I would switch to a commerce undergrad so that you a stronger foundation for your MBA. That being said completing a degree in Bio and then undertaking an MBA is still very feasible.

You don't need a foundation for your MBA. Majoring in Commerce is going to leave you answering phones, minoring in it will leave you serving coffees. Finish the undergraduate degree and do an MBA if you're unhappy with the results. The course material isn't hard.

This might be a stupid question, but I was looking at the tuition costs for McMaster's MBA program, and it states that the tuition for a full-time student is $29,975. Is that cost per year?

That's the confusing part.

It says, "Tuition fees are administered by Student Accounts and are paid on a per term basis. Click here to view the estimated tuition fees for the entire program based on recent figures."

But when I click the link...it doesn't show the estimated tuition fees for the entire program.

No, they do not care what you studied in your undergrad.

Also, to be frank, if you are not going to Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Chicago, Kellogg, Sloan, Columbia, Ivey, Queen's, McGill... do not waste your time, money or energy.

An MBA is not a time for intellectual progress (learning). You get an MBA for the sole purpose of networking. Most of these schools have non-grade disclosures (you cannot post your GPA on your resume, etc). The aforementioned schools will place you best in consulting, finance (banking, private equity, hedge fund) and accounting (associate levels, maybe a junior partner).

I suggest you do a lot more research.
