Department of Commerce

INTRODUCTION

Established in 2000, the Department of Commerce at Jinnah University for Women is dedicated to empowering female students through high-quality education in Business and Commerce. Initially launched with a two-year degree program, the department transitioned to a three-year honors degree in 2005 and further expanded in 2007 with the introduction of a four-year BS in Commerce program. In response to evolving academic and industry needs, a flexible Associate Degree Program (ADP) was introduced in 2016. Most recently, in 2025, the department launched a four-year degree program BS in Accounting and Finance, to offer students a specialized path in financial studies. Another milestone achieved by offering BS in Islamic Baking and Finance from the academic year of 2026. The department is supported by a team of qualified faculty, a well-equipped computer lab, and a library with updated academic and professional resources. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, the department regularly organizes seminars, workshops, internships, and guest speaker sessions, equipping students with the skills and insights necessary to thrive in real-world business environments.
