The Accounting Certificate program equips students with foundational skills for bookkeeping and accounting roles, or serves as a stepping stone toward an Accounting Diploma.
This program features a focused curriculum covering basic and intermediate financial and management accounting, along with mathematics, finance, and taxation courses. The certificate's structure directly supports progression into the Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting (BBA), Accounting Diploma, and CPA certification pathways.
Since introductory financial accounting is a prerequisite for advanced courses, students typically need a minimum of three semesters to complete all requirements for the Accounting Certificate.
You have graduated high school (secondary school) OR completed 24+ credits of undergraduate-level credits with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
