Entrepreneurial activity is vital to economic development and societal well-being. All progressive societies have economic systems that create new firms as well as encourage entrepreneurial renewal in existing firms. Family enterprises are important economic entities, representing the predominant form of business organization around the globe (between 65% and 80% of the world’s businesses are controlled by families). This specialization aims to help students develop the attitudes, knowledge and skills needed to work effectively in a start-up or collaboratively with others in existing firms. Two streams are available—the general entrepreneurship stream and the family enterprise stream.
There is no direct entry from high school into the Bachelor of Commerce program (BCom). Students must first complete a year of university in either the Faculty of Arts or the Faculty of Science and take courses in English, economics, mathematics and statistics. Admission to the BCom is competitive based on performance in the required courses and a student's overall academic record.
