Program structure
Dual Degree students apply for entry directly into year 3 of the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) program, after successfully completing a minimum of 2 years at their home institution. Upon completion of the BCom program, students will graduate with 2 degrees; a BCom degree from the Gustavson School of Business and a degree from their home institution.
| Year | Fall | Spring | Summer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 3 | BCom core | BCom core | Co-op |
| Year 4 | Exchange | Co-op | Co-op |
| Year 5 | Specialization |
Note: This is a sample schedule and your program order may vary. For example: If you have previous work experience, there is an opportunity to challenge your first co-op work term so you may complete your BCom program within 2 years. If you have questions about program structure, please contact Gustavson International.
Student stories
I have had a great time at Gustavson. The cohort structure and project teams encourage the development of teamwork and communication skills. In addition, the faculty arranges lots of networking events and competitive case competitions to help you prepare for your professional career. The staff at Gustavson is very helpful and always available for any questions related to the program, your co-op, or even immigration documents and the Canadian culture.
