Certificate in Black Canadian Studies - ASCER0828

Certificate in Black Canadian Studies - ASCER0828

The Certificate in Black Canadian Studies will provide students with an opportunity to study and research the social construction of race in Canada, with a focus on Black Canada and Black Canadians, past and present. This will include attending to structural and systemic discrimination in areas including politics, judicial systems, and the arts, as well as considering counter-narratives and forms of resistance and empowerment enacted by Black Canadian communities. This certificate also offers a specialization that considers the historical roots and contemporary implications of anti-Black racism, as well as movements that are building towards social equity, and future imaginings. While this certificate addresses local and national contexts, it also situates diasporic and transnational frameworks for understanding Blackness in Canada. As a result, the certificate also examines a comparative approach to meaning-making and belonging in solidarity with other forms of racism and oppression.

Certificate in Business Fundamentals - ASCER2400

The purpose of this certificate is to provide all interested non-Rotman Commerce students in the Faculty of Arts & Science with an opportunity to obtain some basic business knowledge as part of their degree. This could be beneficial for all disciplines within the Faculty of Arts & Science as many students go on and work in a variety of businesses and industries or want some general understanding of management disciplines when entering the workforce. This will better equip students when going on the job market by helping them signal some business knowledge and greater career readiness.

The certificate is offered by the Rotman School of Management and is composed of 2.0 credits that can be taken as part of a student's elective courses within the 20.0 credits that are required to complete a Bachelor’s degree in the Faculty of Arts & Science. This certificate and included courses are not open to non-degree students.

  • Students who move from the Rotman Commerce program (BCOM) to another degree program (HBA/HBSc) within Arts & Science would be able to use any completed RSM course equivalents towards the completion of the Certificate in Business Fundamentals (e.g. RSM100H1 would be deemed equivalent to MGT100H1 as part of the Certificate in Business Fundamentals, etc).
  • Students who move from a different degree program (HBA/HBSc) within Arts & Science to the Rotman Commerce program (BCOM) would be able to count these MGT courses towards their Rotman Commerce degree (conditional on being accepted to the program based on the requirements listed in the Rotman Commerce section of the Calendar).
