What makes this program different?
Odette’s BComm builds a common business base before students develop depth in accounting, finance, marketing, management, or management science.
Applicants can compare regular and co-op entry. Windsor publishes different minimum averages for the two routes, but meeting a minimum does not guarantee admission.
A four-year honours commerce degree with five specialization areas and an optional three-work-term co-op route.

Foundation first. Direction next.
The degree combines a shared business foundation with later opportunities to develop depth, apply learning, and prepare for work.
Common commerce base
Build accounting, economics, quantitative, communication, and management foundations.
Choose direction
Develop one of five business areas and add applied course work.
Integrate and prepare
Complete advanced study, electives, projects, and career preparation.
Course sequences and academic regulations can change by calendar year.
Specializations, majors, minors, and experiential options have their own capacity and progression rules.
Experience is valuable—but never automatic.
Complete three four-month work terms when admitted and successfully matched.
Compare accounting, finance, marketing, management, and management science.
Apply business concepts to decisions, teams, and presentations.
Consider a cross-border city with regional employer connections.
Co-op admission and employment are separate steps. Students must meet academic requirements and compete for roles; no university can guarantee a particular placement.
Turn the degree into a direction.
Graduates can explore accounting, finance, marketing, operations, analytics, human resources, sales, entrepreneurship, and general management.
A degree opens possibilities rather than guaranteeing a job title. Courses, projects, work experience, relationships, and demonstrated skills all shape outcomes.
Compare the curriculum with the work you want to explore, while leaving room for interests to change.
Budget the complete experience.
Use the university’s current tuition and fee schedule, then add housing, food, books, transit, travel, and personal costs.
Fees vary by residency and course load and can change annually. Co-op income is uncertain until a student secures paid work.
