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.
Concentrations
A concentration is an optional set of related courses beyond your core degree requirements, separate from your option. The 12 credits taken for a concentration are counted toward elective requirements in the BCom degree.
Business Analytics concentration
International Business concentration
Sustainability and Social Impact concentration
Minor in Commerce
Enrolled in another degree program at UBC? Learn the fundamentals of business by taking 9 to 18 credits of upper level Commerce courses (requirements vary by Faculty). Flexible course delivery options and summer sections allow minor requirements to fit within the schedule of your primary field of study.
