Official Concordia wording: "Minimum cut-off averages" — published minimum cut-offs, to be used as indicators; the page specifies that the cut-offs can change depending on the applicant pool and that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission. Minimum common to all BComm majors (John Molson table on the R score page; cross-checked on the John Molson Admissions page: "minimum overall R score of 26.00").
Per-subject minimum published by Concordia (R score "mathematics (average of Calculus 1 and Linear Algebra)"). Official Concordia wording: "Minimum cut-off averages" — published minimum cut-offs, to be used as indicators; the page specifies that the cut-offs can change depending on the applicant pool and that meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission.
Prerequisites
Basis of admission
- Pre-university DEC (2 years)
- Technical DEC (3 years) in a business-related field
Required prerequisite courses
- Calculus 1 (Calcul différentiel)
- Linear Algebra (Algèbre linéaire)
Minimums COMMON to all BComm majors in the official table. Pre-university DEC: average of 26 calculated on Calculus 1 and Linear Algebra only; admission is possible as soon as AT LEAST ONE of these two courses is passed, the other to be completed during the first year at Concordia (strongly recommended to complete both at CEGEP). Business-related technical DEC: admission possible without Calculus 1 or Linear Algebra if overall score 26.00 and minimum 75% in Secondary 5 mathematics (SN, TS or MATH 536); if Calculus I and/or Linear Algebra were taken, an average of 26 in mathematics is required; missing prerequisites are completed as elective credits at John Molson after admission.
