Accounting
The Bachelor of Accounting program is designed for students pursuing a career as a Chartered Accountant. The program is professionally oriented and combines studies in Accounting and other Business disciplines with studies in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Mathematics and Science.
The Bachelor of Accounting Co-Op program is the second largest in Ontario and is fully accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario. The academic and work study program includes all of the course requirements of the BAcc degree, as well as four work term placements, equivalent to sixteen to twenty of the thirty months required to receive your professional CA designation.
To ensure every student of the co-op stream receives the coaching and support needed to make the transition from school to work, spaces are limited. Students applying to the program will be selected on the basis of their academic performance, skills and attributes.
Each of the work terms completed is either four or eight months in duration, and are generally situated during tax season so as to provide an increased learning experience for the student, and improved productivity for the employer CA firm. Work terms give students experience in a variety of areas including tax, and auditing.
