Program Overview

Honours Bachelor of Commerce and Juris Doctor

The Honours Bachelor of Commerce and Juris Doctor program is a combined degree that allows individuals to study commerce and common law, providing a thorough understanding of the issues and analyses involved in these two complementary disciplines. This program is offered in French and enables students to complete the requirements of both programs in six years, resulting in two separate degrees: a Bachelor's degree in Commerce (with possible "French Immersion" mention for non-Francophone students) and a Juris Doctor (J.D.). These degrees allow graduates to write provincial bar exams and practice law anywhere in Canada (except in Quebec).
