Updated on: Monday, June 22, 2009

Chennai: Women’s Christian College (WCC), is introducing a new BCom course with emphasis on computer science from this academic year. The BCom (Computer Applications) course is the first of its kind to be offered by a college under the University of Madras and is now awaiting final approval from the university.

Margaret Ratha Rani, the Head of the Commerce Department, says that over 400 applications were received for the course, which will have between 50 and 70 seats.

The syllabus of the programme will have a 60 per cent focus on commerce and a 40 per cent focus on computer science. It will include traditional commerce subjects such as accounts, management and statistics, while incorporating newer and more cutting-edge subjects such as C++, advertising with multimedia and information technology. According to Ms. Margaret, the course will increase the number of options available to commerce graduates. “It opens a whole new area for students,” she said, adding, “They can take up jobs in the IT sector, or go in for higher education like MCA or MSc Computer Science and Technology, or they can take up more conventional options such as MCom, MBA and Human Resources.”

State Board students applying for the course should have chosen the commerce stream in school and should have also studied computer science. CBSE students should have taken commerce with informatics practices.
