2. Step 1: Find a Program
▪ After taking the Typefocus personality assessments in Unit 1 and
from my own personal interests, I have decided to look into a
program for a Bachelor degree of Commerce.
▪ The Program that I have found is through the Sauder School of
Business at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
▪ I decided to look into this program because UBC is in the city I
already live in, and the Faculty of Commerce is quite strong at UBC.
3. Step 2: Research the Program
Admission Requirements:
▪
Required to submit a transcript of your grades and a Bachelor of Commerce Supplemental application form.
▪

6. Why I am interested…
▪ Business has been something I have been interested in ever since I
was little.
▪ The Typefocus assessment also helped me to determine that I would
be good at Urban Land use/design.
– Until further research I didn’t know that this profession was part of the industry
of commerce.
▪ I love the idea behind commerce and everything involved.
– Such as organization and marketing.
