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 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.
In order to be admitted into the Rotman Commerce POSt, students are first admitted to Y1 of the Faculty of Arts and Science in the Rotman Commerce stream with an “admission guarantee.” Students admitted with the guarantee are invited to enroll in the program after first-year, provided that the following academic requirements are met:
- Complete RSM100H1 Introduction to Management with a mark of at least 67%
- Complete ECO101H1 Principles of Microeconomics and ECO102H1 Principles of Macroeconomics with a mark of at least 63% in each
- Complete MAT133Y1 Calculus and Linear Algebra for Commerce with a mark of at least 63% (C)
- Complete a minimum of 4.0 full-course equivalents (i.e. 1 FCE beyond the three required courses)
These requirements must be met within one calendar year of the student's enrolment in Arts & Science. For students beginning their studies in September, the requirements must be satisfied no later than the end of the following Summer Session.
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 her/his guarantee in order to attain the minimum marks).
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. Note that none of the required courses may be completed using the CR/NCR option.
A small number of students are accepted as transfer from other Arts & Science streams in a competitive process after completing similar requirements.

Notes:
- For students who began their Year 2 studies of Rotman Commerce in Fall 2019 and after: STA220H1 and STA255H1 are considered equivalent to ECO220Y1 for the purposes of completing Rotman Commerce program requirements only. They are not considered equivalent by the Economics department. Therefore STA220H1 and STA255H1 will not count towards an ECO minor nor will it count as a pre-req for upper level ECO courses where ECO220Y1 is required. Please consult the Commerce department if you are considering STA220H1 and STA255H1.
- Students must take a minimum of 8.0 FCE in RSM and 8.0 FCE in non-RSM courses. MGT100H1 is considered equivalent to RSM100H1 and counts as 0.5 FCE in RSM courses towards this requirement. Students may enrol in only one Rotman Commerce Specialist.

Asian Canadian Studies Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2728
The Minor in Asian Canadian Studies focuses on community-engaged learning that explores how to understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, and political forces that affect people of Asian heritage in Canada. 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 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 take two required half-year core courses in Asian Canadian Studies; select 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, Equity Studies, 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. Students also can participate in Asian Canadian Studies student events and in the tri-campus Asian Canadian Studies Research network. The Research network brings together professors and students to discuss current research related to Asian Canadian Studies, Asian diasporas, and global Asian migrations. Students in the minor are also invited to participate in the Asian Institute’s Asian Pathways Research Lab that offers research opportunities in Toronto.
This program has unlimited enrolment and no specific admission requirements. All students who have completed at least 4 FCEs are eligible to enrol.
First Year: No specific first-year requirements. (Students are advised to take introductory courses that will serve as prerequisites for optional courses of interest to them later in the program.)

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1868
The genomic and post-genomic era brings opportunities for new insight into all aspects of biology and medicine, based on the computational analysis of very large datasets in a biological context. The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Program is an interdepartmental, interdisciplinary Program of Study that balances computer-science and life-science courses towards that goal. As a Specialist Program it is designed to prepare students for graduate studies in the field.
The Program is formally administered by the Department of Cell and Systems Biology and co-sponsored by the Departments of Biochemistry, Computer Science, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Molecular Genetics; all sponsoring Departments have clear trajectories to extend the Program into graduate studies in the respective Department.
This program has unlimited enrolment and no specific admission requirements. All students who have completed at least 4.0 courses are eligible to enrol.
However, students are advised that the very rigorous courses that are part of the Program, the very limited overlap in course material between the theory-centric and the biology-centric courses, and the different academic cultures in the life- and computer sciences, make this Program suitable only for the academically strongest and most highly motivated students on campus. As a rule of thumb, students who expect to do well should be able to regularly perform at the top 20% level in their classes.
You should seek advice from both the Program Director and the Department of Computer Science on how to distribute your courses.
Note: this program has deregulated fees, which are incurred after enrolment in the program. Please refer to Arts & Science Registration Instructions for more information.

Biological Physics Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1420
The Biological Physics specialist program focuses on the physical principles that organize complex biological phenomena. How do cells use chemical energy to generate motion? How does diffusion limit the ability of cells to measure the concentration of chemicals? How do neurons transmit and process information? How does blood flow through a beating heart? Biological Physics deals with problems at the interface of Physics, Molecular Biology, and Physiology, and covers the full range of scales, from the molecular, to the organismic. Students in this program will be trained to think rigorously and quantitatively about a wide range of interdisciplinary problems, will be well prepared to work in a variety of fields such as medicine and biotechnology, and will be ready to undertake graduate work in the fast-emerging field of Biological Physics and its related specialties including Immunology, Physiology, Neuroscience, and Bioengineering..
The program is offered as a partnership between the Departments of Physics, Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Physiology (referred to as "partner departments"). All students take the Core courses in Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Biochemistry, and Chemistry. The Core also includes a specialized course in Biological Physics ( PHY331H1) and a third-year laboratory course from one of the partner departments.

Biomedical Toxicology Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2573
Biomedical toxicology has emerged as an important science addressing drug safety and the adverse consequences of chemical exposure. The Biomedical Toxicology Major program examines the harmful effects of chemicals on the health and behavior of individuals and society. The safety/toxicity of a wide array of chemicals is examined including pharmaceutical preparations, herbal products, natural toxins, and environmental contaminants, with a focus on their effects on human health. Students learn about basic and clinical toxicology and related areas through lectures, tutorials and class discussions/debates.
This program includes the application of toxicological knowledge and risk assessment and prepares students for a variety of job opportunities following its completion as well as for further study in graduate research or professional programs such as Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. (Note: Students interested in professional programs should contact the respective faculties to inquire about specific transfer credits.) Many graduates of the Biomedical Toxicology major program pursue careers in scientific research, forensic science, nutrition and food sciences, governmental agencies, consulting agencies, and industrial settings including the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
This is a limited enrolment program that can only accommodate a limited number of students. Eligibility will be competitive and based on a student’s marks in the 2.0 required first-year courses:
BIO120H1, BIO130H1, ( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ CHM151Y1, with an average of at least 70% on these 2.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) and a final mark of at least 60% in each course.
Achieving these estimated marks does not guarantee admission to the program in any given year.
While it is difficult to predict what will be competitive course marks and average in a given year, based on previous years, the estimate is: course marks = mid 80s; average = mid 80s.
Students must apply to this program on the Arts & Science Faculty Registrar's Office website (see the Arts & Science Program Toolkit for application procedures). Students wishing to enroll in this program will initially apply to a general departmental Major (ASMAJ2675) after their first year and during the spring of their second year of study (and completion of PCL201H1) students will select the focus for their future studies (Biomedical Toxicology or Pharmacology). First and second year courses are the same for all Major programs within the Department (ASMAJ2675/ASMAJ2082/ASMAJ2573). Students cannot combine a Biomedical Toxicology Major program with a Pharmacology Major or Specialist program for their degree.
Students will follow the calendar year in which they initially enter one of our programs (i.e., the ASMAJ2675).
Students wishing to enroll after their second year who have taken PCL201H1 will be considered on a case by case basis. Successful completion of required pre-requisite courses is required to further enroll in upper level program courses.
Students will follow the calendar year in which they initially enter one of our programs (i.e., for the majority of students that will be ASMAJ2675).

Biomedical Toxicology Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE2573
Biomedical toxicology has emerged as an important science addressing drug safety and the adverse consequences of chemical exposure. The Biomedical Toxicology Specialist program examines the harmful effects of chemicals on the health and behaviour of individuals and society. The safety/toxicity of a wide array of chemicals is examined including pharmaceutical preparations, herbal products, natural toxins and environmental contaminants, with a focus on their effects on human health. This program emphasizes the application of toxicological knowledge and risk assessment and prepares students for a variety of job opportunities following its completion as well as for further study in graduate research or professional programs such as Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. (Note: Students interested in professional programs should contact the respective faculties to inquire about specific transfer credits.) Many graduates of the Biomedical Toxicology Specialist program pursue careers in scientific research, forensic science, nutrition and food sciences, governmental agencies, consulting agencies, and industrial settings including the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Students learn about basic and clinical toxicology and related areas through lectures, tutorials, laboratories, and independent research projects. The senior research project course enables students to gain valuable research experience while working under the supervision of an individual faculty member in either a laboratory-based or a non-laboratory-based setting.
This is a limited enrolment program that can only accommodate a limited number of students. Eligibility will be competitive and based on a student’s marks in the 3.0 required first-year courses:
BIO120H1, BIO130H1, ( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ CHM151Y1, and 1.0 FCE from ( MAT135H1, MAT136H1)/ MAT137Y1/ MAT157Y1/ ( PHY131H1, PHY132H1)/ ( PHY151H1, PHY152H1) with an average of at least 70% on these 3.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) and a final mark of at least 60% in each course.
Achieving these estimated marks does not guarantee admission to the program in any given year.
While it is difficult to predict what will be competitive course marks and average in a given year, based on previous years, the estimate is: course marks = mid 80s; average = mid 80s.
Students must apply to this program on the Arts & Science Faculty Registrar's Office website (see the Arts & Science Program Toolkit for application procedures). Students wishing to enroll in the Biomedical Toxicology Specialist will initially apply to the Specialist in Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology (ASSPE2340). After completion of first year pre-requisite courses and during the spring of their second year of study (and completion of PCL201H1) students can then choose to apply to the Biomedical Toxicology Specialist. First and second year courses are the same for all Specialist programs within the Department (ASSPE2082/ASSPE2340/ASSPE2573).
Students will follow the calendar year in which they initially enter one of our programs (students who are enrolled in the Biomedical Toxicology or the Pharmacology Specialist will follow the requirements for the calendar year in which they first enrolled in the Specialist in Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology (ASSPE2340)).
Students cannot combine the Biomedical Toxicology Specialist with either departmental Major programs (Biomedical Toxicology or Pharmacology).
Students wishing to enroll after their second year who have taken PCL201H1 will be considered on a case by case basis. Successful completion of required pre-requisite courses is required to further enroll in upper level program courses. Students may not transfer to the Major program from the Specialist after completion of PCL474Y1 or PEY.
Students will follow the calendar year in which they initially enter one of our programs (ie for the majority of students that will be ASSPE2340).

Data Science Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1687
The field of Data Science is a combination of statistics and computer science methodologies that enable ‘learning from data’. A data scientist extracts information from data, and is involved with every step that must be taken to achieve this goal, from getting acquainted with the data to communicating the results in non-technical language. The Data Science Specialist program prepares students for work in the Data Science industry or government and for graduate studies in Data Science, Computer Science, or Statistics. Students in the program will benefit from a range of advanced courses in Computer Science and Statistics offered by the University of Toronto, as well as from a sequence of three integrative courses designed especially for the program.
The Data Science Specialist program comprises three fundamental and highly-integrated aspects. First, students will acquire expertise in statistical reasoning, methods, and inference essential for any data analyst. Seconds, students will receive in-depth training in computer science: the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures for handling large amounts of data, and best practices in software design. Students will receive training in machine learning, which lies at the intersection of computer and statistical sciences. The third aspect is the application of computer science and statistics to produce analyses of complex, large-scale datasets, and the communication of the results of these analyses; students will receive training in these areas by taking integrative courses that are designed specifically for the Data Science Specialist program. The courses involve experiential learning: students will be working with real large-scale datasets from the domain of business, government, and/or science. The successful student will combine their expertise in computer and statistical science to produce and communicate analyses of complex large-scale datasets.
Skills that graduates of the program will acquire include proficiency in statistical reasoning and computational thinking; data manipulation and exploration, visualization, and communication that are required for work as a data scientist; the ability to apply statistical methods to solve problems in the context of scientific research, business, and government; familiarity and experience with best practices in software development; and knowledge of current software infrastructure for handling large data sets. Graduates of the program will be able to demonstrate the ability to apply machine learning algorithms to large-scale datasets that arise in scientific research, government, and business; create appropriate data visualizations for complex datasets; identify and answer questions that involve applying statistical methods or machine learning algorithms to complex data, and communicating the results; present theresults and limitations of a data analysis at an appropriate technical level for the intended audience.
This is a limited enrolment program that can only accommodate a certain number of students. Eligibility is based on the average of a student's grades in CSC148H1 and MAT137Y1/ MAT157Y1 and STA130H1. ( MAT157Y1 grades will be adjusted to account for the course's greater difficulty.)
In addition, students must have completed at least 4.0 FCEs and achieved a minimum grade of 70% in each of CSC148H1, MAT137Y1/ MAT157Y1 and STA130H1.
Students will be assessed based on a competitive average across these courses, and a supplemental application which will be considered alongside their academic results.
Important:
- Requests for admission will be considered in the first program request period only. For detailed program enrolment instructions and application deadlines for restricted programs please click here.
- Due to the limited enrolment nature of this program students are strongly advised to plan to enroll in backup programs.
- Students admitted to the program after second or third year will be required to pay retroactive deregulated program fees.

Diaspora & Transnational Studies Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN1407
Digital Humanities Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN1337
Digital humanities (DH) is a discipline at the intersections of the humanities with computing. DH studies human culture -- art, literature, history, geography, religion -- through computational tools and methodologies; and, in turn, DH studies the digital through humanist lenses. Digital humanists study social media phenomena or medieval manuscript archives; computationally analyze thousands of newspaper articles to trace economic developments; construct video games to study literary narratives; or resurrect historical cities through digital maps and virtual reality exhibits.
In introductory and advanced DH courses, students learn about the intellectual landscape of digital humanities scholarship. They learn how to build digital stories, exhibits, and maps; how to digitize rare books; how to analyze collections of data; how to construct digital models and 3D-print them; and how to manage major digital projects. By the end of the program, students conduct a major DH research project of their own or participate in the research of an established faculty project. Throughout the program, students gain a critical perspective on digital technologies, learning to consider the ways digital platforms shape, and are shaped by, the currents of wider social and cultural forces.
By providing this critical and technical skillset, the Digital Humanities Minor prepares students for future paths that range from graduate studies in literature, history, library science, education, or computer science, to careers as technical writers, data analysts and visualizers, project managers, or programmers.
Students should note that some courses at the 200, 300, and 400 levels may have additional prerequisites.
Permission to count courses that are not on the list below towards the Minor in Digital Humanities must be received from the Program Coordinator, and will be granted on a case-by-case basis when the student’s work demonstrably and substantially engages Digital Humanities-related content or research methods.
This is a Type 1 Program. Enrolment is open to students who have completed 4.0 FCEs.
Completion Requirements
This program requires the completion of four full credits (4 FCEs): 1.0 credit from group 1 (required introductory courses); up to 2.5 credits from group 2 (digital humanities and cross-listed courses); and a minimum of 0.5 credits from group 3 (capstone experiences).

Earth and Environmental Systems Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2745
In the Earth and Environmental Systems Major, students use multidisciplinary approaches to studying the large-scale interactions between the Earth and planetary systems over a broad spectrum of time-scales, addressing deep timescales of millions to billions of years as well as processes taking place in today’s and in future worlds. Courses take an integrative approach to understanding interactions between the solid Earth, the biosphere, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, addressing how these interactions have developed over geological, historical, and recent time periods. Themes of the program include Earth surface processes (e.g., evolution of landforms and sedimentary basins), paleoclimatology (e.g., drivers of Earth’s natural climate variability), biogeochemistry, Quaternary science (understanding the ice ages) and global environmental change. This program provides broad context over time and space to better understand and provide solutions for the current issues of climate change, resource consumption and global pollution weighing heavily on people and societies. Students are advised to check course prerequisites, to review the clusters of courses listed for the geoscience major program, and to consult the Earth Sciences Undergraduate Handbook for logical course progressions. For further questions, please contact the Student Affairs Coordinator (Scott Moore, Department of Earth Sciences, 22 Russell St. Earth Sciences Center, Room 1062 email: ugrad@es.utoronto.ca).

Environment & Toxicology Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE0605
This program is jointly sponsored by the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology and the School of the Environment. For additional information see “School of the Environment” (www.environment.utoronto.ca) or consult our website: www.pharmtox.utoronto.ca.
The Environment and Toxicology Specialist program is an interdisciplinary program which spans the social, physical and life sciences and integrates study of the effects of chemicals not only on the health and behaviour of human beings but on whole ecosystems as the adverse effects associated with therapeutic and environmental chemicals are discussed. This program emphasizes the application of knowledge of environmental toxicology and risk assessment and prepares students for a variety of job opportunities following its completion. Graduates of the Environment and Toxicology program may pursue careers in scientific research, environmental science, conservation science, governmental agencies, consulting agencies, and within chemical, manufacturing or agriculture industries. Students learn to integrate basic environmental and life science with particular aspects of clinical toxicology and related areas through lectures, tutorials, and laboratory and independent research project experience. The senior independent research project course enables students to gain valuable research experience while working under the supervision of an individual faculty member in either a laboratory-based or a non-laboratory-based setting.
The Professional Experience Year (PEY) internship program is a 12-16 month paid employment placement within pharmaceutical/ biotechnology/chemical companies, university research laboratories, university-affiliated organizations, consulting companies or government research agencies. The PEY takes place between the 3rd and 4th years of undergraduate study and is open to Specialists in Pharmacology and Biomedical Toxicology who have a cGPA of at least 3.0. Students who participate in this program agree to return to their SPE program in the Department to complete their 4th year and their degree. The PEY internship provides an excellent opportunity for real-world experience in drug development, project management, client relations, basic and clinical research, information management and regulatory affairs.
The Environment and Toxicology Specialist is a Type 2L program and can only accommodate a limited number of students. Admission into this program is determined by a student’s average in the following courses: BIO120H1, BIO130H1, CHM135H1, CHM136H1 and one full course equivalent from any of PHY131H1, PHY132H1, MAT135H1, MAT136H1. It is expected that a cumulative average 70% in the selected courses will be required for admission; however, achieving that mark does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year. Entry into the program requires completion of BIO120H1, BIO130H1; CHM135H1, CHM136H1; one FCE from any of PHY131H1, PHY132H1, MAT135H1, or MAT136H1. See the Arts & Science Program Toolkit for application procedures.

The Ethics, Society and Law program allows undergraduates to explore some of the most crucial questions facing contemporary society, and to do so by means of an explicitly interdisciplinary approach. The humanities, social sciences and natural sciences all provide useful lenses for study and distinctive skill sets. Students are required to cover core areas in each of the streams; they additionally select their own areas of focus from optional courses in fields like philosophy, religion, anthropology, women and gender studies, economics, geography, political science, sociology and criminology. Engaging across disciplines, E, S and L majors acquire a strong critical preparation for well-informed, effective analysis and action, which will serve them professionally, locally and as a members of the global community. Please see the ES&L webpages:http://www.trinity.utoronto.ca/current/programs-courses/esl/esl.html
The Ethics, Society, and Law Major is a Type 2 limited enrolment program. Enrolment is limited to students with an overall average of 77% or higher in 3 FCEs (at the end of first year) selected from courses that are categorized as BR=2 and/or BR=3. Please note that TRN170Y1 can also be included as a full credit towards selection even though it is classified as BR=1+2. For students applying at the end of second year, a minimal overall average of 77% is required in 3 FCEs from courses that count towards the program including at least 1.0 FCE from: ETH201H1, ETH210H1, ETH220H1, ETH230H1, PHL265H1, PHL271H1, PHL275H1, and POL200Y1. In either case, achieving the threshold mark does not necessarily guarantee admission to the program in any given year. Applications beyond second year will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
(7 full courses or the equivalent)
1. First year: While no specific courses are required in first year, course selection should take into account the program’s admission requirements above, as well as the prerequisites for 200+ level courses students plan to take to complete the program.
2. Second year: PHL271H1, TRN203H1, and TRN204H1 are required courses that students are recommended to take in second year (their first year of registration in the program).

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 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.
In order to be admitted into the Rotman Commerce POSt, students are first admitted to Y1 of the Faculty of Arts and Science in the Rotman Commerce stream with an “admission guarantee.” Students admitted with the guarantee are invited to enroll in the program after first-year, provided that the following academic requirements are met:
- Complete RSM100H1 Introduction to Management with a mark of at least 67%
- Complete ECO101H1 Principles of Microeconomics and ECO102H1 Principles of Macroeconomics with a mark of at least 63% in each
- Complete MAT133Y1 Calculus and Linear Algebra for Commerce with a mark of at least 63% (C)
- Complete a minimum of 4.0 full-course equivalents (i.e. 1 FCE beyond the three required courses)
These requirements must be met within one calendar year of the student's enrolment in Arts & Science. For students beginning their studies in September, the requirements must be satisfied no later than the end of the following Summer Session.
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 her/his guarantee in order to attain the minimum marks).
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. Note that none of the required courses may be completed using the CR/NCR option.
A small number of students are accepted as transfer from other Arts & Science streams in a competitive process after completing similar requirements.
(15 full courses or their equivalent)
First Year:
1. ( ECO101H1, ECO102H1), RSM100H1/ MGT100H1

Notes:
- For students who began their Year 2 studies of Rotman Commerce in Fall 2019 and after: STA220H1 and STA255H1 are considered equivalent to ECO220Y1 for the purposes of completing Rotman Commerce program requirements only. They are not considered equivalent by the Economics department. Therefore STA220H1 and STA255H1 will not count towards an ECO minor nor will it count as a pre-req for upper level ECO courses where ECO220Y1 is required. Please consult the Commerce department if you are considering STA220H1 and STA255H1.
- Students must take a minimum of 8.0 FCE in RSM and 8.0 FCE in non-RSM courses. MGT100H1 is considered equivalent to RSM100H1 and counts as 0.5 FCE in RSM courses towards this requirement. Students may enrol in only one Rotman Commerce Specialist.

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 - ASFOC1689D
(3.5 FCEs)
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.

Focus in Scientific Computing - ASFOC1689A
(3.5 FCEs)
Scientific computing studies the world around us. Known and unknown quantities are related through certain rules, e.g. physical laws, formulating mathematical problems. These problems are solved by numerical methods implemented as algorithms and run on computers. The numerical methods are analyzed and their performance (e.g. accuracy, efficiency) studied. Problems, such as choosing the optimal shape for an airplane (to achieve, for example, minimal fuel consumption), finding the fair price for derivative products of the market, or regulating the amount of radiation in medical scans, can be modelled by mathematical expressions and solved by numerical techniques.
Students wishing to study scientific computing should have a strong background in mathematics—in particular calculus of several variables, linear algebra, and statistics—be fluent in programming, and have a good understanding of data structures and algorithm design.

Focus in Theory of Computation - ASFOC1689I
(5.5 FCEs)
Why is it easy to sort a list of numbers, but hard to break Internet encryption schemes? Is finding a solution to a problem harder than checking that a solution is correct? Can we find good approximate solutions, even when the exact solutions seem out of reach? Theory of Computation studies the inherent complexity of fundamental algorithmic problems. On one hand, we develop ground-breaking efficient data structures and algorithms. On the other, we have yet to develop good algorithms for many problems despite decades of effort, and for these problems we strive to prove no time- or space-efficient algorithms will ever solve them. While the field has seen some successful impossibility results, there are still many problems (such as those underlying modern cryptography and security) for which we do not know either efficient algorithms or strong lower bounds!
This focus takes a rigorous, mathematical approach to computational problem-solving: students will gain a deep understanding of algorithm paradigms and measures of problem complexity, and develop the skills necessary to convey abstract ideas with precision and clarity. Many of our students go on to graduate studies and sophisticated algorithmic work in industry. This focus has natural ties with many branches of mathematics and is the foundation of many computer science fields. Consequently, our students often apply their theoretical knowledge to other fields of interest.
We strongly encourage taking the enriched theory courses ( CSC240H1, CSC265H1) as well as specialist/major versions of the MAT requirements for our focus. [Depending on courses selected for points 3 & 4, students may need to complete 0.5–1.0 FCE in addition to the 12.0 FCEs required to complete the Specialist program.]
