Commerce is at the heart of every economy. So, it should not be surprising that the Faculty of Commerce has a unique prestige among the faculties at the Polytechnic: It has trained bankers, accountants, and many other professionals that continue to make the economy of Malawi hum. The programs offered under the faculty have to do with accountancy and auditing, business administration, and commerce (broadly defined). The three departments under the faculty—accountancy, business administration, and commerce—offer 12 academic programs, with the Department of Commerce going so far as to offer a doctorate in commerce with three specializations. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) offered by the Department of Business Administration is arguably the most popular post-graduate degree for professionals within Malawi who wish to further their studies.
