The Rotman Commerce Program is jointly offered by the Faculty of Arts & Science
and the Rotman School of Management
Faculty from the Rotman School of Management who teach in the Rotman Commerce Program are listed below.
The Rotman Commerce Program at the University of Toronto offers an innovative
and integrative curriculum with a global perspective for an enriched professional
undergraduate experience. The program explores the role of commerce in modern
society while developing skill and confidence in analysis, effective communications
and decision making.
The Bachelor of Commerce degree builds on a common foundation
of business and liberal arts courses. Rotman Commerce students go on to specialize
in one of three programs: finance and economics, management, or accounting.
Each stream combines career-oriented courses in management and applied economics
with
a variety of advanced courses in the Arts & 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.
The Major in Commerce provides students with a foundation in business
while allowing them to concentrate in another discipline within Arts & Science.
Rotman Commerce graduates frequently become economists, accountants,
actuaries, financial analysts, marketing analysts, managers of firms and
government,
or proprietors of small businesses. Some 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.
