Minors and Concentrations

Allowed Combinations

UBC Sauder BCom students have the flexibility to customize their degree by combining options, concentrations, and non-Commerce minors. You may pursue any of the following combinations:

  • Two options and one non-Commerce minor

  • Two options and one concentration

  • One option and two concentrations

  • One option, one concentration, and one non-Commerce minor

These combinations allow you to tailor your BCom experience to suit your academic interests and career goals.

Credit/D/Fail Restrictions

You cannot take courses required for minors or concentrations on a Credit/D/Fail basis. You may take elective courses for Credit/D/Fail as long as they do not fulfill a requirement for an option, minor, or concentration. Read more about Credit/D/Fail at mybcom.sauder.ubc.ca/creditdfail.

Minors

A minor is an optional component of your BCom program that requires completion of at least 18 credits of upper level courses in a single subject area outside of Commerce. The courses taken for a minor are counted toward elective requirements in the BCom degree.

Please note: The minor you wish to pursue must be available to BCom students.
