Commerce - B2001
Join the brilliant minds of the commercial world.
If you're a clever thinker who likes to find solutions to problems and consider ideas in abstract ways, Commerce will teach you to apply your thinking in a commercial capacity to influence change.
Commerce is integral to all facets of the economy. It encompasses the diverse and rapidly changing activities of the world, including decision-making, leadership, innovation and policy development.
In this course you will develop broad commercial knowledge and acquire expertise in a particular discipline, while also developing the capacity to drive change in the future. With 11 majors to choose from and 12 double-degree options on offer, you will have genuine depth and diversity of choice at Monash.
