Our history
Commerce education at the University of Toronto began in 1901 with a diploma program offered by the Faculty of Arts. A Bachelor of Arts in Commerce and Finance followed in 1909, evolving into the Bachelor of Commerce in 1920. From the beginning, the program has combined business education with a strong foundation in the liberal arts—a tradition that continues today.
