What is the difference between Commerce and Social Science?
The Quebec government recognizes Commerce as a discipline within the Social Sciences. The main difference between a Social Science and a Commerce student is a Commerce student takes one Commerce course each semester, beginning with a Fundamentals of Business course. Commerce students are also obliged to take three Math courses: Calculus I, Calculus II, and Linear Algebra, for them to qualify for entrance into a Commerce program at the university level.
