B.Com Integrated (2024-25)

Introduction:

Expectations of businesses and industries are changing very fast and therefore the conventional B Com programme should also change to cater to the changing needs. Conventional watertight compartmentalization of Arts / Commerce / Science is not going to offer the required skill sets to people to face the changing business environment.

Whether one is self-employed or having a job, only domain knowledge is not enough in today’s world. One needs to think out of the box, develop critical thinking, negotiation skills, have an exposure to national and international events, and also have awareness of different aspects of society and culture.

Considering these factors Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce introduced the Liberal Arts Programme in 2006. For this purpose, the Symbiosis Centre for Liberal Arts was established. The ‘Liberal Arts’ programme was well received by the students as an ‘Add On’ diploma or certificate.

The college has integrated the courses offered by the ‘Centre for Liberal Arts’ into the main stream B Com programme thus creating a new programme named as B Com (Integrated).By opting for this programme a student will have an opportunity to differentiate oneself in this competitive world, and will also have an added advantage to pursue higher studies. The college believes that this programme will lead to a holistic development of the student’s personality in the true sense, thus making him industry and profession ready.
