About the Program

Designed for students aiming to transition directly into professional financial roles, this Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting bridges the gap between academic theory and the modern workplace. You will develop a robust foundation in financial reporting, taxation, auditing, and management accounting through a curriculum that prioritizes applied skills and real-world competency. By integrating industry-relevant projects and optional cooperative education placements, the program ensures you are not just studying accounting, but practicing it.

This degree is particularly well-suited for those pursuing professional designations, as it satisfies the entrance requirements for the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Professional Education Program (PEP) and aligns with the Certified Aboriginal Financial Manager (CAFM) designation requirements. With a flexible delivery model featuring day, evening, online, and hybrid options, the program accommodates both full-time learners and working professionals.
