Only Read This if You Are Willing to do Math – ie commerce shiz

Hi!

I just started grade 12 and am trying to figure out what programs to apply to. I’m trying to look for the most effective way to combine business and political science- is it possible to double major in political science and some sort of business administration/commerce at U of T?

Thanks a bunch,

Janna

Hey hey!!

You actually have a few options here!

So for all the number combos I’m about to give you, remember that in order to graduate you must have 20 credits

Rotman Commerce actually doesn’t offer majors, only specializations. There are three different fields that you can specialize in. Here they are:

1)Accounting Specialist (B.Com) = 15 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com

2) Finance and Economics Specialist (B.Com) = 13.5 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com

3) Management Specialist (B.Com) = 12 full courses or their equivalent out of 20 courses, for a B.Com

So that leaves you space to take courses in another field (ie Poli Sci) in order graduate.

a) Political Science Major = 7.0 POL full courses or their equivalent

b) Political Science Minor = 4.0 Pol full courses or their equivalent
Here’s the basic formula for you:
Option 3 + Option a = 19 credits (ie good to go)
So it’s up to you if you would like to have a major or minor in poli sci and if it exceed the 20 credits or not depending on the Commerce Specialization you choose .

Oh geez there are more options. If economics is the field that what to study you can choose a non-rotmans/commerce degree of economics, which has various specialists, majors and minors to choose from.

So in short, yes, you can.
