Accounting

If you decide to specialize in accounting you may also wish to join one of the professional accounting bodies such as the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Certified General Accountants or the Society of Management Accountants of Canada. Many of the courses you take within your program may count toward a professional designation. However, some of the courses required by the professional associations are not necessarily required in our Accounting program; those courses can therefore be taken as electives or as additional courses to your program.

Since there is a common core of courses in all bachelor programs at the Telfer School of Management, your decision to specialize in accounting may be postponed until the fall session of the second year. The course ADM2342 Intermediate Accounting I sets the stage for further studies in the area; you must take this course during the winter of the second year.

Within the accounting program, you may decide to take the regular program or you may be interested in applying to the co-operative education program.
