Bcom vs BBA degrees
Thoughts on if they place any factor into general finance recruiting, specifically amongst Canadian business schools. UofT BBA here, not Rotman

Yeah it does matter, but more because of program reputation, not the degree title itself.
Rotman is generally viewed as UofT’s flagship business program, and recruiters absolutely know the difference between Rotman at UTSG and something like UTSC BBA. If you’re deciding between UTSC BBA and Rotman, I’d strongly recommend Rotman, UTSC just doesn’t place well.
More broadly, when you’re comparing something like Laurier BBA vs Rotman BCom, the BBA vs BCom part isn’t the factor. At that point it comes down to placement, co-op, alumni network, and recruiting pipelines
If UTSC BBA ends up being your only option out of high school and your goal is competitive finance, it may honestly be worth considering a gap year to improve your average (night/summer/private courses) and strengthen your extracurriculars for the next admissions cycle
Canada’s ecosystem is small, and program pedigree matters a lot. Coming from a target (Ivey HBA, Queen’s Commerce) or a strong semi-target with co-op (Waterloo AFM, Laurier BBA) makes the path significantly easier.
Bottom line: in Canada, it’s the school/program and its track record that matters, not whether the degree says BBA or BCom.
Tysm, What about UBC sauder, Schulich bba, mcgill desautel?
McGill > Sauder > Schulich
Oh damn I really fucked up. I had a chance to choose UTSC BBA&HBSC Coop, Desautels, Laurier BBA and Waterloo FARM last year and I finally chose UTSC. Seems like it is the worst choice I have ever made... Is it still possible for me to get a job in IB/PE in Canada?
