UCW is launching Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) specializations in the Winter 2026 Term. New students entering the program can choose between specializations in Accounting, Marketing and Technology Management.
“Introducing new BCom specializations allows students to build a strong foundation in business while gaining targeted expertise that aligns with today’s dynamic economic landscape. This approach equips our graduates with practical skills, critical thinking and a competitive edge as they prepare to enter diverse professional pathways,” said Dr. Bashir Makhoul, UCW President & Vice-Chancellor.
The specializations apply to students taking the program in Hybrid Mode (in-person and online guided learning) and Online Mode. Students who started the BCom program before the Winter 2026 Term will continue to progress through their original pathway.
“We are giving our students the flexibility to shape their academic journey in line with their career aspirations. These specializations provide both depth and direction, ensuring they graduate with the confidence and capability to contribute meaningfully from the very start of their careers,” he said.
Additionally, the cohort structure for the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Arts in Business Communications (BABC) programs will start in the Winter 2026 Term.
The cohort model benefits university students by fostering community, collaboration and support. Students progress through the program together, creating strong peer connections that enhance learning and motivation. This structure improves engagement, retention and teamwork skills essential for professional success. The new cohort structure also provides a clear and easy-to-follow pathway to the successful completion of a student’s degree.
Students pursuing a BCom or BABC part-time will progress at a different pace through the cohort system.
UCW recently launched specialization and the cohort system for our MBA program in the Summer 2025 Term.
More information about the specializations and cohorts can be found on UCW’s BCom program page, Online BCom page, BABC program page and Online BABC Program page.
