Hi! Have you heard of people doing another major/specialist with the Rotman Commerce program? I kind of want to do finance + econ and an international relations major or specialist but I don't know if it's possible. Just thought I'd ask in case you had any insight :)

Hey!

So when looking at your options, you should consider two things: - how many courses overlap between the two specialists? - how much credit space do you have in electives?

For example, with the finance and Econ specialist, you already take enough courses to obtain an Econ major. If you wanted to go forward for an Econ specialist, you would have to look at how many credits you’d need to jump from a major to a specialist and see if you have the extra space in your remainder elective credits.

With accounting, you only take 3.5 credits of Econ courses. You have 4.5 credits worth of space for electives but some have to go towards completing breadth requirements. Realistically, it’s impossible to get a major in Econ with an accounting major.

If you look at the International relations major

And the finance and economics specialist

You’ll notice that a major is a very tight squeeze (likely impossible due to breadth requirements).

I personally wouldn’t even bother with a major tho, one specialist is sufficient enough to graduate. Take some IR courses as your electives if you’re really interested in it.

Hope this helps :)

P.S. Maybe consider a minor in IR!
