What it is	Rotman Commerce is an undergraduate business degree covering accounting, economics, finance, and management. Unlike general commerce programs, it includes mandatory co-op work terms where you earn money and gain real workplace experience alongside your studies. It suits students who want practical business training combined with classroom theory and are willing to plan their schedule around work semesters.	Accounting is the study of how organizations record, manage, and report their money. You learn to prepare financial statements, handle taxes, audit records, and advise on business decisions based on financial data. This program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work at accounting firms or in corporate finance departments, giving you real experience before you graduate.	This is a two-year applied business program covering accounting, finance, management, and economics fundamentals. Unlike a four-year bachelor's degree, it gets you working faster with practical skills employers want immediately. It suits students who want hands-on business training without the length or theory-heavy focus of a university degree.	You study the theory and practice of running organizations and businesses. The program covers accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and management, with flexibility to focus on areas that interest you most. It includes a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience in real organizations, which suits people who want to apply what they learn and build professional networks while studying.
