at Royal Roads University?
Our BCom students come from a variety of backgrounds,

Our BCom is not just for current or aspiring entrepreneurs.
It's for value creators of all stripes; critical and creative
thinkers who affect change by starting their own business

It's less about the content – of course you'll get a great
