Commerce
The Commerce concentration of Social Science at Marianopolis introduces students to the world of business. Commerce students take several courses in economics and administration in which they explore how organizations function, learn about workplace dynamics, and develop a more thorough understanding of financial systems.
Students in the Commerce concentration can apply to Honours after their first semester and are selected based on their academic standing and a letter of intent. Students in the Honours Distinction are enrolled in enriched sections of certain courses and engage more deeply with their program through various activities, including special guest lectures, site visits, group seminars, and social events. Information sessions will be held during the Fall semester to inform students about how to apply.
WHO SHOULD TAKE IT?
If you are interested in the world of business, administration, and finance, if you are curious about the inner workings of organizations, if you want to apply your math skills to solve real world problems or learn how to become an entrepreneur, then Commerce at Marianopolis is for you.
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
The Commerce concentration is a great stepping stone for a wide variety of university programs, including studies in Management, Accounting, Marketing, Finance and Economics.
Mandatory mathematics courses give you the prerequisites you need to apply for business and administration programs in university.
