Question

Guys can we do two majors at Rotman or is it strictly one major? And can we chose electives from other majors?

I don't think you should get hung up on going with a major. From what I know, employers don't care what major you have, just that you have a Rotman MBA. I also don't think you have enough credits to do more than one major, although I can be wrong. If you have leftover credits, of course you can choose courses from other majors.

Decisions for choosing courses is entirely per course. What I mean is that you are choosing particular courses, not choosing majors and get shuffled into the courses. Does this make sense? All my colleagues that I have spoken with are not choosing majors, just second year courses that they're interested in doing. Nothing wrong with a general MBA!

you can actually do more than one major, although i've only been able to fit two majors. thats because of the courses fit into more than one major. for example, the healthcare strategy elective can be used for either the healthcare major or the consulting major. although, now that i think about it, there might be a rule stating that one course can be used for only one major. hmm, guess i'll have to ask.

Hey Guys, Luckily for you, majors don't even matter from an employer's perspective! So don't worry too much about being able to major in something, double majors, etc :-)

I'll explain: Say we have 2 hypothetical students, both of whom want to work in in the health care sector upon graduation. Student A: Does the health sector management major and does nothing but go to class and pump out straight A's. Student B: Takes a random bunch of courses that are of interest to her. Does reasonably well but maybe not all A's. However on the side, does A TON of networking in the health sector, gets super involved with the Rotman Healthcare Management Association (our student club for this sector), gets really involved with the team in our Centre for Health Sector Strategy etc. Student A might be invited for a ton of job interviews but student B will actually get a job. The point is, majors are not important (this is a blanket statement for MBAs in general, not just here at Rotman). What is, is doing the things necessary to get you a job post-MBA. :-)
