The Faculty of Commerce offers modern programs of study across a wide range of discipline areas. The nature of commercial activity is rapidly changing in Cambodia and the challenge facing universities such as IIC is to design, teach and conduct research in areas relevant to establishing a progressive, technologically advanced capability in each of the primary areas of Cambodian commerce.

Therefore, the primary focus of the degree program is based upon a structure of strengthening knowledge, expertise and access to the latest developments in disciplines such as finance, human resource management, tourism, marketing, advertising, and economics, among others.

Many of these disciplines have their origin in Western business and economic history. Indeed many are the cornerstones of the globalized economy. For Cambodia, this means careful adaptation of commercial theory and practice to best meet the nation’s emerging economic, social and regional needs. Cambodia is increasingly assuming status as a nation within ASEAN; accordingly, the focus of studies in commerce should concentrate upon the priorities of Khmer associations with neighboring countries, primarily centered on regional trading potential.

Likewise, for any economy to perform along a growth pattern, internal mechanisms improving the effectiveness of business operations – such as human resource management, logistics, information systems and legal frameworks – are vital. Expertise in these areas is of fundamental importance for Cambodia’s current phase of development.

IIC is committed to producing well-rounded graduates who have both depth of knowledge in their major fields of study and breadth of knowledge outside their majors. The best graduates have mastery of specific subject matter within business fields, yet are able to practice their specialization within the wider aspects of economy, society and government. To achieve this outcome, the commerce degree at IIC is structured upon a pattern of common core units, specialized majors, electives and an in-depth final paper.
