Introduction
Fanshawe's four-year Honours Bachelor of Commerce (Management) Degree program will give you a well-rounded education focused on effective business management. Through our business management degree program, you will acquire a strong grasp of business fundamentals in the classroom and build on that knowledge through hands-on experience and mentoring. This business management degree focuses on in-demand concepts such as sustainable business practices and effective ethical leadership from local, national, and global perspectives.
Your Learning Experience
A requirement for graduation is the completion of a paid Co-operative Education work term. This process combines your studies with paid, related work experience. Fanshawe will be there to help you find the right business fit for your dream. You’ll have access to consultants who will deliver classes, counsel and advise you as you move from the classroom to the real business world.
Upon graduating from this business management degree, you may be eligible to complete a Master’s degree program at many other post-secondary institutions or complement your degree with a graduate certificate offered by Fanshawe.
This business management degree is accredited by the Canadian Institute of Management. When you graduate you'll be well on your way to meeting the requirements for the Certified in Management (CIM) professional designation. You may also have the required knowledge to pursue industry designation(s). Professional designations often require two or more years of relevant work experience, or the writing of an exam, in addition to completing your academic studies. You may be eligible for the Project Management Institute educational component for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certificate.
Available in a traditional in-class format with September admission. A part-time, online (asynchronous) degree completion option is also available for students who have completed an advanced diploma in business or management.
The Honours Bachelor of Commerce (Management) degree is one of four areas of specialization including Digital Marketing, Human Resources and Accounting. Students will be asked to select a specialization when applying to their first year on the Ontario College Application Service (OCAS). Please note that the degree program has a common first year of study. Therefore, students will have the option to change their specialization before their second year of study, without extending the length of their program, if they choose to.
Laptop requirements
Please note, that this program requires a laptop. It is recommended that students use a PC laptop vs. a Mac laptop, as Windows is required to be able to load program-specific software.
