Fundamental Genetics and its Applications

Rotman Commerce at the University of Toronto offers an innovative curriculum combining studies in management, economics, and the liberal arts for an enriched professional undergraduate experience. The program explores the role of commerce in modern society while developing skill and confidence in analysis, effective communication, and decision making. The Rotman Commerce program offers a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degree in three different specialist programs, Finance & Economics, Accounting, and Management.

All programs within the Bachelor of Commerce degree build on a common foundation of business and liberal arts courses. Rotman Commerce students specialize in one of three programs: Accounting, Finance and Economics, or Management. Each program combines courses in management and applied economics with a variety of advanced courses in the liberal arts and sciences. The balance assures graduates of a solid understanding of business and modern society along with a command of critical skills in decision-making and organizational leadership.

Rotman Commerce graduates frequently become economists, accountants, actuaries, financial analysts, marketing analysts, managers of firms and government, or proprietors of small businesses. Some Rotman Commerce students elect to undertake post-graduate studies in the form of further university education: law schools and MBA programs have been particularly favoured destinations of recent graduates.

This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.

For students admitted to the Rotman Commerce admission category in Year 1:

Special Requirement

• Students are admitted to Year 1 of the Faculty of Arts and Science in the Rotman Commerce admission category with an “admission guarantee.â€ Students admitted with the guarantee are invited to enroll in the program after first year, provided that the course and grade requirements below (i.e., Guaranteed Admission requirements) are met.
• Failure to meet any of these requirements, or failure to complete all the required courses within the calendar year (assuming full-time studies), will result in losing the admission guarantee.

Completed courses (with minimum grades)
The following courses with the stated minimum grades are required:

• RSM100H1 (67%)
• ECO101H1 (63%) and ECO102H1 (63%)
• MAT133Y1 (63%)/ ( MAT135H1 (60%), MAT136H1 (60%))/ MAT137Y1 (55%)/ MAT157Y1 (55%)

Notes:

• Students may repeat any of the required courses once, in order to attain the requisite mark. The repeated course(s) must be completed within the calendar year (as per the terms of the "guarantee"); as such, the repeated course(s) must be taken during either the Winter or Summer Session of first-year (i.e. a student may not extend the terms of their guarantee in order to attain the minimum marks).
• Note that none of the required courses may be completed using the CR/NCR option.

For students NOT admitted to the Year 1 Rotman Commerce admission category:

Special Requirement

• Students must complete the Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application in late April or May of each year.
• All course admission requirements must be completed by May 1 to be eligible.
• For information regarding admission to the program, contact Rotman Commerce at rc.admissions@utoronto.ca

Minimum Course Grades and Minimum Grade Average
A limited number of spaces in Rotman Commerce are available to Arts & Science students who were not admitted to first year with the Admission Guarantee.

Minimum grades in each listed course, combined with a minimum grade average in required courses, is needed for entry. The following courses with the stated minimum grades are required:

• MGT100H1 (67%)/ RSM100H1 (67%)
• ECO101H1 (63%) and ECO102H1 (63%)
• MAT133Y1 (63%)/ ( MAT135H1 (60%) + MAT136H1 (60%))/ MAT137Y1 (55%)/ MAT157Y1 (55%)

Admission will be based on marks and the Rotman Commerce Supplemental Application. Admission to Rotman Commerce is competitive. Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. An average of at least 73% in the prerequisite courses is needed for admission consideration and preference will be given to students whose marks are the result of a single attempt in each course.

Notes:

• For Arts and Science students admitted to Rotman Commerce, MGT100H1 will be considered equivalent to RSM100H1.
