*The combination of (STA220H1, STA255H1) is considered equivalent to ECO220Y1 for the purposes of completing Rotman Commerce program requirements only. It is not considered equivalent by the department of Economics. Therefore (STA220H1, STA255H1) will not count towards an ECO major nor will it count as a pre-requisite for 300+ level ECO courses where ECO220Y1 is required. Please consult the Rotman Commerce Program office if you are considering taking (STA220H1, STA255H1) to complete your requirements.

Notes:

Note 1Students may enrol in only one Rotman Commerce Specialist.

Note 2Students must take a minimum of 8.0 credits in RSM and 8.0 credits in non-RSM courses. MGT100H1 is considered equivalent to RSM100H1 and counts as 0.5 credit in RSM courses towards this requirement.

Note 3The CR/NCR option cannot be used for any program completion requirements, and the 8.0 RSM credit requirement. Refer to the RC website for CR/NCR details.
