A Bcomm at Mount Allison provides an experiential, student-focused approach to the study of business. In the Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies, classes are small, professors are accessible, and real world learning is key. A Commerce foundation is also mixed with a liberal arts education, which requires you to take a minor in a discipline outside Commerce to broaden your perspective.

Our graduates have gone on to work for leaders, such as Maple Leaf Foods, Procter and Gamble, Telus, the Economic Development Corporation, and even national hockey franchises.

Careers are available in:

  • law
  • management
  • accounting
  • banking
  • provincial and federal government
  • economics
  • teaching
  • entrepreneurship
  • human resources
  • marketing
  • politics

As a Mount Allison student Craighead was president of Bigelow House, VP Administrative for the SAC, and a student representative on the University’s Board of Regents. She now appreciates the opportunity Mount Allison gave her to work with some very prominent people at a young age — one being Canadian business icon Purdy Crawford (’52, Chancellor Emeritus), who she still works with occasionally.
