Studying Commerce at UBC on exchange

• Students on exchange from partner universities that have a commerce exchange agreement with the Sauder School of Business are allowed a maximum of 12 credits of COMM/COHR per term. Additional credits may be considered if space is available.
• Students on exchange with the Sauder School of Business from other UBC partner schools may be limited to six credits of COMM/COHR per term. Additional credits may be considered if space is available.
• Students not on exchange with the Sauder School of Business may request to take commerce courses but enrolment may be limited and is not guaranteed.
• Enrolment in second-year courses (200 level) may be limited.
• Many courses have additional prerequisites that must be met prior to course enrolment. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that these prerequisites are met.
• The following are commerce courses for non-commerce majors: COMM 100/329/398/458/465/473 and 493.
  • Many commerce courses are in high demand; students may be refused enrolment due to capacity limitations.
  • At UBC, Economics is within the Faculty of Arts and is separate from the Sauder School of Business and Bachelor of Commerce program. Due to limited capacity, access to Economics courses cannot be guaranteed.
