Accounting Specialist (BCom) - ASSPE2676

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.

Applied Data Science Minor (Science Program) - ASMIN0160

Applied Data Science Minor (Science Program) - ASMIN0160

More than at any other time in our history, we are living through a paradigm shift in how we think about data. Advances in computing power, algorithms for data modeling and machine learning, coupled with unparalleled access to vast quantities of data has transformed disciplines across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The Minor in Applied Data Science will help students learn fundamental data science methodologies drawn from computing and statistics and provide opportunities to apply these methodologies to datasets, problem domains, and explorations in many disciplines of study in Arts & Science. Understanding the human and ethical contexts and communicating results of data science methodologies will appear in courses throughout the program.

The minor is designed to complement programs in other areas with opportunities for data science applications (see program requirements for pertinent programs). This program is designed to be accessible to students who have never done any computer programming or statistics before, or who haven’t taken high school or university calculus. All skills necessary to succeed in the program are taught in our courses. Most students who are interested in this program should start by choosing one of our three introductory, interdisciplinary data science courses: EEB125H1, GGR274H1, or ENG286H1, which introduce data science skills such as computer programming, statistical reasoning, and data visualization within the context of a particular discipline. Students then proceed to take a suite of key computer science and statistics courses that reinforce and extend these skills, with an emphasis on applications to real-world problems. Finally, in later years students will choose from a wide variety of courses drawn from across the Faculty of Arts & Science. These upper-year courses will provide the opportunity to discuss and analyze the human contexts of data science, and to apply data science methodologies in discipline-specific contexts.

Enrolment Requirements:

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

Variable Minimum Grade
A minimum grade is needed for entry, and this minimum may change each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants. Eligibility is based on the following criteria:

  1. Completion of one of EEB125H1/​ ENG286H1/​ GGR274H1/​ ESS245H1/​ STA130H1 with a grade of at least 60%, OR
  2. Completion of one of CSC108H1/​ CSC110Y1/​ CSC148H1 with a grade of at least 60%, OR

Asian Canadian Studies Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2728

Asian Canadian Studies Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2728

The Minor in Asian Canadian Studies is an interdisciplinary program focused on understanding and productively engaging with the social, political, historical, economic and cultural conditions that lead Asian Canadians to come to understand themselves as such, and thus what it means to be Asian Canadian. The program addresses how Asian Canadians have participated in the making of their own communities and contributed to the building of contemporary Canadian society. It is concerned with issues of social, political and ecological justice, especially with regards to historical and contemporary exclusion, violence and rupture. In addition, the program addresses Asian migration, hybridity, globality, movement, displacement and diaspora, particularly as they unfold in Canadian and Turtle Island contexts. Conversations about cultural and political agency and responsibility are key, as are conversations about relationships, especially with Indigenous and Black communities and individuals. Some of our interdisciplinary courses connect students with local communities, and every course provides opportunities for students to pursue a choice of research interests. Together we critically investigate and add to knowledge for and about Asian Canadians.

The category "Asian Canadian" is widely understood to refer to people in Canada of East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and West Asian ancestry.

Students choose from an array of courses in Asian Canadian Studies; and take additional courses related to the larger contexts of Asian Canadian Studies. The Minor in Asian Canadian Studies is easily combined with other disciplines, such as Anthropology, Art, Economics, English, Geography, History, Political Science and Sociology, as well as with interdisciplinary studies such as Contemporary Asian Studies, Diaspora and Transnational Studies, Critical Studies in Equity and Solidarity, East Asian Studies, South Asian Studies, and Near Eastern Studies.

Students will be encouraged to take full advantage of the opportunities available through the Canadian Studies Program, including its journal, ImagiNATIONs, produced by and for undergraduate students and its annual undergraduate student conference. The Canadian Studies Student Union is a focal point for social as well as academic pursuits, and is open to students pursuing a Minor in Asian Canadian Studies.

Certificate in Sustainability (U of T Sustainability Scholar) - ASCER1500

The Certificate in Sustainability is part of the U of T Sustainability Scholar initiative, and is designed to complement any Arts & Science degree or discipline. Participating students will develop a sustainability-lens ​based in systems-thinking that can be used to approach the rest of their academic program and career path. The Certificate requires students to take a foundational course ( ENV222H1); three electives drawn from a curated list of 42 half courses from 19 different units across the Faculty of Arts & Science; and a choice of capstone courses. Elective courses draw connections between multiple dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, political, ethical, cultural, and economic).

Enrolment Requirements:

This is an open enrolment Certificate. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the Certificate.

Completion Requirements:

(2.5 credits)

Climate Change Studies Minor (Science Program) - ASMIN1255

Climate Change Studies Minor (Science Program) - ASMIN1255

The Climate Change Studies Minor is designed to complement existing programs offered at the School of the Environment, including Major and Minor programs in Environmental Science, Major and Minor programs in Environmental Studies, and various Minor, Major and Specialist programs offered collaboratively with other academic units. The School also stewards and administers the Certificate in Sustainability on behalf of the Faculty of Arts & Science.

The minor in Climate Change Studies can be paired with the School’s existing programs, providing students with opportunities to add depth to their existing areas of study. Importantly, the minor can also be paired with many other programs offered at the St. George campus. The minor gives students from rich and diverse scholarly communities the opportunity to add a vitally important breadth dimension to their studies. The minor is relevant to those who plan to engage directly in sustainability, environmental, and climate change work beyond graduation, as well as for those who desire to bring a foundation of climate change knowledge to other fields.

The total number of credits required for completion of the minor is 4.0, of which 2.0 credits are required courses, 1.5 credits are electives at the 300+level, and the remaining 0.5 credit is a capstone course. Students have the opportunity to add an area of emphasis through one of three pathways; (a) ethics/thought/communication/culture, (b) civil society/policy/politics, or (c) economics/resources/science. The elective courses, drawn from units across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, provide students with an opportunity to engage with climate change from interdisciplinary perspectives.

Finance and Economics Specialist (BCom) - ASSPE2038

Finance and Economics Specialist (BCom) - ASSPE2038

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.

Latin American Studies Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ0552

Latin American Studies Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ0552

The Latin American Studies program at the Department of Spanish & Portuguese provides students in the social sciences and humanities an opportunity to engage and deepen their understanding of Latin American regions, their histories, politics, cultures, economies and societies. Courses encourage students to situate both their special interests and the contemporary debates in fields such as anthropology, political science, geography, literature, or history within a broader interdisciplinary framework, while at the same time committing themselves to an understanding of the historical, cultural and political experiences of Spanish and Portuguese America. Through an engagement with different texts and faculty expertise, this program trains students in current themes such as postcolonial thinking, critical readings of colonial histories, literary and anthropological genres, comparative politics, politics of indigeneity and human rights, as well as in environmental policies and political economy of Latin America and the Americas as a transnational whole. With the possibility to carry out curricula experience in Latin America, this program also offers an important lead for career development experiences on Latin America. This knowledge is increasingly necessary for Canada, as the country enters into new trade, political, environmental, and academic agreements with our emerging hemispheric partners.

Enrolment Requirements:

This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.

Completion Requirements:
