Welcome to Edwards
At the Edwards School of Business, we pride ourselves on being just the right size. We offer Saskatchewan’s best business students an AACSB-accredited education in a welcoming classroom environment. Our classes facilitate learning and interaction with faculty and other students. We are situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis, at the University of Saskatchewan main campus in Saskatoon, SK. Our campus and business communities provide social and professional activities business students crave.
The Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm.) degree is a four-year direct-entry program. The first two years are dedicated to providing you with general business knowledge. You will take an introductory course in each of the major specializations (accounting, finance, human resources, management, marketing and supply chain management) before selecting your major in the middle of year two.
As part of the Edwards advantage, you can add real-world, practical experience to your resumé through one of our many experiential learning courses. You can also get practical experience in your field of study with the Edwards Co-operative Education option through Edwards Career Services, which includes pre-placement workshops and a paid eight-month work placement in your third year. There is also a combined B.Comm./J.D. (Juris Doctor), an option that allows you to obtain both a business and a law degree in six years rather than the seven years needed to complete the degrees separately.
Edwards has a number of dedicated awards for new, first-time students, in addition to general USask scholarships, bursaries, and awards. In 2023, continuing Edwards students received over $1.67 million in scholarships and awards.
