What exactly is a commerce degree?

[simonvee]

Hi all,

The definition of commerce is 'trading'. I am assuming this is correct but just for safe assurance, is an accounting degree a commerce degree? Or is 'commerce' a degree in itself in Canada.

Bachelor of Commerce/B.Comm. is the standard term for an undergraduate business degree in Canada. (Just as B.A. is a Bachelor of Arts.) Accounting would fall under the B.Comm. classification.
