Change the name of the Bachelor of Administrative Studies ("BAS") degree program to Bachelor of Commerce ("BCom").

The Issue

The new name will increase the value of the degree because:
1. The new name will be better recognized by potential employers both in Canada and abroad.
2. The new name will better represent the academic content of the BAS degree program.
3. The new name will assist the school in student recruitment efforts.
4. The new name will be better aligned with terminology applied at other universities for similar programs.

Alumni should also be allowed to change their BAS degrees to BCom degrees.
