What makes this program different?
Haskayne’s BComm provides a common business foundation followed by concentration study, typically in the third and fourth years. The school highlights theory connected to real organizational problems, with business professionals contributing as mentors, advisors, and guest speakers.
Current options span accounting, analytics, technology, entrepreneurship, finance, marketing, operations, people, real estate, risk, supply chain, and other business areas. Students must verify the live list because offerings can change.
Haskayne may suit students who want a comprehensive BComm, access to Calgary’s employer community, and optional work-integrated learning within a large university.
