a four-year program or of a one-year program taken subsequent to a three-year Bachelor's degree; the one-year program is typically focused exclusively on a single subject-area.

The curriculum generally lasts three years in India, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, South Africa, some parts of Canada, and Hong Kong. The curriculum requires four years of study in Ireland, the majority of Canada, Egypt, Ghana, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
