Commerce, essentially the exchange of money for products or services, predates the Roman Empire and is a cornerstone of modern capitalist economies.
The broad-based, flexible and multi-disciplinary Monash commerce degree provides a thorough understanding of the workings of the economy and business. Through professional training in the commerce disciplines, the course develops a capacity for logical analysis and the knowledge and skills required to manage public and private enterprises.
Career opportunities depend on the subjects taken, but graduates work in government organisations and private enterprise as accountants, economists, statisticians, finance analysts or managers. They may also work in marketing or other areas of management.
