2001-2002 Undergraduate Calendar
The University of Guelph offers an 8 semester honours program leading to a Bachelor of Commerce degree. Students must select one of the following 8 major areas of study:
The program is of an interdisciplinary nature drawing, according to the major, on appropriate courses in the humanities; social sciences; food, physical and biological sciences. It is designed to give students a broad exposure to the basic disciplines (e.g. economics, psychology or sociology) and a sound professional management education with a focus on specific industry sectors or management functions which prepare the graduates to assume positions of responsibility in particular areas of management and business. The early semesters are devoted to instruction in the basic disciplines while the later semesters are devoted to more professional studies. Students who complete these majors may be given credit on a subject for subject basis for courses in the first year of an M.B.A. program.
The B.Comm. program counsellor is available to assist prospective students in the selection of their major and initial courses, and to respond to questions regarding any other aspects of their anticipated program. The program counsellor will also assist in-course students who need information or advice about their program or other academic regulations, who seek information on services and resources available to students or who are contemplating transfer into or out of their current major or degree program.
On entering the program, all students are assigned a departmental advisor to whom they may turn for consultation in scheduling of courses and selection of electives, academic requirements of the program, and information concerning career opportunities. The required course selections and, where required, restricted electives are presented in the following pages.
Expenses may include cost of field trips and supplies and, for some majors, laboratory coats and other protective clothing.
Global understanding and perspectives are regarded as being of central importance among the university's learning objectives, as they are, also, in understanding the international business environment. On both of these accounts, students enrolled in the B. Comm. program are urged to participate in one of the several exchange and study abroad programs specifically designed for the Commerce program. Planning for such participation is best undertaken quite early in the course of studies. For more specific information on the opportunities provided for a semester in France and other locations refer to Section V-- International Study Opportunities or contact the B.Comm. program counsellor.
Students are advised to consult the regulations for Continuation of Study within the program which are outlined in detail in Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures. Students in the B.Comm. program may repeat any failed credit only once. Failure to successfully complete a required (core) credit on the second attempt will result in students not being permitted to continue in their major and/or program.
To qualify for a Bachelor of Commerce degree for a specific major the student must successfully complete a minimum of 20.00 approved credits. The requirements for each major are set out in the schedule of studies.
Courses specified in the schedule of studies are required courses and must be completed successfully. A full course load normally involves 2.50 credits. The requirements for each major are set out below.

The Housing and Real Estate Management major in the B.Comm. program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of housing, focusing on the delivery of housing services, the management of housing and real estate and on the economic and social policy context.
The major shares a common core with other majors in the B.Comm. program. The focus of the major is on the development of conceptual, analytical and management skills required for professional careers in the field of housing and real estate management.
Students in the major study housing and real estate in the context of an assemblage of physical, financial, legal, political and social elements, making linkages between and among elements and then use this knowledge to apply to the management and analysis of housing services systems, and the appraisal of housing policy.
Students graduate with a degree leading to a variety of professional positions in the public and private sectors or continue on to graduate work in business, planning or the social sciences.
Students in the Housing and Real Estate Management major are required to take the courses listed below.

The Management Economics in Industry and Finance major is designed to offer students an appreciation of business problems in the areas of industrial organization and finance using the analytical orientation of the discipline of Economics and the tools of Business Management, Marketing and Accounting. This major combines the applied thrust of business courses with the analytical rigor of Economics.
The major provides a suitable education for a career in the business world or in the public service. It also constitutes a useful preparation for more advanced studies, including graduate studies in Economics, Business Administration, Law, and Public Policy. The major is administered by the Department of Economics and students are urged to consult the departmental advisor. A planning guide is available in the department. Students should note that most courses carry prerequisites and that ECON*1050 and ECON*1100 are normally prerequisites for all other courses in Economics.
Students who fail any Economics course twice or who do not achieve a 65% average in Economics courses taken during the first 4 semesters in this major are likely to encounter difficulties in the more advanced courses. They are strongly advised to consult the departmental advisor in Economics to discuss the options available.
For this major, 9.50 credits are specified, 6.00 are restricted electives and 4.50 are free electives. A possible program sequence is outlined below.

The Public Management program is designed to lead to an understanding of public sector administration and management from the "inside" - as an integrated enterprise - as well as from the outside - as a series of policy decisions and outcomes. Characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach employing both political and business-oriented analysis, students will confront questions of why politicians and public servants behave the way they do, and how their policy choices and processes can be optimized. Management of public entitities features a unique set of challenges that arise from and interact with basic political issues like democracy, accountability, equity, fairness, and justice. At the same time it necessarily faces concerns common to all organizations, such as efficiency, human and capital resource management, morale, planning, and adaptation to change.
The program will appeal to students interested in the public service, public sector businesses or business-government relations. A co-ordinated sequence of courses is capped in the final year by a year long research project and thesis.
For this major, 15.00 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements and the remaining 5.00 as electives. A list of suggested electives follows the description of required courses.

As the world's largest industry, tourism encompasses a wide range of public and private enterprises that require knowledgeable and talented management professionals. The program in Tourism Management builds on a strong base of hospitality management courses (human resources management, accounting, finance, cost controls, hotel operations). In conjunction with these courses the program provides specialized courses dealing with the economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of the industry as well as the critical functions of tourism marketing, distribution, planning and development. In addition, there are opportunities to develop expertise in eco-tourism and international tourism operations. The study of languages is a core component of this program. Verified work experience in the hospitality and tourism industry is required for students to be eligible to graduate. Group work is a significant part of core credit work.
For this major, 14.50 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements, 3.00 as restricted electives (Lists A and B), and the remaining 2.50 as electives.
