This six-year combined program capitalizes on the strength of the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree offered by Smith School of Business and the rich business law program offered by Queen’s Law. 

The BCom/JD degree reduces completion time and tuition by one year for undergraduate students admitted to the BCom degree program at Smith. Students entering the third-year of the Smith BCom program are eligible to apply through an internal application process at Queen’s. 

Commerce

Smith’s four-year Bachelor of Commerce program is designed to develop exceptional leaders, valuable team members, and highly effective managers. Personalize your degree by taking advantage of numerous opportunities available to you in this program — the Certificate in Social Impact, study abroad options, and positions in ComSoc, the largest undergraduate business society in Canada.

A key feature of Smith Commerce is the international exchange semester option in years three or four. Living and studying in another country broadens your perspective and develops a global network of contacts. It enhances your career opportunities and appeals to employers. Smith’s exchange partners are carefully selected for the high quality of education and student experience they deliver.

Juris Doctor

The Faculty of Law's renowned JD program provides students the educational foundation to practice law in all common-law jurisdictions in Canada and around the world, as well as exciting cross-disciplinary combined degree opportunities, and diverse curricular offerings in high-interest practice areas, including business, constitutional, public, criminal, and international law.

Experiential learning is a hallmark of the Queen’s Law experience through Bader College at Herstmonceux Castle in England, a variety of international exchange programs, sought-after internships, Indigenous on the land learning, and front-line community justice through five pro bono legal clinics. The JD program supports practice readiness, with over 95 percent of graduates finding placements in the months following graduation.

Queen’s Law is dedicated to the principles of EDII and the importance of reconciliation and restorative justice, which informs curriculum development and supports pathways to legal education to ensure individuals from culturally, racially, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds can thrive.
