(New Academic Choices)

The Bachelor of Administrative and Commercial Studies degree (which includes the following three specializations: Finance and Administration; International and Comparative Studies; Organizational and Human Resources) provides students with a four-year degree, combining courses in commerce and administration with a broad background in the social sciences. The Specialization in International and Comparative Studies adds an international focus to the BACS degree, and has a language requirement for graduation.

Students may apply to enter BACS when they apply for admission to Huron University College. Because enrolment is limited, possession of the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. Please note the Mathematics and English requirements in the ADMISSION section.

Note: Students admitted without Ontario Secondary School credits must complete Grade 12U Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus or Mathematics 012a/b or equivalent, prior to registering in certain Economics, Mathematics, and Statistics courses. See course descriptions in the UNDERGRADUATE COURSE INFORMATION Section.

Transfer students who have been admitted to Huron University College with advanced standing, or students who are currently registered in another module at the University, may also request permission to register in BACS. UWO students wishing to enter BACS after first, second, or third year must have achieved an overall average of 70% in their last 5.0 courses and a cumulative average of 65%. Transfer students must have completed successfully the equivalent of the BACS first year Mathematics requirement, Economics 020 (Finance and Administration Specialization only), and 1.0 additional course in Social Science. Permission for such students to enter BACS may be granted by the Dean of Arts and Social Science at Huron University College. Part-time students must complete the Mathematics requirements noted in the ADMISSION section and 5.0 university courses before requesting admission to BACS. Students interested in transferring into BACS are advised to consult the Senior Academic Advisor. Students who fail to meet the progression requirements governing BACS will normally be expected to complete 5.0 additional courses in another module before applying for readmission into BACS.

BACS students must meet the following BACS degree requirements:

BACS Specializations may be combined with certain Minor modules offered by other departments. For example, Finance and Administration may be taken with a Minor in Economic Theory. For more information, consult the Office of the Dean of Arts and Social Science at Huron University College.
