BCom: Entrepreneurial Energy Satisfied students – very satisfied students – is what the School of Business has been producing for over 90 years. Student satisfaction is a closely watched metric, and this last year’s study shows once again that the School is on target: Would you choose the same program? Would you recommend to a friend? Satisfied with education received? Satisfied with courses taken?

The Alberta BCom is very much about choice, challenge, and community with 17 majors to choose from and a strong emphasis on being part of the university, business, and global communities. International majors include International Business and three unique language streams – BCom East Asian Studies, BCom European Studies, and BCom Latin American Studies. The three most popular majors continue to be Accounting, Finance, and Marketing. The fourth most popular major is Business Economics and Law; we are the only Business School in Canada to have such a major.
Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise Receptive to student and industry demand, a new offering this year was in Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise, combining the School’s depth in both family business and entrepreneurship. The School of Business’ Family Enterprise Initiative includes the Alberta Business Family Institute (ABFI) and our Centre for Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise (CEFE). CEFE offers rigorous research, recognized teaching excellence, and relevant entrepreneurial initiatives for students. Lead and encouraged by CEFE director Professor Lloyd Steier, our students took full advantage of the many local, provincial, and national business plan competitions including VenturePrize, Enterprize Prairies, and our own CEFE Student Business Plan Competition. ABFI is now located in Enterprise Square, with a newly appointed director, Jim Henderson Kendal Harazny, Canadian Student Entrepreneur of the Year
