      * Overview
      * Program Requirements

        This program, which is offered in French, combines the study of commerce and of common law, allowing individuals interested in management and future law professionals to thoroughly understand the issues and analyses involved in these two complementary disciplines. The program allows students to complete the requirements of both programs in six years, equipping graduates with two separate degrees: a Bachelor's degree in Commerce (with possible "French Immersion" mention for non-Francophone students) and a Juris Doctor (J.D.). These degrees allow graduates to write provincial bar exams and practice law anywhere in Canada (except in Quebec).

      Requirements for this program have been modified. Please consult the 2024-2025 calendars for the previous requirements.

      The French immersion is available with the Honours Bachelor of Commerce. The Juris Doctor is offered in French only.

      Under the combined program, 60% of all Honours Bachelor of Commerce must be in French.
