Students desiring a stronger foundation in business are encouraged to consider the Minor in Commerce, offered through the UBC Sauder School of Business.  In the Minor, students focus their senior electives on commerce courses in organizational behaviour, marketing, business finance and strategic management.   This option enables students to develop their business knowledge and management skills, and prepares them for management roles and advanced business degrees. 

Interested students can apply in Term 2 of their second year (non-co-op students) or third year (co-op students).  To be eligible for admission, students must have:

• a cumulative average of at least 68% in the previous two years; and
• completed ECON 101 (or ECON 310), ECON 102 (or ECON 311) and MATH 100/102/104/180/184

Upon successful completion of the Minor, the notation "Minor in Commerce" will be placed on the student's transcript and degree parchment.
