Studying Finance in Ontario

Western University

Apply to DAN Management & Organizational Studies (ED)

You choose finance after first year — you apply to your BMOS module.

Finance is a DAN MOS discipline chosen after first year, not an entry program — you apply to ED. The Honours Specialization in Finance needs a 73% average in your 3.0 principal first-year courses with nothing below 60%, and enrolment is limited; a plain Specialization needs a 65% cumulative average. DAN's admission page notes MCV4U (or a university calculus course) is required for students taking the economics side of the program, so take MCV4U even though only two of MHF4U/MCV4U/MDM4U are needed for admission. Economics itself is a different faculty and code (Social Science, EO).

McMaster University

Apply to Business I

You choose finance after your first two foundational years in Commerce.

Same door as every other Commerce student — Business I, then Finance is one of seven areas of focus chosen after year two. If you want the quantitative route instead, Honours Actuarial and Financial Mathematics comes off the Mathematics & Statistics Gateway and needs its own supplementary application in first year.

University of Toronto — St. George

Apply to Rotman Commerce

You choose finance after first year, when you select your specialist.

The stream is called Finance and Economics — a BCom Specialist under TAC, chosen at the end of first year inside Rotman Commerce. Do not confuse it with the Financial Economics Specialist, which U of T confirms is a separate HBSc reached through Mathematical & Physical Sciences (tpg).

University of Toronto — Scarborough

Apply to Management

You choose finance end of first year, when you request the Management & Finance specialist.

Management and Finance is a specialist inside the BBA (TSM). The separate Management & Finance (BBA) + Statistics (HBSc) double degree is its own admission category and OUAC code, TXQ — high 80s, direct from high school only — and is not in this dataset.

Carleton University

Apply to Commerce (CC)

You choose finance inside the Commerce degree, as a concentration chosen after admission.

Finance is a concentration within the Bachelor of Commerce (CC, 80%), not a separate application. You apply to Commerce and take the Finance concentration.

Wilfrid Laurier University — Waterloo

Apply to Economics (UZE)

You choose finance inside the Economics degree, as the Economics and Financial Management stream.

Laurier has no standalone finance degree from Grade 12. Economics and Financial Management is a BA stream entered through Economics (UZE, low-80s). Financial Mathematics and Analytics (UZI, mid-70s) is the quantitative route, and the BBA (UB, high-80s) has a finance concentration inside it.

York University

Apply to Business Administration (BBA) (YBA)

You choose finance inside the BBA, as a specialization chosen after entry.

The Commerce (BCom) code this route previously used no longer appears on OUInfo for 2027 entry; the listed door into finance at Keele is the Schulich BBA, which declares specializations after entry.

Brock University

Apply to Business Administration (BN)

You choose finance inside the BBA, as a concentration chosen after admission.
