I. 
Description of Field
The four-year Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce offers students the opportunity to obtain a fully bilingual Business degree in Canada's two official languages. Initial admission is to the Faculté Saint-Jean where students will take all their coursework in Year 1 in French at the Faculté (except for ANGL 101 or one of ENGL 111, 112, 113, 114 which can be taken either at Faculté Saint-Jean or in the Faculty of Arts). Acceptance to the program takes place in Year Two in accordance with §§15.4.1.VII and 183.1. In Year 2, students will take the required core courses in business (see §64.3.III below) either through the Faculty of Business or in French at Faculté Saint-Jean where available. They will enrol in French language courses and free electives at Faculté Saint-Jean. In Years 3 and 4, students will continue in the Bilingual BCom in the Faculty of Business for required courses in their major area of specialization. They will continue to take some free electives in Faculté Saint-Jean. Some business courses (core and electives) can also be taken at Faculté Saint-Jean in Years 2, 3 and 4. Normally, a student will complete 
54 at Faculté Saint-Jean, not counting the 6 for ANGL 101 or one of ENGL 111, 112, 113, 114 and 60 in the Faculty of Business. Only in exceptional circumstances will a student be permitted to depart from the 54/6/60 pattern.
All students in the Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce are expected to select a major area of specialization from among the majors offered in the Faculty of Business. There are some majors that Bilingual BCom students may not be eligible to take because the bilingual program requirements will make it impossible to also fulfill major requirements. The Bilingual Bachelor of Commerce is not available to After-Degree students.
II. Career Opportunities
Career opportunities for Bachelor of Commerce graduates fluent in both of Canada's official language are many and varied. Students may have a particular advantage in government, large business or professional organizations with national or international presences or in any field relating to national or international accounting, finance, or marketing.
