Admission Requirements for Bachelor of Commerce (Part-Time Students)

Note: This program is currently under review. Admissions will not be accepted for this academic year.

The Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) program for part-time students in the Desautels Faculty of Management has been designed to be of assistance to those students who, for various reasons, cannot attend the University during the daytime. The evening courses are offered during the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.

The BCom program accepts students with a wide variety of academic backgrounds. Admission is competitive with an above-average Academic Standing expected; decisions are based on the whole academic record. It should be noted that meeting the minimum requirements for admission does not guarantee acceptance into the BCom program.

  • Service Point
  • 3415 McTavish Street
  • Montreal QC H3A 0C8
  • Telephone: 514-398-7878
