About

The Commerce programs combine economics and the various sub-disciplines of management enabling students to develop analytical skills and gain knowledge of institutions using the resources of the Institute for Management and Innovation. This background is useful for solving problems and making decisions in business and government environments. Graduates of UTM’s Commerce programs are well prepared for a future in professional accounting, economics, actuarial science, financial analytics, marketing analysis, management of firms and government, or small business. Some Commerce students also choose to do post-graduate studies in law and/or MBA programs.

Each program has also been designed to ensure students graduate with strong analytical, critical thinking and communication skills that will ensure their success in a competitive job market.
