HI ASKASTUDENT
Thanks for answering most people’s posts. This is an urgent inquiry. I have selected social sciences in the faculty of arts and science in the st.georges campus at UofT. However, i want to pursue a bcomm. degree rather than a BA degree. By looking around, i found out? that you only get a Bcomm.degree if you apply to rotman commerce. However, i did not. Please?help me and tell me if i can still get a bcomm. degree if i specialize in economics which is availble in the faculty of arts and science, as it says on the UofT website that “*in order to recieve a BComm. Degree, candidates must specalize in either: Finance, Accounting or economics”*
Best Regards

To be fair, this isn’t THAT urgent.
Urgent means time sensitive. This is something that can’t really be dealt with until around November or later.
But yeah, to get a BCom from UofT requires enrolment in the Rotman Commerce program. Specializing in Economics is just going to get you an Honours Bachelor of Science. Now you have two options at this point:
Numero uno: applying as a first year student from the Faculty of Arts and Science. Basically, you’ll spend first year as an artsci student but you’ll have to take RSM100Y, ECO100Y, and some 100-level math(s) and get certain grades in certain courses and then achieve a certain advertised average which is certainly a LIIIIIIE. Or well, it’s not a lie, it’s just a bit… The average they say you’ll need to get is 73%, but really, you better be in the freaking 90s if you want to get in.
Numero dos: don’t go to UofT this year and then just reapply, this time thinking ahead and actually making sure that the program you’re applying to ends in a BCom. I mean like how the heck didn’t you notice you’d get a B.A. You applied to social sciences dude!
Rotman Commerce is a super competitive program though so make sure you have all the requirements and a realistic outlook before applying to it.
Cheers!
