Bachelor of Commerce
Students must successfully complete 24 units for a total of 600 credits. As an introduction to the fundamentals of business, and to help students choose their major, all first year students study a foundation of six common core units. The common core units include Accounting 100, Economics 100, Information Systems 100, Business Law 100, Management 100 and Marketing 100.
Note: Some students with The Diploma of Commerce from Curtin or other approved business qualifications from technical, polytechnic and other colleges may receive recognition of prior learning for the common core units.
A single major gives students the knowledge in their field to make an immediate contribution in their future career choices. Single major students study 12 units that form their major, and a further four elective units.
A double major students gain a solid knowledge base in two separate but complimentary areas of study. The double majors consist of 16 units - eight units from each stream.
Curtin Business School programs are highly dynamic and interactive and use a wide range of teaching methods including case studies and group work. The Bachelor of Commerce degree (24 units) takes two years if study includes summer semesters. The same amount of time is required to complete a single or double major.
