Minors for Management Students
Minor programs offered in the Faculties of Arts and Science may be taken in conjunction with any B.Com. program, unless specified otherwise by the department. It is recommended to consult with an appropriate departmental advisor before pursuing a minor.
It is the student's responsibility to make sure that courses taken towards the minor fulfill the minor requirements when doing a Degree Evaluation on Minerva. Students must complete a Desautels Faculty of Management Minor Approval Form listing the courses being applied to the minor and get it signed by the minor advisor in the relevant department, returning the signed form to the BCom Student Affairs Office. Failure to do so may result in the Minor not being granted.
For the Minor in Economics, students must complete 18 credits of material that does not overlap with Management course content. A maximum of 6 credits will be permitted within the BCom program for MGCR 293 Managerial Economics. and ECON 230D1 Microeconomic Theory./ECON 230D2 Microeconomic Theory. or ECON 250D1 Introduction to Economic Theory: Honours./ECON 250D2 Introduction to Economic Theory: Honours., and a maximum of 6 for MGCR 294 The Firm in the Macroeconomy. or ECON 332 Macroeconomic Theory: Majors 1. and ECON 333 Macroeconomic Theory - Majors 2. or ECON 330D1 /ECON 330D2 or ECON 352D1 /ECON 352D2 . Students interested in this minor must obtain approval from the BCom Office.
Students considering a Minor in Mathematics, Statistics, or Computer Science must take MATH 133 Linear Algebra and Geometry., MATH 140 Calculus 1., and MATH 141 Calculus 2. and should consult with an advisor in the appropriate department.
Students planning to take the Minor in Statistics are advised to substitute MATH 324 Statistics. for MGCR 271 Business Statistics.. That course will then count as 3 credits toward the minor. If the decision to take a minor program is made after MGCR 271 Business Statistics. has been taken, students who wish to take MATH 324 Statistics. will receive three additional credits; however, MATH 324 Statistics. will only count toward the 18-credit minor requirement. Students should check for overlap between statistics courses with the BCom Student Affairs Office.
