Applicants who are not graduates of, or currently in, the University of Toronto Scarborough – B.B.A. (Specialist in Management and Accounting) must have taken MGAD70 in addition to the other required courses, and all these course grades must exceed 60% and will be included when calculating their overall average for entry into the program.
