Faculty of Business W.G. Truscott/B.SE, M.B.A., D.B.A., P.' Eng., Dean of Business N.C. Agarwal/B.A., M.A., Ph.D., Associate Dean of Business (Academic) M.W.L. Chan/B.Sc., M.A., Ph.D., Associate Dean of Business (External Relations) C. Bentzen-BilkvistlB.A., M.A., Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes B. Pegg, Undergraduate Student Advisor The Faculty of Business offers three programmes, each of which spans four levels of study. The Honours Commerce programme, which leads to the Honours Bachelor of Commerce (Honours B.Com.) degree, provides substantial concentration in business subjects beyond the essential core of studies. The Honours Commerce and Economics programme, which is offered in conjunction with the Department of Economics, leads to the Honours Bachelor of Commerce and Arts (Honours B.Com. & Arts) degree. This programme' combines extensive amounts of work in both Commerce and Economics. The Commerce programme, which leads to the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) degree, contains the essential grounding in business subjects and promotes the broadening of horizons through studies in Social Sciences, Humanities and Science. These three programmes are referred to collectively as the Commerce programmes. ,In addition, the Faculties of Business and Engineering offer a five-level jOint programme for the Bachelor of Engineering and Management (B.Eng.Mgt.) degree. This programme provides a full course of study in Engineering and includes a complete core of business subjects. Details conceming the B.Eng.Mgt. programme and its academic regulations are given in the Faculty of Engineering section of this Calendar., Also, the Faculty of Business participates in the Committee of Instruction and offers courses for the B.A. programme in Labour Studies which i! described in the Faculty of Social Sciences section of this Calendar. ' The Commerce Programmes In Level I, a student who wishes to pursue any of the Commerce programmes establishes a foundation in computer science, economics, mathematics and psychology or sociology, and takes additional elective work. While this course of study is presCribed in Business I, a student who establishes a similar background in the Level I programme of another Faculty may also be considered for admission to Level II (Commerce II). Such a student should consult with the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes, Faculty of Business. ' A student must gain admission to Commerce II in order to proceed towards the Honours B.Com., Honours B.Com. & Arts, or B.Com. degrees. In Level II a wide range of business subjects (accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour, and statistical analysis for business) are introduced and further coursework in economics is required. Elective work is taken from non-Commerce courses. The Commerce programmes diverge at Level III. While the same core of required Commerce courses is completed in Levels III and N, the mix of work taken over these Levels differs. In Levels III and IV of the Honours Commerce programme, about three-quarters of the work is in Commerce courses, with the remainder of the load coming from electives outside the Faculty. The Honours Commerce and Economics programme contains approximately equal amounts of work in Commerce and Economics over.Levels III and lV, with few electives outside these diSCiplines. In Levels III and IV of the Commerce programme, about one~half of the course work is in each of Commerce subjects and non-Commerce electives. PART-TIME STUDIES The Commerce programmes may be taken through part-time studies. A part-time student is permitted to take a maximum of 18 units in any Winter Session (September to April) and a maximum of 12 units in any Summer term (May to August). It should be noted that only a few Level IV Commerce courses are offered in evenings or in s~mmer sessions. CONTINUING STUDENTS Graduates of McMaster's three Commerce programmes or one of the Engineering and Management programmes may take as part-time students, Level III and IV Commerce courses (not previously taken) excluding *Commerce 4AG3, 4AH3, 4AI3, with permission of the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes. Such permission will be given' only if normal prerequisites are satisfied and if space permits after meeting,the requirements of in-course students. (see Admission Requirements 1. Continuing and Post-Degree Students). "These courses are available as CCE 500, CCE 501, CCE 502, through MGMaster's Centre for Continuing Education, subject to sufficient enrolments and availability of qualified instructors. Other than those GRADUATES specified above, Commerce courses are not open to Continuing Students. Such students are eligible for courses designated BUSI~ESS. SECOND UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE A student with an undergraduate degree will not be admitt.ed or readmitted to any of the Commerce programmes. Such a student may wish to apply for admission to the M.B.A. programme. CREDIT TOWARDS THE M.B.A.,AND PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONS If appropriate academic standing has been attained in undergraduate courses, credit may be given toward the Master of Business Administration degree. This could reduce the M.B.A. programme to one additional academic year beyond the Honours B.Com., Honours B.eom. & Arts, B.Com. and B.Eng.Mgt. degrees. Educational requirements toward a variety of professional designations can be met in varying' degrees WITHIN the Commerce programmes and the Engineering and Management programme. The professional accounting designations C.A., C.M.A. and C.G.A. are awarded by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, the Society of Management 'Accountants of Ontario and the Certified General Accountants ASSOCiation of Ontario, respectively, while the designation C.P.M. is awarded by the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario. Further opportunities for meeting educational requirements for professional designations are available to students in all Commerce and EngineJring and Management programmes. Additional course work may be taken as Extras (see Extra Courses below) while in the programme. Further units of credit may also be taken after graduation (see Continuing Student~ above). Information concerning credit towards these professional designations can be obtained from the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes, Faculty of Business. Academic Regulatio,ns A student enrolled in any of the Commerce programmes, in addition to meeting the General Academ!c: Regulations of the University, shall be subject to the following Faculty Regulations: CU.MULATIVE COMMERCE AVERAGE The Cumulative Area Average for the Commerce programmes is termed the Cumulative Commerce Average (CCA) and is the weighted average of, grades in all courses, including non-Commerce courses, attempted subsequent to admission to Commerce Level II or readmission to the Commerce programme, excepting those courses designated at registration as Extra. CONTINUATION IN PROGRAMME Continuation in Levels III and IV: The Cumulative Commerce Average begins with grades attained in Level II. A student who maintains a Cumulative Commerce Average of at least 7.0, with no more than 6 units of F grades, may continue in the Honours Commerce programme. A student who maintains a CCA of at least 7.0, with no more than 6 units of F grades, and maintains at least 30
FACULTY OF BUSINESS a 7.0 cumulative weighted grade-point average in all Economics courses taken beyond Economics 1A06, may continue in the Honours Commerce and Economics programme. A student who maintains a CCA of at least 4.0, with no more than 6 ,units of F grades, may continue in the Commerce programme. A student whose Cumulative Commerce Average is less than 4.0 or who has more than 6 units of F grades in the CCA may not continue in any of the Commerce programmes. There is no probationary status in any of the Commerce programmes. CHANGE OF PROGRAMME A student may transfer between Commerce programmes prior to entering Level IV, proVided that, after consultation with the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes, of the Faculty of BUSiness, it has been determined that the academic requirements of the new programme have been met, and an acceptable revised programme of work can be established. This revised programme of work must be approved by the Associate Dean (Academic). Approval will not be granted for a transfer from Level III Commerce into a Level IV Honours Commerce programme. Transfer from the Honours Commerce and Economics programme into Economics programmes,should be discussed with thej)epartment of Economics. Students in good standing in the Engineering and Management programme may transfer to a Commerce programme with the permission of the Associate Dean {Academic}. The conditions for eligibility for entrance to the Con;tmerce programmes are the same as for students registered in the Faculty of Business. WORKLOAD A full-time student must complete a 30-unit load in each Winter Session. Advance credit and credit earned during Summer SeSSions may be used to reduce this load reqUirement. Such reductions will be applied as'late as possible in a student's programme. In any Winter Session, a student may not register for more than 30 units (including Extra courses) without the approval of the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes. Such approval will not be given to a student with a Cumulative Commerce Average below 9.0. REPEATED COURSES Any failed course (F grade) must be repeated if it is an explicitly required course for the programme, o'r must 'be or replaced if it is not explicitly required. The grades for ,both failed course and its repetition or replacement, as appropriate, will be included in the calculation of a student's CCA. Voluntary repetitions of non~Commerce courses in which passing grades have been previously attained are designated as Extra courses. (See Extra Courses below) r' EXTRA COURSES Courses in addition to those which constitute the student's programme must be deSignated Extra at registration and the grades obtained in such courses affect neither eligibility for continuation in the programme nor graduation standing. In additi'on, the units are not included in those required for graduation. The designation Extra can be neither added nor removed retroactively. Extra courses may be taken only upon successful completion of Level III of any of the Commerce programmes. No Extra courses may be scheduled in a manner w~ich wpuld delay completion of a student's programme. Commerce courses previously taken cannot be repeated as Extras. LEVEL OF REGISTRATION A student is required to register in the lowest Level for which more than 6 units of work is incomplete. Work of the next higher Level may be undertaken only when necessary to fill a programme load. RE-ADMISSION A student in Level II, III or IV of a Commerce programme who becomes ineligible to continue in the Faculty may apply for re-admission to the Commerce programme in a subsequent calendar year. Re-admission is not guaranteed. Application for re-admission must be made in writing to the Associate Dean (Academic) by April 30 of the year for which re-admission is desired. This application should explain why the student would expect to succeed in the programme if re-admitted. A student who is re-admitted after having become ineligible to continue in a Commerce programme must repeat all the courses of the Level at which he became ineligible to continue unless specific course exemptions are granted. The earliest possible session for re-admission is the session starting in September of the year following the year in which the student became ineligible to continue. The computation of a student's CCA begin~ anew at such re-admission. PREREQUISITES FOR COMMERCE, COURSES Prerequisites for Commerce courses are speCified in the course listing. A grade of at least D must be attained to satisfy any course prerequisite. COURSE CHANGES It is the responsiblity of the student to ensure that the programme of work undertaken meets the requirements for the degree. All course changes must be made through the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes and will b~ subject to the deadline dates established by the University (see Sessional Dates section of this Calendar). GRADUATION The Graduation Average (GA) is the weighted average of all grades in courses taken for Levels III and'IV of the programme, excluding Extra courses. A minimum GA of 4.0 is required for graduation from any of the Commerce programmes. First-class standing requires at least a 9.5 GA. Second-class standing requires at least a 7.0 GA. Third-class standing is specified for students with a GA of less than 7.0. FORMER COMMERCE STUDENTS If you were previously registered in a: Commerce programme and in good standing but did not attend last year, you must write to the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes to seek readmission. The letter should explain your activities (academic and otherwise) since you were last registered. If five years have passed since you were last registered at McMaster, please see Application Procedures-Former McMaster St~dents section ~~ca~~ I Graduates of McMaster's Commerce or Engineering and Management progra~mes should refer to the Faculty of Business-Continuing Students section of the calendar. INQUIRIES RE: ACADEMIC REGULATIONS A student seeking relief from the Faculty of Business regulations must apply in writing, with appropriate documentation attached. Guidelines for such requests may be obtained from the Office of the Administrator, Undergraduate Programmes (Kenneth Taylor Hall, Room 118). Programmes The chart Structure of Programmes should he used in conjunction with the text desCription of the programmes that follow. BUSINESS I: 30 units R Computer Science 1BA3; Economics 1A06; Mathematics 1L03; Mathematics 1M03 or lA06; Psychology 1A06 or SOciology 1A06. E Electives to make a total of 30 units (students without OAC Calculus must elect Mathematics 1K03). COMMERCE Admission: Admission to Commerce Level II is by selection on the basis of the overall weighted average attained in the work deSignated for Level I. To be considered for Commerce Level II, a Business I student normally must have attained a weighted average of at least 5.0* on the first attempt in the 30 units of Level I with no F; grades. In addition, the Business I student normally must have completed the full load (30 units) in a single Winter Session (September, to April). *(NOTE: Last year, a 6.1 average was required). Enrolment in Commerce Level II is limited to a maximum of 300 students. A maximum of 50 of the 300 places in Commerce Level II may be given to students from other universities or from other Faculties within McMaster University. Academic requirements for admission of transfer students may be more demanding than those for Business I students. 31
