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.


Enrolment Requirements:

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 & Science in the Rotman Commerce admission category with an admission guarantee. Students admitted with the guarantee are invited to enrol 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 12 months (a student’s first Fall/Winter and Summer sessions), 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:

Notes:

    • Students may repeat any required Guaranteed Admission course once to attain the minimum grade requirement for assessment of their eligibility for admission to the specialist. Any posted grade, whether a failing grade or a passing grade that does not meet the minimum required grade, constitutes an attempt. A course dropped by the published drop date, or with a status of Late Withdrawal (LWD or WDR) does not count as an attempt. Students who have attempted a required Guaranteed Admission course twice and have not achieved the minimum required grade will be ineligible to pursue a Rotman Commerce specialist.
    • All repeated attempts must be completed within 12 months, during a student’s first Fall/Winter and Summer sessions in the Faculty of Arts & Science, in accordance with the terms of the guarantee. Students may not extend the guarantee period in order to meet minimum grade requirements.
    • Students who do not achieve the minimum required grade in MAT133Y1, MAT130H1/​ MAT135H1 and/or MAT136H1, MAT137Y1, or MAT157Y1 after two attempts within 12 months are not permitted to satisfy the requirement by taking an alternative mathematics course.
    • Note that none of the required courses may be completed using the CR/NCR option.
    • Please reach out to Rotman Commerce Academic Services for more details.

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:

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.

*The combination of ( STA220H1, STA255H1) is considered equivalent to ECO220Y1 for the purposes of completing Rotman Commerce program requirements only.

Focus in Computer Systems (Major) - ASFOC1689P

(3.0 credits)

Software systems are complex and interesting. Poorly done systems can be incredibly expensive: they can cost society billions of dollars and sometimes make the difference between life and death. Rapid changes in technology and applications means that the underlying systems must continually adapt. This focus takes you under the covers of software systems, laying bare the layers and introducing you to concurrency issues, scalability, multiprocessor systems, distributed computing, and more.

Focus in Computer Vision (Major) - ASFOC1689L

Focus in Computer Vision (Major) - ASFOC1689L

(3.5 credits)

The Focus in Computer Vision (Major) has the same set of requirements as the Focus in Computer Vision (Specialist).

Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that can see. As a science, the goal of computer vision is to understand the computational processes required for a machine to come to an understanding of the content of a set of images. The data here may be a single snapshot, a video sequence, or a set of images from different viewpoints or provided by medical scanners.

The computer vision focus introduces students to the study of vision from a computational point of view. That is, we attempt to clearly define computational problems for various steps of the overall process, and then show how these problems can be tackled with appropriate algorithms.

Students who wish to pursue computer vision should have an understanding of linear algebra and calculus of several variables. Moreover, they should be solid programmers and have a good understanding of data structures and algorithm design. These basic tools are required in order to first pose computational vision problems, and then develop and test algorithms for the solution to those problems.
