Business Administration Accounting
 

Canadore’s three-year Business Administration - Accounting program will help you develop the accounting and financial skills required to start your financial career. You will develop technical and interpersonal skills through hands-on participation in case studies and simulation projects that cover financial, cost and management accounting systems in detail.

Canadore’s Business programs maintain continuing relations with the Certified General Accountants Association and other professional groups. Exemption arrangements have been established between Canadore College and the CGA, enabling most of our Business Administration – Accounting students to complete the first three levels of the CGA program prior to graduation.

After graduation, many Business Administration - Accounting students pursue studies leading to professional accounting designations with associations such as Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified General Accountants (CGA) or Chartered Accountant (CA), or with other recognized professional accounting and related associations.
