Undergraduate Microprograms
What is a microprogram?
A microprogram is a short, focused program that combines select courses with exclusive hands-on learning opportunities to increase your knowledge in a specific area of business. It uses courses typically reserved for out-of-faculty students and/or free electives to complete the program. You must choose one of five business topics.
The number of courses required to complete a microprogram ranges between four and seven. These courses are taken throughout your time in the BCom program. Enrolment in a microprogram might require you to attend events outside of class time.
