EXCELLENCE & EXPERTISE U of T is consistently rated among the world’s best universities, the Rotman School of Management is among the top international business schools, and departments such as Economics are globally recognized centres of excellence. What’s at the heart of this impressive reputation? In a word—our faculty. Your teachers at Rotman Commerce are renowned and respected thinkers, business leaders, and researchers. In your classes, you will benefit from their experience and insight—learning important lessons that will help guide your steps as you begin to forge your own unique path.

A WORLD OF CHOICE We believe that your business knowledge can take you much further when coupled with an understanding of the world beyond the boardroom. You can choose to specialize in accounting, finance and economics, or management, each of which will give you a strong base in the core areas of business (accounting, business economics, finance, marketing, organizational behaviour, strategy, and operations). You will also pursue advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences—subjects such as psychology, political science, English, computer science, or just about anything else you have an interest in.

With over 2,000 Arts and Science courses to select from, your education will be as well-rounded as your inclinations and passions.

CONNECTIONS & COMMUNITY A North American business hub, the downtown core of a vibrant metropolitan city, a historic campus just minutes from Canada’s financial epicentre—it all comes together here at Rotman Commerce.

As a member of our diverse and close-knit student body, you’ll have countless opportunities to connect with the world’s best-known companies, our extensive network of successful alumni, and a wide range of professionals from Toronto’s thriving business community, not to mention a community of likeminded students who will become your friends, mentors, and colleagues over the course of your studies and beyond.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE Today’s competitive business world demands that students be prepared to work in teams, be effective communicators, and have demonstrable and relevant leadership experience. At Rotman Commerce, your curriculum will include vital teamwork, presentation, and communication skills. Outside of the classroom, you will find hundreds of opportunities to gain valuable leadership experience – in our student groups, through workshops and competitions, through peer-mentoring and volunteering. And if your interests include areas outside of commerce, there is no better place to explore them than at U of T.
