Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce [Business]


Description of Field


The four-year Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce degree is a collaborative effort between Faculté Saint-Jean and the Faculty of Business. This program, unique in Canada, offers students the opportunity to obtain a fully bilingual Business degree in Canada’s two official languages. Students will complete half of their coursework at the Faculty of Business.

Students initially apply for admission to the Faculté Saint-Jean and are considered to be registered in the Faculté for the first year of the program (foundational year).

The Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce degree program consists of 120 units overall. Coursework is taken concurrently within both Faculties.

For more information, including program requirements, see Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce [Faculté Saint-Jean] .

Career Opportunities


Career opportunities for Bachelor of Commerce graduates fluent in both of Canada’s official language are many and varied. Students may have a particular advantage in government, large business or professional organizations with national or international presences or in any field relating to national or international accounting, finance, or marketing.
