Difference between Business or Commerce? (1 Viewer)

[hihihi01]

I am planning to do a bachelor of business and arts in UNSW, but when I the ATAR cutoff thing, i realised there was also a bachelor of commerce and arts.
I am so confused about what the difference between commerce and business is.
Could someone please explain the difference or are they the same thing?

The difference is that by doing commerce and arts, you have two actual degrees. Business itself isn’t really a degree, it is designed to give you some exposure to the commerce courses, so you don’t even have a commerce major when u graduate. It is suitable for some people who want to work in the art industry who also want to know some business aspects (such as marketing , management )without having to studying the whole commerce degree.
That being said, if you want to become a business professional you do need an actual commerce degree. As the business part in that business and art (single degree) is incomplete .
