The core studies within this focus highlight African, Caribbean and Indigenous cultures and economies. If you have taken a course other than the electives listed for the focus in the A&S Calendar, you may request to have the course accepted towards the focus requirements if you feel it aligns with or complements the study of these diverse economies. Decisions will be at the discretion of the Director, Rotman Commerce.
Please send your written request to rotmancommerce.info@utoronto.ca
Only courses that are listed as elective course options for the focus in the A&S Calendar will automatically be counted towards fulfilling the focus. If you have taken an elective course that is not on the list that you feel is relevant to the focus, you may make a request to have it considered. Decisions will be at the discretion of the Director, Rotman Commerce.

This is the capstone course of the focus “Managing in Diverse Economies”. It is designed to synthesize student learning from the focus, providing an opportunity for students to build on, analyze and apply what they have learned from other chosen courses of the focus. Because the focus itself is broad, students may have taken courses in African, Caribbean and/or Indigenous Studies. This course enables students to pursue further depth in an area of interest.
