[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me clarify the misconception regarding UVA's Commerce School. UVA indeed has two distinct schools, the Commerce School and the Business School, each with its unique emphasis. Contrary to popular belief, the Commerce School does not offer a conventional business degree. Instead, it provides a specialized two-year BS in Commerce degree. Students admitted to this program begin their studies from the third year onwards.

It's important to note that the UVA Business School does not offer an undergraduate business degree either. So, it's incorrect to refer to the Commerce School's program as a business degree when UVA itself distinguishes between the two schools and their respective offerings.

McIntire is the undergraduate business school, although it does offer some masters programs.  Only McIntire awards undergraduate degrees.  Darden is the graduate business school, including the MBA program and executive education.  [/quote]

It's a commerce school. It offers commerce undergrad and grad degrees only. NO business degrees. Darden is a business school and offers only grad business programs. If UVA wanted McIntrire Commerce School to offer business degrees it would say so.[/quote]

There's not really a difference between undergrad "business" vs. UVA's undergrad "commerce". Their own site emphasizes business: 
"Our upper-division program gives students an exceptional opportunity to collaborate with corporate leaders and faculty on complex, real-world [b]business [/b]issues. "
"Build a [b]business [/b]foundation"
"choose an area of study while growing your understanding of global [b]business [/b]communication."

And concentrations include accounting, finance, management, marketing, same as any undergrad "business" school
