The Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) program for part-time students in the Desautels Faculty of Management has been designed to be of assistance to those students who, for various reasons, cannot attend the University during the daytime. The evening courses are offered during the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.
The B.Com. program accepts students with a wide variety of academic backgrounds. Admission is competitive with an above-average academic standing expected; decisions are based on the whole academic record. It should be noted that meeting the minimum requirements for admission does not guarantee acceptance into the B.Com. program.
Applications for admission as well as information on admission requirements and deadlines can be obtained personally from the Service Point, 3415 McTavish Street, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 1Y1; telephone: 514-398-7878 or from the website www.mcgill.ca/prospective.
Students in the following two categories (“CEGEP Diploma (DCS) Applicants” and “Transfer Applicants”) apply through Enrolment Services using the online application found at www.mcgill.ca/prospective.
CEGEP Diploma (DCS) Applicants must have completed, within the past five years, Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra (Mathematics - OOUN, OOUP, OOUQ or 201- NYA, 201-NYB, 201-NYC or 201-103, 201-203, 201-105) at CEGEP with a competitive “COTE R”.
Survey of Basic Mathematics 1 (CMSC 203) and 2 (CMSC 204), with a minimum of B+ in each course, may be completed at the School by applicants who have not taken mathematics at college but otherwise meet the admissions requirements. These courses are sequential: CMSC 203 is offered in the Fall; CMSC 204 is offered in the Winter.
The courses will not be credited toward the minimum credit requirement. Students accepted to the program on the basis of CEGEP will take a minimum of 90 credits.
Transfer Applicants (who have studied at another Quebec university) with above-average results must have completed, within the past five years, Calculus 1, Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra at CEGEP with a competitive "COTE R", or with B+ grades if taken at another university. Survey of Basic Mathematics 1 (CMSC 203) and 2 (CMSC 204) with a minimum of B+ in each course, may be completed at the School by applicants who have not taken mathematics at college but otherwise meet the admissions requirements. These courses are sequential: CMSC 203 is offered in the Fall; CMSC 204 is offered in the Winter. These courses will not normally be credited toward the minimum credit requirement.
University courses completed will be considered for transfer credit on an individual basis.
The minimum number of credits required to complete the degree will depend on the student's pre-university education.
Note: While a minimum of 30 credits must be completed after being admitted to the Bachelor of Commerce program, a total of at least 60 credits must be completed at ƻԺ to fulfil University residency requirements.
Applicants in the following two categories (“Mature Applicants” and “Inter-faculty Transfers”) apply directly to the Faculty using the online application form found on Minerva at www.mcgill.ca/minerva.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents who lack the academic background normally required for admission may apply directly to the Desautels Faculty of Management for entrance as Mature students if the following conditions are met:
All applicants must have completed the following two courses, CMSC 203 "Survey of Basic Mathematics 1" and CMSC 204 "Survey of Basic Mathematics 2", within five years of the date of admission with a minimum average of B+. (CEGEP Mathematics - OOUN, OOUP, OOUQ or 201- NYA, 201-NYB, 201-NYC or 201-103, 201-203, 201-105) with a competitive “COTE R”, or university equivalents with a minimum B+ average, are acceptable in lieu of CMSC 203 and CMSC 204.)
In addition, all students must do a minimum of six management courses (18 credits) with an average of B+.
