What is Commerce?
Commerce is the exchange of goods and services, typically involving monetary transactions, between individuals and organizations. It encompasses the buying and selling of products, as well as related activities like marketing, finance, and transportation.
A Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree is a four-year undergraduate program that provides a broad foundation in business, with a focus on specific areas like accounting, finance, or management. You can choose to specialize in various business areas or take a more general approach with a blend of business courses and electives from other faculties.
