Second Degree Programs
Agriculture and Commerce
A student can achieve both the B.Comm. and B.S.A. degree in six years or less by carefully selecting appropriate courses and electives in the Agriculture B.S.A. program. Students wishing to pursue Agriculture and Commerce should originally apply to the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
Arts & Science and Commerce
A student who wishes to pursue both the B.Comm. and B.A. or B.Sc. degree must complete the equivalent of a minimum of 150 credit units if they are obtaining a B.A. or B.Sc. Three-year degree or a minimum of 180 credit units for a B.A. or B.Sc. Four-year degree. Further, in order to meet the requirements of the B.Comm. degree, the student must complete at least 60 credit units selected in such a manner as to satisfy requirements in both colleges. Commerce courses may not be offered in fulfillment of any of the requirements for the Arts & Science degree. However, appropriately selected Arts & Science courses can be taken to satisfy the B.Comm. requirements. Students wishing to complete both Arts & Science and Commerce degrees can originally apply to either the College of Arts and Science or the Edwards School of Business.
Law and Commerce
The combined B.Comm./LL.B. program allows a student to obtain both the Commerce and Law degrees in six years rather than the seven years needed to complete the degrees separately. This program works well for those students who are majoring in areas of the B.Comm. program that require 18 credit units for completion. Students in a major that requires more than 18 credit units (Accounting, Biotechnology Management, Finance, Management, Marketing) should consult an Undergraduate Programs Advisor.
A student would initially apply to the Edwards School of Business and spend three years completing the core and major classes. Once a student has gained admission into the College of Law, they complete the regular three year program. A student would obtain their B.Comm. degree after successful completion of two years in Law.
Note: Following the program set out for three years in the Edwards School of Business does not guarantee entrance into Law as they have high admission standards. If a student is not admitted to Law, they would spend their fourth year in the Edwards School of Business and graduate with a B.Comm. degree.
