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.	This program teaches you economic theory and financial practice together — how money moves through systems, markets behave, and organizations manage their finances. Unlike a pure economics degree, you spend significant time on applied finance: investment decisions, corporate finance, and financial analysis. It suits people who want to understand both the big economic picture and the practical side of managing money.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
