1.3 The Faculty Then and Now

The Faculty was established in 1968, incorporating the Graduate School of Business with the School of Commerce of the Faculty of Arts and Science, where courses in commerce had been offered since the beginning of the century.

Since 1971 the Faculty has been located at the corner of Sherbrooke and McTavish, easily accessible to the community it serves, in the Samuel Bronfman Building, named in honour of the late Mr. Bronfman who, while a Governor of the University, made a donation which was key to its construction.

The Faculty has gained a worldwide reputation as one of Canada's leading international business schools and attracts top students and faculty members from every continent. The academic programs in Management offer strong international content in conjunction with a variety of functional specializations and include an opportunity for students to participate in exchange programs with many leading universities in Europe, Asia, the United States and South America. This recognition of the global nature of business was further reflected by the introduction of a Faculty Program in International Management as part of the B.Com. program in 1997.

2 General Information

2.1 Aims of the B.Com. Program

The primary objective of the undergraduate program in management is to prepare students for effective professional and managerial careers in organizations. At a general level this preparation includes developing in students a capacity for critical thinking, for integrating knowledge across different disciplines, and for utilizing current theory in approaching practical business problems. Students are also expected to become comfortable with taking risks and working as part of a team, and to develop the necessary skills to lead others. At a more specific level, students must acquire the critical management competencies which will enable them to offer the expertise organizations need to respond to the ever-changing, increasingly complex global marketplace.

The B.Com. curriculum offers students both breadth and depth. Breadth is achieved through a broad-based core of required courses which provide the necessary quantitative, analytical, and communication skills, while grounding students in applied theory and practice across the major management disciplines. Depth is achieved through three alternate streams of study designed to meet the needs of a highly diverse student body with a wide range of career interests and priorities.

In Stream I, General Management, students pursue focused study in at least two different areas. They must choose one Concentration in Management, and for their second area of study, they have three options: 1) choosing a second Concentration in Management; 2) pursuing a Minor in another faculty; or 3) custom-designing their own sequence of higher level courses around a theme, with approval from the Area Coordinator of their Concentration.

In Stream II, Majors and Honours, students focus their study in only one area in order to get maximum exposure to their chosen field.

In Stream III, International Management, students have a chance to pursue interdisciplinary study of a particular geographic region of the world - East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Western Europe, or North America. Language, social science, and humanities courses are taken to expand understanding of other cultures and to gain the necessary perspective for an international business career.

2.2 Part-time B.Com. Program

Students taking fewer than four courses per term are considered to be part-time students. Such students generally follow their program through evening courses offered by the Centre for Continuing Education. Since the range of Management and non-Management course offerings in an evening program is more restricted than in the day program, it is not possible to complete certain Concentrations, Honours or Majors, or the Faculty Program. Further information on program requirements for students who change from the full- to part-time program, or vice versa, can be obtained from the Student Affairs Office.

2.3 Summer Studies

Students wishing to make up deficiencies in their background, or to accelerate their progress to the degree, may apply to the Manager, Undergraduate Affairs and Advising, to take summer courses either at this University or at some other institution. Credit will be granted for such work only if it fits into the student's overall program, and if written permission to do such work for credit has been obtained in advance. A course which overlaps with course material already completed in the student's program, or a language course which does not substantially progress beyond corresponding language courses already taken by the student, will not receive credit approval.

Each summer, from early May to mid-August, many Core courses and several elective courses are offered by the Faculty of Management for full credit. They are available to Management students, and to students from other faculties and universities with the necessary course prerequisites. The University also offers a number of summer courses in various disciplines at different levels. Information on Management summer courses is available from the Student Affairs Office or from the Summer Studies Office.

Students working full or part-time during the summer will be allowed to take only one course in each of the two Summer Sessions.

Students who are not working and wish to follow a full-time period of study will be permitted to enrol for more than six credits per period only with special permission of the Associate Dean or the Associate Director. In no circumstance will they be allowed to take more than 12 credits in either period of the Summer Studies, and may take no more than 18 credits in a single summer.

2.4 International Student Exchange Program

Students are encouraged to participate in the International Student Exchange Program to gain a broader international perspective. Through this program, students may study and earn academic credits at over 30 universities in countries around the world. Exchange opportunities are open to students in all streams.

More information may be obtained from the Student Affairs Office (514) 398-4068, e-mail: bcom.mgmt@mcgill.ca or on the McGill Website at www.mcgill.ca/students-records/exchanges.

2.5 Internship Program

Students wishing to integrate valuable hands-on work experience in their academic studies are encouraged to apply to the Internship Program. This program provides students an opportunity to work for four or eight months in a business environment where they can apply their theoretical knowledge into practice.

The program is very competitive and requires that students submit a thorough application and pass an interview. To be eligible, students must meet the following requirements: be registered in the full-time Bachelor of Commerce program, have a minimum CGPA of 3.0/4.0, have completed all core courses except Organizational Policy (MGCR 423), and have at least 12 credits remaining in the program. Students may register for internships starting in the Fall, Spring or Summer.

A student who is completing an internship appointment will receive a mid-term and final performance evaluation. After completing the internship appointment, the student is required to submit a written internship project report to the Associate Dean and return to McGill to complete the Bachelor of Commerce program. Students who have successfully completed the Internship Program will receive one credit for each four-month internship appointment, up to a maximum of two credits and will receive the Internship Program notation on their transcript.

The fees associated with the program include a $25 enrolment fee and a $400 internship fee for each appointment the student undertakes, as well as the cost assessed for each credit.

More information is available on the Web at
www.management.mcgill.ca under "Career Centre" or from the McGill Management Career Centre; contact the Manager, Internships Program by telephone: (514) 398-2071 or e-mail: intern.mgmt@mcgill.ca.

2.6 Scholarships, Prizes and Medals

For information, see Entrance Scholarships and Awards.

Registered students are automatically considered by the Faculty Scholarships Committee for each award for which they are eligible, with the following exceptions: Bank of Montreal Awards, KPMG Scholarship, Commerce '55 Scholarships, Export Development Corporation International Studies Scholarships, Stephen S. Goldbloom Memorial Prize, Hugh Howson Memorial Prize, Dr. Alex Paterson Scholarship, Paul-Hervé Desrosiers Scholarship in Entrepreneurial Studies, and STS Systems Ltd. Prize in Information Systems. For these, the Faculty Scholarships Committee welcomes recommendations, substantiated by curriculum vitae, from individual students, student groups and clubs. Such information should be forwarded to the Associate Dean, B.Com. Program. A minimum of 27 graded credits must have been completed in the year to be eligible; 14 credits in one term.

2.7 Management Undergraduate Society

The Management Undergraduate Society (MUS) represents all undergraduate students in the Faculty of Management and hosts a wide range of events, activities and resources, which add value to the quality of student life. Named 2001-2002 Faculty Association of the Year, the MUS offers countless services ranging from academic tutoring, fun-filled social gatherings to business contact opportunities. Through extra-curricular involvement with the MUS, students increase the value of their education and are provided with the opportunity to gain essential skills that are directly applicable in the business world. There are over 150 positions under the MUS that offer students the opportunity to get involved, meet new people and enhance their university experience.

Activities sponsored by the MUS include: Management Welcome Week, Management Winter Carnival, Management Achievement Awards Luncheon, Jeux du Commerce/Commerce Games, the AIDS benefit fashion show, the Cancer Auction, a Faculty newspaper and magazine, a yearbook and a Graduation Ball. The MUS is also the umbrella organization under which the McGill Investment Club, the Information Systems Club, the Marketing Network, the International Management Society and the McGill Accounting Society all operate. Each club organizes career information sessions, guest speakers, peer tutorial programs, social activities as well as other activities that complement regular classes.

3 B.Com. Program Requirements

3.1 Academic Requirements for Graduation

A student is graduated upon satisfactory completion of the full number of credits indicated in the letter of acceptance, subject to the curriculum requirements. For students entering with a CEGEP Diploma, the number of credits will generally be 90. Students from outside the province of Quebec who have not completed the equivalent of CEGEP graduation will normally be required to complete 120 credits.

All students are expected to conform to the curriculum set out below. It is the student's responsibility to make sure his/her course of study conforms with the curriculum requirements as described. A student wishing to depart from that program must obtain written permission from the Associate Dean.

A student who has transferred with advanced standing to the Faculty of Management from another faculty within this University or from another university, is normally required to complete a minimum of 60 credits while registered in the Bachelor of Commerce program, including such required courses as are deemed necessary, to become eligible for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce.

Completion of the 90-credit degree requirements normally will require three years of study. A maximum of five years is permitted, however, for completion of the requirements for the degree. In exceptional circumstances, this maximum requirement may be extended by the Associate Dean.

3.2 Academic Advising

Students entering the Faculty for the first time are required to attend an Orientation and Advising Session during the last week of August, at which the Associate Dean and advising staff (Helen van Eyk, Giulia Campofredano, Ron Critchley and Heather McCombie) from the B.Com. Office provide information on all aspects of the B.Com. program. Students who have had difficulty registering for their courses have the opportunity to resolve the problem at this session.

Counselling is available throughout the year with area coordinators to discuss study plans and potential career paths. Appointments may be made after the first week of class to discuss such issues.

In February or March, an Information Session takes place which enables the student to select a course of study.

In April, students continuing in the B.Com. program plan their studies for the following year by completing a Study Plan Form, using the requirements as listed in the Calendar as a guide to their course selection, calling upon their Area Adviser or other faculty members for advice where appropriate. Students then register on-line using Minerva at www.mcgill.ca/minerva. The Study Plan Form must be signed by one of the Advisers, Helen Van Eyk, Ron Critchley, Giulia Campofredano or Heather McCombie.

Students in Stream I choosing to do a Minor in another Faculty as their second area of study should meet with the appropriate department adviser to plan their courses and obtain an authorized Faculty of Management Minor Approval Form. Students in Stream I custom designing their own sequence of six courses as "structured electives" in their second area of study must get approval from the Area Coordinator of their Concentration before taking more than two courses out of the six required at the 300- or 400-level. It should be noted that Minors must have a minimum of 18 credits not overlapping with other program requirements.

Students in Stream II, Honours or Majors programs must have their Study Plan Form initially authorized by the appropriate Area Coordinator or Department Adviser prior to submission to the Student Affairs Office.

Students in Stream III should meet with the appropriate International Management faculty adviser(s) in the Faculty of Management and/or Arts, at least once a year to plan their course of study.

Students continuing in the part-time (evening) B.Com. program have their Study Plan Form authorized by Ron Critchley.

Students requesting general information about the program, or encountering difficulties (academic or personal) during the session, should contact Giulia Campofredano, Ron Critchley or Heather McCombie.

3.3 Registration

Course Selection:
Full-time students must register on-line using Minerva. Additional information for new students is distributed at the time of admission and is also available on the Faculty Website at www.management.mcgill.ca under Degree Programs - B.Com. - Accepted Students.
Information for returning students and part-time students is available at the B.Com. Office.
Course Change:
Students who wish to change the courses for which they are registered within the course change period must do so on-line using Minerva. Permission may be granted provided that such changes do not involve timetable conflicts or alter the sequence of courses. Students should complete and return to the B.Com. Office a Course Change Form after they have successfully made their course changes using Minerva.
Withdrawals:
Students wishing to withdraw from a course after the course change deadline must do so on-line using Minerva by the withdrawal deadline. A grade of "W" will be indicated on the transcript.

Approval to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline will be granted only in exceptional circumstances.

Students whose circumstances require withdrawal from their complete program should report to the B.Com. Office.

3.4 Course Overlap

Students will not receive credit towards their degree for any course that overlaps in content with a course taken for credit at McGill, CEGEP, at another university, or advanced placement exams, Advanced Level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or French Baccalaureate Diploma.

It is the student's responsibility to consult the Student Affairs Office as to whether or not credit can be obtained and to be aware of exclusion clauses specified in the course description in the Calendar.

3.5 Academic Standing

Academic standing is based primarily on students' cumulative grade point average (CGPA), but may also be affected by their term grade point average (TGPA). Academic standing is assessed in January for the fall term, in May for the winter term, and in September for the summer term. Academic standing in each term determines if students will be allowed to continue their studies in the next term and if any conditions will be attached to their registration.

Decisions about academic standing in the fall term are based only on grades that are available in January. Grades for courses in which students have deferred examinations and fall-term grades for courses that span the fall and winter terms do not affect academic standing for the fall term, even though they will ultimately affect students' fall TGPAs. Therefore, academic standings for the fall term are designated as "interim" and should be interpreted as advisory. Note that interim standing will not appear on external transcripts. Interim standing decisions are mentioned below only if the rules for them differ from those for regular standing decisions.

Satisfactory/Interim Satisfactory Standing

Students in satisfactory standing may continue in their program.

Probationary/Interim Probationary Standing

Students in probationary standing may continue in their program, but must carry a reduced load (maximum 14 credits per term) and raise their TGPA and CGPA to return to satisfactory standing (see above). They should see their departmental adviser to discuss their course selection.

Students in interim probationary standing may continue in their program, but should evaluate their course load and reduce it as appropriate. They are strongly advised to consult a departmental adviser, before the withdrawal deadlines, about their course selection for the winter term.

Readmitted Unsatisfactory Standing

Students who were previously in unsatisfactory standing and who were readmitted to the Faculty by the Associate Dean or the Committee on Student Standing will have their standing changed to readmitted unsatisfactory standing. Their course load is specified in their letter of readmission as are the conditions they must meet to be allowed to continue in their program. They should see their departmental adviser to discuss their course selection.

Unsatisfactory/Interim Unsatisfactory Standing

Students in interim unsatisfactory standing may continue in their program, but should evaluate their course load and reduce it as appropriate. They are strongly advised to consult a departmental adviser, before the withdrawal deadlines, about their course selection for the winter term.

Students in unsatisfactory standing have failed to meet the minimum standards set by the Faculty. They may not continue in their program, and their registration will be cancelled.

Appeals for readmission by students in unsatisfactory standing should be addressed to the Associate Dean no later than July 15 for readmission to the fall term and November 15 for the winter term. Readmission will be considered only when proof of extenuating circumstances that affected academic performance can be provided (e.g., medical or other documentation). Students in unsatisfactory standing for the second time must withdraw permanently.

Normally, supplemental examinations are not permitted; however, students in unsatisfactory standing may appeal to the Associate Dean for permission to write a supplemental examination, clearly stating the reasons for special consideration and providing proof as appropriate.

Incomplete Standings

Standing awaits deferred exam.
Standing Incomplete.

Students with incomplete standings in the winter or summer term may register for the fall term, but their standing must be resolved by the end of the course change period for that term; otherwise, their registration will be cancelled. Students whose incomplete standing changes to satisfactory, probationary, or interim unsatisfactory standing may continue in the program. Students whose standing changes to unsatisfactory standing may not continue in their program, and their registration will be cancelled.

Students whose standing changes to unsatisfactory and who wish to ask for permission to continue in their program must make a request to the Associate Dean as soon as they are placed in unsatisfactory standing. Readmission will be considered only when proof of extenuating circumstances that affected academic performance can be provided (e.g., medical or other documentation).

Students whose standing is still incomplete by the end of course change period should immediately consult with the Student Affairs Office.

3.6 Academic Distinctions

3.7 Examinations

The following is supplemental to that which is listed under Examinations.

Supplemental Examinations

Supplemental examinations are not offered in undergraduate courses administered by the Faculty of Management. A student required to improve his/her standing in a course must repeat the course in a subsequent term, completing all course requirements to the satisfaction of the instructor.

Deferred Examinations

Students should apply in writing to their Associate Dean within SEVEN days of the final examination for deferred examination privileges. If approved, such a deferred examination will generally be written within the next formal period for which there is an examination in the course. Special arrangements may be made where a student has an authenticated case of long-term illness.

3.8 Verification of Grades and Rereads

Every student has the right to arrange a meeting with the instructor to review the examination questions and see the corrected solutions. The instructor has the option of meeting with the student to answer any questions that the student may have about the grading of the paper, or alternatively, the instructor may provide the student with a sheet containing the correct answers to the examination questions. The student may review this in the presence of the faculty member or designate, but may not take the material away. Students must exercise their right to see their papers by the end of the third week of classes in September for preceding winter and summer courses, or by the end of the third week of classes in January for preceding fall courses.

In a case where a student feels that an error has been made in arriving at the final grade, a Verification of Grade Application must be completed in the Student Affairs Office, requesting the instructor to carry out a detailed check that all questions have been marked, and that the final grade has correctly been computed on the basis of the term work, final examination, etc. However, during the course of the term, any requests to have term work re-evaluated should initially be made directly to the instructor.

Students may apply to the Student Affairs Office for rereads of written course work. Rereads for computer-scored examinations are not possible, but students may request verification of their final grade.

The deadline for applying for a Verification of Grade or Reread for the winter and summer term courses is the end of September; the deadline for fall term courses is the end of January. There is no charge for Verification of Grades; students will pay a fee (which will be billed to their account) for each Reread. Verification of Grades or Rereads in courses not offered by the Faculty of Management are subject to the deadlines, rules and regulations of the particular faculty concerned.

When a Reread is requested, a second reader will be appointed, and will review the examination paper and several other papers in the same general mark range, and will be concerned with actual errors of marking, whether they be errors of omission or judgment. The recommendation of the second reader will stand, whether this recommendation involves an upgrading or a downgrading of the original mark. In a case where the original mark has been upgraded, the Reread fee will be refunded to the student.

4 B.Com. Program Structure

The Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) degree program is a three- or four-year program when taken full-time. It can also be pursued on a part-time evening basis.

Although the language of instruction at McGill is English, those who plan to be part of the Quebec business environment are reminded of the importance of competence in both written and oral French.

Normally, students may transfer up to one-third of the credits required in their degree program, including the Concentration, Major, or Honours requirements.

See Transfer Credits or the Student Affairs Office for more details.

6 Concentrations

In order to complete a Concentration, the student must achieve a grade of C or better in all the courses which comprise the Concentration. The student who has failed to earn 15 satisfactory credits will be required to embark on a new Concentration, repeat the course(s) in question or, where possible, to replace the course(s) with a satisfactory option from the Concentration courses.

In general, the student will begin taking courses from the chosen Concentration in the U2 year.

An adviser is appointed for each Management Concentration to assist students in choosing a Concentration and provide additional information regarding course selection.

Second Concentration:

Students who choose to take a second Concentration will be required to complete 15 non-overlapping credits at a satisfactory level with a minimum grade of C in each course.

6.1 Accounting Concentration

6.11 Strategic Management Concentration

Advisers:	Professors M. Graham and J. Jorgensen 

There are two options offered in the Strategic Management Concentration: Global Strategy and Social Context.
The Global Strategy option is intended for students who want to learn strategic management and analysis in the context of globalization. Globalization is no longer the concern of a few large enterprises and financial institutions; it has consequences that affect all kinds of business and the environment in which they operate - economic, social, political and ecological. Global Strategy allows students to assess the various opportunities and threats inherent in globalization, and requires them to explore the consequences and implications of business decisions for society and the environment. It also enables them to think through the requirements of doing business in different economic and political systems. Finally, it offers them the opportunity to understand and analyze industry structures and the kinds of business opportunities they either create or destroy.

The Social Context option is intended for students who want to learn strategic management and analysis with special attention to the not-for-profit, or civil sector, or who want to focus on broader or more complex social issues within the for-profit sector. The civil sector - made up of voluntary and non-governmental organizations and foundations - is the sector that has been the fastest growing employer for the past decade. Students who focus on this stream will be challenged to place a high priority on environmental issues, as well as issues of sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and social impact. They will also investigate the social tools and mechanisms necessary to employ cross-sectoral collaboration to achieve desired social outcomes.

7 Minors

B.Com. Program Minors Adviser:  Ron Critchley 

The Minor programs offered in the Faculties of Arts and Science may be taken in conjunction with any B.Com. program.

Students doing a Minor program must have a Faculty of Management Minor Approval Form, listing the courses being applied to the Minor, signed by the Minor adviser.

The Minor in Mathematics and the Minor in Statistics are detailed below. For all other Minors, please refer to the Arts and Science Faculty sections.

For the Minor in Economics, students must complete 18 credits of material which does not overlap with Management course content. A maximum of 6 credits will be permitted within the B.Com. program for MGCR 293 and ECON 230D1/D2 or ECON 250D1/D2, and a maximum of 6 for ECON 295 and ECON 330D1/D2 or ECON 352D1/D2. Students interested in this Minor must obtain approval from Ron Critchley in the Student Affairs Office.

Students should begin the Minor in Mathematics and the Minor in Statistics no later than the penultimate year and should immediately consult the appropriate adviser in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

Students planning to take the Minor in Mathematics or the Minor in Statistics are advised to substitute MATH 323 and MATH 324 for MGCR 271 and MGCR 272. Those courses will then count 6 credits towards the Minor. If the decision to take a Minor program is made after MGCR 271 and MGCR 272 have been taken, students who wish to take MATH 323 and MATH 324 will receive three new credits for each of MATH 323 and MATH 324; however MGCR 271 and MGCR 272 will count for a total of only three credits towards the 24-credit Minor requirement.

8.6 Major in Mathematics for Management Students

Adviser:	Professor D. Leisen, Department of Mathematics and 
Statistics, Faculty of Science 

This Major is comprised of 54 credits of Mathematics and related courses (15 credits of which are counted as Core credits). It provides students in Management with a sound mathematical basis for the understanding of the modern concepts of Management Science. These require a good knowledge of advanced calculus, analysis, linear algebra and statistics. Current research in various branches of Management Science also requires considerable training in mathematics.

Since management is, in part, a sequential decision making process, a good manager needs to be able to devise optimal strategies in a systematic and scientific way. Courses in stochastic processes, optimization, etc., will help to reinforce such skills.

Students entering the Major program in Mathematics are normally expected to have completed MATH 133, MATH 139 or MATH 140, and MATH 141 or their equivalents. Otherwise they will be required to make up any deficiencies in these courses over and above the credits specified in the Major. Students entering the 120-credit Management program would take these courses in place of MATH 130 and MATH 131 in U0, counting 6 credits as Freshman Program credits and the remaining credits as Freshman Complementary.

8.7 Major in Psychology for Management Students

Adviser:	Professor M.D. Lee 

This Major is comprised of 30 credits - 24 credits in Psychology and 6 credits to be taken in Management.

The Faculty of Management in collaboration with the Psychology Department, Faculty of Science, offers programs of study in organizational and consumer psychology leading to the B.Com. degree. These programs concentrate on providing an education in the fundamentals of experimental and social psychology. In view of rapid changes in practical methods and professional techniques employed by managers and professional consultants, broad training in such fundamentals is seen as excellent preparation for graduate school in psychology and management as well as for a successful managerial career.

9 Honours

B.Com. Program Honours Adviser:  Ron Critchley 

An Honours program is available in Accounting and in Economics, as well as Joint Honours programs in Economics and Accounting, and in Economics and Finance.

The difference between the Honours and Major programs is not one of quantity but rather of quality, the Honours program involving study in greater depth. Students must register with the Economics Department, Faculty of Arts, for the Honours in Economics programs. This will usually be done at the beginning of their U1 year but special arrangements may be made for students wishing to enter the program at the beginning of U2.

Graduation with an Honours standing requires a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and an average of 3.00 in the specified courses of the program.

9.1 Honours in Accounting

Adviser:	Professor R. Cecere 

The objectives of this 36-credit program are twofold - to prepare students for admission to the accountancy profession (CA, CMA, CGA) and to prepare students for careers in business and government, where accounting expertise is recognized as necessary and indispensable.

Students should note that although the program incorporates the academic and/or professional requirements imposed by the professional groups, the scope of the program is much broader. Courses are not designed specifically to meet professional requirements. Students entering the Accounting Honours program with the intention of proceeding onward to qualification as a CA, CMA or CGA should consult the Honours Adviser. Further information on the Graduate Diploma in Public Accountancy, one of the requirements for admission to the Ordre des comptables agréés du Québec (CA), may be obtained from the Faculty of Management office which administers that program. McGill's Centre for Continuing Education should be contacted regarding the Certified General Accountant program.

Entry into the Honours program will be by application at the end of U1. Acceptance to the program is on a competitive basis; students who apply must have a CGPA of 2.80 (B- average) in U1 with at least a B- in MGCR 211 and MGCR 213.

To remain in the Honours program, students must maintain minimum standards. A grade of at least B- is required in each course in the Honours Program. Students receiving a grade of less than B- in any Required course will have to repeat that course; if a grade of less than B- is received for a Complementary course, it may be repeated or another Complementary course taken in its place.

Graduation with an Honours standing requires a minimum CGPA of 3.00 (B) in each year of the Honours Program (U2 and U3) and an average of 3.00 (B) in the specified courses of the program.

10 Faculty Program in International Management

B.Com. Faculty Program Adviser:  Giulia Campofredano 

Students who choose this course of study take the standard 51 credits of Core courses but, instead of choosing a Major, Honours or Concentration, they focus on gaining knowledge of a specific geographical region of the world by taking a minimum of 27 credits of courses in an interdisciplinary area of study in the Faculty of Arts. The program also includes a minimum of 9 credits of 300 or higher level courses on integrative or international topics in management.

All students admitted into the full time B.Com. program are eligible for this course of study. Students considering the Faculty Program should take MGCR 382 in U1 to help them decide.

In order to fulfill the requirements of this option in the three or four years typically taken to complete a B.Com. degree, students should select their region of specialization by the Spring of their U1 year. An adviser from the Faculty will be appointed to each of the interdisciplinary regional areas of study to help students plan their programs of study.

Regional Interdisciplinary Areas of Specialization

Three areas of study are offered to all students: Latin America and the Caribbean, East Asia, and Western Europe (Germany, Italy, France, or Spain). Two additional areas of study (Canada and the United States) are offered for foreign students who come to McGill from other countries.

Students must complete 9 to 12 credits of language study appropriate to their regional area of study, unless they can demonstrate proficiency, in which case they must substitute courses taught in the language of their chosen region.

In addition to language study, a minimum of 15 to 18 credits of courses focused on the geographical region of choice must be taken. These courses are from a wide range of Faculty of Arts departments: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Religious Studies, etc.

A Term Abroad

All students in the program will be expected to spend one term in the region they have chosen to study. During this term they would be required to either:

Integrative or International Topics in Management

Students must take at least 9 credits of courses on international or integrative business topics. At least one of the courses must include an assignment which requires students to capitalize on their broad interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise gained from their study of a particular culture, as well as management.
