You?ll get to practise with QuickBooks, Excel, data analytics and Sage 50 Accounting software. Once you graduate, you will be equipped to take on junior management positions, including managing a firm’s financial, general or cost accounting areas, accounting information systems, or financial management practices, in small to medium-sized firms.
We offer year-round day and evening courses to both part-time and full-time students and provide you with flexibility while earning your credential.
Get work experience while you study
Put your skills to work by joining the optional?Co-operative Education Program, which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You?ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance.
In the?Business Internship Program,?you?ll apply the theory and knowledge you?ve learned in class into a real-world business setting.
