Faculty of Business Degree Programs
Honours Bachelor of Commerce Program
The Honours Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com. (Honours)) requires the completion of 120 units, including specific courses from each level of the program.
The Honours Bachelor of Commerce allows substantial concentration in business subjects beyond the essential core of studies. Students must apply and qualify for the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program. Please see the admission requirements below to qualify for the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program listed for each year of entry.
Honours Bachelor of Commerce Program with Internship
The Honours Bachelor of Commerce with Internship, B.Com. (Honours), requires the completion of 120 units, including specific courses from each level of the program and successful completion of an approved 12-16 month full-time internship. Enrolment in this program is limited and admission occurs following Level II. The internship is designed to provide students with an opportunity to engage in a career-oriented work experience with one host employer, following their third year of study, for a period of 12 - 16 months. Students compete for opportunities with participating employers through multiple recruitment cycles facilitated by Career & Professional Development office.
Bachelor of Commerce Program
The Bachelor of Commerce program requires the successful completion of 120 units, including specific courses from each level of the program. The Bachelor of Commerce program provides students with the same core business courses as the Honours Bachelor of Commerce, but focuses elective work on courses outside of the business discipline and Faculty.
Integrated Business and Humanities Program
The Integrated Business & Humanities program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree. Students will be exposed to a variety of learning opportunities via coursework and co-curricular activities, with an emphasis on responsible leadership and management tactics for the changing global economy. The program also focuses on community engagement and sustainable business practices. The Integrated Business & Humanities program is a limited enrolment program and students begin the program in their first year of studies.

Academic Regulations
Student Academic Responsibility
You are responsible for adhering to the statement on student academic responsibility found in the General Academic Regulations of this calendar.
Access to Courses
All undergraduate courses at McMaster have an enrolment capacity. The University is committed to making every effort to accommodate students in required courses so that their program of study is not extended. Unless otherwise specified, registration is on a first-come basis and in some cases priority is given to students from particular programs or Faculties. Students will be informed of their enrolment periods and are encouraged to enroll as soon as online enrolment is available to them in the Student Centre in Mosaic.
Student Communication Responsibility
It is the student’s responsibility to:
- maintain current contact information with the University, including address, phone numbers, and emergency contact information.
- use the university provided e-mail address or maintain a valid forwarding e-mail address.
- regularly check the official University communications channels. Official University communications are considered received if sent by postal mail, by fax, or by e-mail to the student’s designated primary e-mail account via their @mcmaster.ca alias.
- accept that forwarded e-mails may be lost and that e-mail is considered received if sent via the student’s @mcmaster.ca alias.

Students enrolled in the DeGroote School of Business, in addition to meeting the General Academic Regulations of the University, shall be subject to additional Faculty Regulations.
Change of Program
Business students may be permitted to transfer between programs, or students in other Faculties may apply to transfer to a program in the Faculty of Business, provided they have obtained a GPA of at least 5.0 and have completed the necessary admission requirements as described on the Faculty undergraduate website. However, students cannot transfer into the Honours Bachelor of Commerce with Internship Program nor either of the Integrated Business and Humanities programs.
Exchange Programs
There are a number of official exchange programs offered to undergraduate students registered in the School of Business. The countries involved include Australia, China, Denmark, France,
Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, India, Ireland, Mexico, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Official exchange programs offer students the most inexpensive means of studying abroad as students participating in these exchanges avoid the foreign student fees by paying fees to McMaster. All students must be in good standing with a cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 7.0 to be eligible to participate in an exchange. In most cases, students who participate in exchange programs go abroad for Level III of their program. Students are only permitted to take one exchange opportunity, regardless of whether it is a one or two term exchange. Information is available from the Student Experience - Academic Office, DeGroote School of Business, Room 112.
Additional information may be found under International Study in the General Academic Regulations section of this Calendar.

International/Cross-Cultural/Language Menu for Students in the Honours Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Commerce Programs
The School of Business emphasizes the importance of breadth of knowledge. Students who entered Business I prior to September 2020 are required to take courses in a variety of business disciplines, thus giving them a sound understanding of business functions and their relationships. They also obtain exposure to international and cross-cultural issues. This will provide them with the knowledge needed for the world of global organizations. Prior to graduation, students who entered prior to September 2020 are required to successfully complete two courses from an International/Cross-Cultural/Language menu. Note: Students who participate in an official McMaster University exchange are required to successfully complete one course from an International/Cross-Cultural/Language menu prior to graduation. Students must satisfy the normal prerequisites for the courses listed on the menu. Students follow the menu requirements of the Calendar in force when they enter Business I, however, when a later Calendar expands the menu options, students may choose from those additional courses as well.
The menu for 2021-2022 is as follows:
Continuing Students
Graduates of a DeGroote undergraduate Business program, or one of the Engineering and Management programs may take, as part-time students, Commerce courses (to a maximum of 18 units), subject to space availability.
Second Undergraduate Degree
A student with an undergraduate degree will not be admitted or readmitted to any DeGroote undergraduate program. Such a student may wish to apply for admission to the M.B.A. program.
Credit Towards Professional Designations
Educational requirements toward professional designations can be met in varying degrees within the Honours and non-Honours Bachelor of Commerce programs, as well as the Engineering and Management programs. The professional accounting designation Chartered Professional Accountant (C.P.A.) is awarded by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario. The designation C.H.R.P. is awarded by the Human Resources Professionals Association. Further opportunities for meeting educational requirements for professional designations are available to students in all Business and Engineering and Management programs. Additional course work may be taken while in the program provided the student is satisfying all course requirements for their degree. Further units of credit may also be taken after graduation (See Continuing Students above.). Information concerning credit towards these professional designations can be obtained from the Student Experience - Academic Office in the School of Business (DSB 112).
Minor
A Minor is an option available to a student enrolled in a four- or five-level program. A Minor consists of at least 18 units of Level II, III or IV courses beyond the designated Level I course(s) that meet the requirements set out in the program description of that Minor. A student is responsible for ensuring that the courses taken fulfill these requirements. Those who have completed the necessary courses may apply for recognition of that Minor when they graduate. If recognition is granted for a Minor, a notation to that effect will be recorded on the student’s transcript. For further information, please refer to Minors in the General Academic Regulations section of this Calendar.
Qualifying for The Honours Bachelor of Commerce Program (For Students Entering Business I in September 2020 or Later)
To be considered for entry to the Honours Commerce program, students must have successfully completed Business I (as described in the Program Notes for Students who Enter Business I in 2020 or Later) with a cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 5.0.
Qualifying for The Honours Bachelor of Commerce Program (For Students Entering Business I in September 2016-2019)
To be considered for entry to the Honours Commerce program, students must have successfully completed Business I (as described in the Program Notes for Students who Enter Business I in 2016-2019) with a cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 5.0.
Workload
A full-time student must complete minimum 9-unit load in each Fall and Winter term. Advance credit and credit earned during the Spring/Summer term may not be used to reduce this load requirement. Such reductions will be applied as late as possible in a student’s program.
Students who wish to take more courses than recommended for a single Level of their program may do so only if their Fall-Winter Average in the immediately preceding review period is at least 7.0. Students registered in the final Level of their program are permitted to overload by up to six additional units during the Fall and Winter terms, with no more than three units of overload per term, in order to become eligible to graduate.
Deferred Examinations
See the heading Deferred Examinations under Examinations in the General Academic Regulations section of the Calendar for application procedures. Students who are in a precarious position with respect to achieving the minimum GPA or otherwise meeting the Commerce program requirements for continuation in the program will not necessarily be permitted to undertake further work before clearing deferred examinations.
Level I Courses
Students are not permitted to take more than 48 units of Level I courses in their program.
Level of Registration
A student enrolled in a program in the Faculty of Business is required to register in the lowest level for which more than six units of work is incomplete. Work of the next higher level may be undertaken only when necessary to fill a program load.
Readmission
A student in Level II, III or IV of an undergraduate Business program, who becomes ineligible to continue in the School of Business, may apply for readmission to their respective program in a subsequent calendar year up to a maximum of five years following the year in which the student becomes ineligible to continue. Readmission is not guaranteed.
Application for readmission must be made in writing to the Undergraduate Recruitment, Admissions, and Student Affairs Committee by June 30 for entry in September. This application should explain why the applicant would expect to succeed in the program if readmitted. Forms for this purpose may be obtained from the Student Experience - Academic Office in the DeGroote School of Business, Room 112.
A student who is readmitted after having become ineligible to continue in an undergraduate Business program must repeat all the courses of the level at which they became ineligible to continue unless specific course exemptions or credits are granted. The earliest possible term for readmission is the term starting in September of the year following the year in which the student became ineligible to continue.
Former undergraduate Business program students who have not been registered in an undergraduate Business program within the past five years, including those who were in good standing at the time of their most recent registration, must apply for readmission through the Office of the Registrar.
Reinstatement
Business I
A student who May Not Continue at the University may apply for reinstatement.
There are two categories of students who may apply for reinstatement to Business I:
- Applicants who have been registered in Business I within the past five years, have exceptional or extraordinary circumstances that affected their performance*, and have not been registered in another McMaster program or at another University during that time, or
- Applicants from other Faculties.
Integrated Business & Humanities I
An IBH student who May Not Continue at the University may apply for reinstatement.
Applicants must have been registered in IBH I within the past five years, have exceptional or extraordinary circumstances that affected their performance*, and have not been registered in another McMaster program or at another University during that time.
Students seeking reinstatement must complete the Reinstatement Request Form available at the Office of the Registrar. The completed form and the $100 fee must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by June 30 for entry in September.
*The application must clearly demonstrate extraordinary circumstances which caused inadequate performance and indicate whether the circumstances surrounding their academic situation have been resolved. The application should also include relevant supporting documentation. Reinstatement cases will be carefully screened and the evidence considered will include the student’s academic performance before and after admission to McMaster, as well as the nature of the reasons cited in the application letter and the accompanying documentation. Such exceptional cases will be considered on their merit. Reinstatement is not guaranteed.
Upon reinstatement, the Grade Point Average for a student is reset to 0.0 on zero units. If at any review after reinstatement the student’s cumulative Grade Point Average falls below 3.5, the student will be required to withdraw from the University for a period of at least 12 months.
Former Students from the Faculty of Business
A student who was previously registered in a DeGroote undergraduate Business program, was in good standing and did not attend in the preceding year, but did attend another post-secondary institution must write to the Student Experience - Academic Office to seek readmission. The letter should describe the student’s activities (academic and otherwise) since they were last registered.
If five years have passed since the student was last registered at McMaster, they should consult the heading Readmission in the Admission Requirements section of this Calendar.
Inquiries Regarding Academic Regulations
A student seeking relief from the School of Business academic regulations must apply in writing to the Undergraduate Recruitment, Admissions, and Student Affairs Committee with appropriate documentation attached. Guidelines for such requests may be obtained from the Student Experience - Academic Office, in the DeGroote School of Business, Room 112.
