The Edwards School of Business is a great place to study business in Western Canada. Saskatoon is a vibrant community with a thriving economy and we are committed to providing an outstanding experience to students from around the world.
Students returning to the program after an absence of five years or more will be placed under the curriculum requirements in effect on the date that the student is readmitted to the School. In 2006 and thereafter, upon first admission to the Edwards School of Business, students must complete the degree requirements within a ten (10) year time period. Under exceptional circumstances, the School may grant an extension. The Course & Program Catalogue material details the new course offerings and the revised program which should be followed by all newly admitted students.
The curriculum exposes students to important business issues starting in the first year of study. Newly admitted students will have a more integrated first year experience with wider exposure to management concepts in key areas such as organizational behaviour, business communications, and decision making. Students entering their third year will specialize in one of six majors and conclude their fourth year with a business policy and a management skills class.
Majors
A student can major in one of six fields: Accounting (24 credit units), Finance (21 credit units), Human Resources (24 credit units), Management (30 credit units), Marketing (21 credit units) or Operations Management (18 credit units). Each major has certain required courses, while some also have elective courses which can be selected from a specified list. Entrance restrictions have been placed on four of the majors (Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing) with the criterion being academic performance. All students must apply for acceptance to a major through program planning in February of their second year.
Electives
Senior elective credit units vary depending on the major: 12 credit units for Management; 18 credit units for Accounting and Human Resources; 21 credit units for Finance and Marketing; and 24 credit units for Operations Management. Senior electives may be chosen from Commerce courses (300-level and higher) or non-Commerce courses (200-level and higher) but students must have met the necessary prerequisites. The prerequisites may, in some cases, be junior courses which will not count towards the Bachelor of Commerce degree.

Business Co-operative Education Program
The Edwards School of Business
offers the Business Co-operative Education Program (BCEP) for
third-year Bachelor of Commerce students. Co-operative education
programs are designed to integrate classroom studies with related work
experience in a student’s academic field of study. In addition to
fulfilling the academic requirements of the School, Co-op students will
be required to successfully complete two consecutive four-month work
placements and a series of non-credit workshops held after admission to
the program, but prior to the first work term. The goal of the
workshops is to provide the students with the appropriate tools to
successfully secure a work placement.
The BCEP is a pass/fail
non-credit program, offered in term two of the third year of study and
the following summer of a student’s program. Students are required to
apply for admission to the program in January of their second year. Admission requirements include a
combination of minimum academic standards, application documents and an
interview. Entrance to the program will be competitive. For more
information, contact Edwards Career Services in the Edwards School of Business.
Honours Program Option
The Edwards School of Business offers the Honours program to provide
students of proven academic ability with an opportunity to pursue a
more advanced program of studies in one of the following areas:
Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Management, Marketing, or
Operations Management.
A student in an Honours program must
fulfill all the requirements of the regular 120 credit-unit program,
including the requirements for the major in the honours field. All
students must substitute the 6 credit unit Honours Seminar for 6 credit
units of senior electives. The Honours program consists of an
independent research project completed in consultation with a faculty
member.
Students may enter an Honours program only with the
permission of the Department Head in consultation with members of the
department. Formal admission is not granted until the end of the
students' third year, i.e., following the successful completion of 90
credit units* taken in accordance with the curriculum of the Bachelor
of Commerce program. However, students should make formal application
for admission during program planning in February of their third year.
At the time of admission, the student must have a Cumulative Weighted
Average of 70% and a weighted average of 70% in courses (including
core) in the honours field.
The recommendation for the granting
of a degree with Honours or High Honours will come from the department
of the honours field. To be granted Honours, a student must maintain a
Cumulative Weighted Average of 70% and a weighted average of 70% in
courses in the honours field (includes the Honours Seminar). To be
granted High Honours, a student must maintain a Cumulative Weighted
Average of 80% and a weighted average of 80% in courses in the honours
field (includes the Honours Seminar).
Honours or High Honours
may be denied if the student's performance in the honours year is
deemed to be below acceptable standards. Students who fail to maintain
the standard of performance expected of an honours student, but who
otherwise complete the regular program requirements of the college,
will be awarded the regular Bachelor of Commerce degree.
* This
may be reduced to a minimum of 72 credit units for students entering
their final Regular Session who intend to complete no more than 18
credit units in the following Spring and Summer Session.
Academic Performance Standards
1. Eligibility requirements to be awarded the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.) degree:
Students
will be eligible for the Bachelor of Commerce degree if they have
passed the program courses prescribed by the Edwards School of Business
and achieved sufficiently high standing in these courses to meet each
of the averages as follows:
- Cumulative Weighted Average of 60% on all courses required for B.Comm. degree completion
- Current year weighted average of 60% on Fall and Winter Term and Spring and Summer Term courses
- Weighted average of 60% in the courses taken to meet the requirements for a major.
2. Yearly requirements:
Students are required to maintain
a yearly weighted average of at least 60%. Students who do not fulfill
this requirement will be assigned a Faculty Action as follows:
- A first year student will be Required to Discontinue studies
in the Edwards School of Business for at least one academic year;
re-apply for admission; and if re-admitted at a later date repeat all
courses in which a grade less than 60% was obtained. A first year
student may attend Spring and Summer Terms ONLY in an attempt to raise
their average and clear their faculty action. The student must repeat
the course(s) in which a grade of less than 60% was earned and raise
the weighted average to 62%. For purposes of the average calculation,
the grade(s) obtained at Spring and Summer Terms will be substituted
for the original grade(s).
- An upper-year student who has not had a previous faculty action
will be assigned a Repeat Year Action, and will be required to repeat
or substitute (with permission) all courses in which a grade of less
than 60% was obtained in that year. An upper-year student may attend
Spring and Summer Terms in an attempt to raise their average and clear
their faculty action. The student must repeat or substitute (with
permission) the course(s) in which a grade of less than 60% was earned
and raise the weighted average to 62%. For purposes of the average
calculation, the grade(s) obtained at Spring and Summer Terms will be
substituted for the original grade(s). If the 62% average is obtained,
the faculty action will be removed and credit restored for those grades
less than 60%. If the 62% average is not obtained, courses must be
repeated in the next academic year.
- An upper-year student who has had a previous faculty action in any college will be Required to Discontinue
studies in the School for at least one year; re-apply for admission;
and if re-admitted to the Edwards School of Business they will be
required to repeat or substitute (with permission) all courses in which
a grade of less than 60% was obtained in that year. Students are rarely
re-admitted after a second faculty action. Consult the Edwards School of Business
Undergraduate Programs Office for further information.
- If a student with a faculty action attempts to clear the action by repeating courses at Spring and Summer Terms and is not successful in removing the action, those courses taken will be included in the subsequent academic year's average.
- A student who fails 50 percent or more of the courses attempted in any one academic year will be Required to Discontinue.
3. The Edwards School of Business Regulations on Examinations and Academic Performance
should be examined for specific cases such as: eligibility for
supplemental examinations; requirements for students taking less than
30 credit units; the effect of courses dropped during the year or taken
during Spring and Summer Terms on the calculation of the year's
average; requirements for final year students who fail to meet the
average requirements, etc.
Degree with Distinction
Students who have a Cumulative Weighted Average in courses taken at the
University of Saskatchewan and credited towards the Bachelor of
Commerce degree that is 75% or over but less than 80% are awarded their
degree with Distinction; those who have a Cumulative Weighted Average
that is 80% or over are awarded their degree with Great Distinction.
For
students in the B.Comm./JD Second Degree Program, the average
requirement must be achieved in the 90 credit units taken at the
Edwards School of Business and in the grades earned in the second year
of Law.
Dean's Honour Roll
Once a year, the Dean of Edwards School of Business honours those
students who have a yearly weighted average of 75% or higher by sending
them a letter of congratulations on their academic performance.
Recognition of this accomplishment is posted annually on the Dean’s
Honour Roll plaque displayed within the School. Upon graduation,
students who have received this honour are recognized with a
certificate.
The Dean’s Honour Roll is given to:
- First, second, and third year students who earned an average of 75%
or higher on at least 24 credit units taken during the academic year
(September to April)
- Fourth year students (spring graduates) who earned an average of 75% or higher on at least 15 credit units
- Fourth year students (fall graduates) who earned an average of 75% or higher on at least 24 credit units
- Students in study abroad programs can be considered for the Dean’s
Honour Roll providing they have completed 24 credit units or more
between the University of Saskatchewan classes and study abroad
classes. An average will be calculated using only the University of
Saskatchewan classes and must be 75% or higher.
- Students enrolled in the Business Co-operative Education Program
are considered if they take at least 24 credits between September and
April each academic year (COMM 380.0 will be considered as 15
credits). The average is calculated on Term 1 grades only.
Supplemental Examinations
1. Only students in their graduating year will be granted supplemental examinations.
2.
Supplemental examinations will only be considered in courses taught in
the Edwards School of Business, and for which there is a final
examination, in the case where the student has received 40 to 49
percent. Students wishing to obtain supplemental privileges under this
provision must make application, in writing, to the Edwards School of
Business Undergraduate Studies Committee.
3. For courses taught by another college, the supplemental examination regulations of that college will prevail.
4.
Supplemental examinations will be accorded the same weight as the
regular examination in the recomputation of the student’s final grade.
The maximum final grade that a student may obtain as the result of a
supplemental examination is a pass. This will be recorded in the
student’s average as a 50 percent.
Study Abroad Opportunities
Bachelor of Commerce students proceeding to third and fourth year have
the opportunity to make application to study abroad for one semester
and have the classes applied towards the B.Comm. degree. There are
opportunities to study in locations including Austria, Australia, Czech
Republic, Finland, France, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Thailand and the
United States. If you are interested in studying at one of these
universities to increase your global and cultural awareness, please
contact a Programs Advisor in the Edwards School of Business
Undergraduate Office.
For information on study abroad opportunities at the University of Saskatchewan, please visit the Go Abroad website.
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./J.D. 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. The Edwards School of Business
will exempt B.Comm. students from up to 30 credit units of electives.
Specific course exemptions may vary according to major. Students should
consult an Undergraduate Programs advisor for details.
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 this college has 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.
Graduate Programs
Three graduate programs in the Business area are offered in the College of Graduate Studies and Research,
leading to the degrees of Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.),
Master of Professional Accounting (M.P.Acc.) and Master of Science
(M.Sc.).
M.B.A.
The Edwards MBA values accessibility and a high
academic experience. Students develop an approach to management that is both
integrative and strategic, gaining a deeper understanding of organizations and
their local and global context. By enhancing their interpersonal communication,
team building and leadership skills, graduates enter their professional
endeavors with confidence, integrity and accountability.
The Edwards MBA can be completed in only 12
months if taken full time, or part time in up to 36 months. Its intensive and highly integrated format
will develop a student’s management ability in an applied and useful way. More
than that, students will learn the people skills of management such as how to
manage themselves, how to communicate effectively and how to lead.
A decidedly unique aspect of this innovative
MBA program is the focused learning and integration of business concepts. Each course is offered consecutively in a
modular format. Courses are scheduled
in three week durations creating an intensive learning environment that immerses
students in the subject area while allowing flexibility in scheduling your MBA
education. Furthermore, our students
learn how business concepts are integrated into business decisions through a
combination of applied courses, exercises, case studies and projects
incorporating each functional business area.
Prospective students seeking more information
about the Master of Business Administration program at the Edwards School of
Business are invited to visit the Edwards MBA website at www.edwardsmba.ca or e-mail mba@edwards.usask.ca.
M.P.Acc.
The
M.P.Acc. program is designed to prepare candidates as professional
accountants in public practice and industry. The program consists of
eleven courses taken over two consecutive summer semesters (May through
August). The courses include advanced study in accounting, assurance
and taxation, and expose candidates to financial and strategic
management, the modern business environment, information systems and
entrepreneurship. A key component of the program is a research project,
which is completed in a relevant subject area chosen by the candidate.
The program also develops candidates’ personal and professional
competencies such as ethical behaviour, independence, integrity,
critical thinking, strategic problem solving, and written and verbal
communication skills through a series of workshops and seminars.
Successful
candidates are prepared to challenge professional accounting qualifying
examinations (i.e. the Chartered Accountants’ Uniform Evaluation UFE).
Candidates often obtain business and accounting work experience during
the eight-month period between summer semesters, however this is not a
requirement of the program.
M.Sc.
The M.Sc.
program offered in the area of Accounting represents an intensive
analysis of the discipline. Course work and thesis are directed towards
an examination of the current status and the evolution of accounting
thought as well as that of various organizations and structures which
the profession has developed. The level of course work will assume that
students have a very strong background in accounting. Candidates for
admission should be at a minimum either undergraduate accounting majors
or professional accountants. Enrolment will be restricted to four or
five students per year. Students interested in this program should
consult the Director of the M.Sc. program in the Accounting Department.
Note: For 2012-2013, applications are not being accepted for the M.Sc. in Accounting program.
The
Master of Science in Finance Program (M.Sc. in Finance) offered by the
Department of Finance and Management Science, provides students with a
theoretical background in contemporary finance issues and a strong
foundation in empirical methods. The program can be used as a platform
for students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. and it equips students with a
competitive advantage in jobs that have a significant research
component.
The
two-year program features seminars and lectures in a small class size
setting. A thesis is required in the second year. Due to the research
intensive nature of the program and individual student supervision at
the thesis stage, enrolment is limited. Only a handful of universities
across North America offer programs that have a similar focus on financial research at the Master’s level.
Prospective students requiring more information about our program are invited to visit the M.Sc. in Finance website at www.edwards.usask.ca/programs/mscfinance or email the Director of the Master of Science in Finance program at mscfinance@edwards.usask.ca.

participants for PMP Certification and the PMI Exam. The Masters Certificate in Business Analysis
(MCBA) follows the same format as the MCPM and is aligned with the
latest draft of the IIBA Body of Knowledge and will help prepare
candidates for IIBA certification. The three-day Business Analyst’s Course
is recommended for anyone who interfaces with the Business Analyst
function or who directs systems or business development teams. This is
a practical course and covers planning, gathering, communicating and
documenting End User Requirements. The other three-day course is The Project Management Course
which takes a comprehensive view of "the total project", from the
planning and organizational stages to the actual implementation stage
with special emphasis placed on control and continuous improvement.
This is an ideal overview for anyone directly or indirectly involved in
project development. In addition, BAS has a two-day introductory
Microsoft Project software training workshop, Using Microsoft Project, showing you how to use your computer to monitor every phase of your current and future projects.
The Edwards School of Business, BAS in partnership with The Pacific Institute presents Investment in Excellence.
This four day, two module course is for business leaders who wish to

A student can major in one of six fields: Accounting (24 credit units), Finance (21 credit units), Human Resources (24 credit units), Management (30 credit units), Marketing (21 credit units) or Operations Management (18 credit units). Each major has certain required courses, while some also have elective courses which can be selected from a specified list. Entrance restrictions have been placed on four of the majors (Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing) with the criterion being academic performance. All students must apply for acceptance to a major through program planning in February of their second year.
Electives
Senior elective credit units vary depending on the major: 12 credit units for Management; 18 credit units for Accounting and Human Resources; 21 credit units for Finance and Marketing; and 24 credit units for Operations Management. Senior electives may be chosen from Commerce courses (300-level and higher) or non-Commerce courses (200-level and higher) but students must have met the necessary prerequisites. The prerequisites may, in some cases, be junior courses which will not count towards the Bachelor of Commerce degree.

Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm) - Marketing
The Edwards School of Business is a great place to study business in Western Canada. Saskatoon is a vibrant community with a thriving economy and we are committed to providing an outstanding experience to students from around the world.
Students returning to the program after an absence of five years or more will be placed under the curriculum requirements in effect on the date that the student is readmitted to the School. In 2006 and thereafter, upon first admission to the Edwards School of Business, students must complete the degree requirements within a ten (10) year time period. Under exceptional circumstances, the School may grant an extension. The Course & Program Catalogue material details the new course offerings and the revised program which should be followed by all newly admitted students.
The curriculum exposes students to important business issues starting in the first year of study. Newly admitted students will have a more integrated first year experience with wider exposure to management concepts in key areas such as organizational behaviour, business communications, and decision making. Students entering their third year will specialize in one of six majors and conclude their fourth year with a business policy and a management skills class.
