[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Stop calling it a business school when they don't offer a business degree!!! [/quote]

The point is they are not giving a business degree :-) You come out with a BS in Commerce!
"Our upper-division program gives students an exceptional opportunity to collaborate with corporate leaders and faculty on complex, real-world business issues. 
Here, it’s about applied learning, solving real-world business problems, and finding fresh perspectives." 
Concentrations:
Accounting
Finance
Information Technology
Management
Marketing
Sounds like a "business" degree to me.

This is the same thing as Government/Political Science.  Some schools have Government departments and some have Political Science departments.  They are fundamentally the same thing with different names.  [/quote]

We are not talking about different schools here. We are talking about the same school having two different schools - one for commerce and the other for business.

People. UVA's undergrad commerce school is just what they call their undergrad business school. It's just a label. Just like they call their campus "grounds." [/quote]
