YEAR PLAN

CPA-Approved Prerequisite Courses Accounting courses offered through both the BBA and iBBA programs allow students to obtain the required knowledge to pursue either the Schulich Master of Accounting (MAcc) after graduation, or enrol in the CPA PEP program. Both pathways lead to the much sought-after CPA designation.

Experiential Education Opportunities Work Placement electives provide an opportunity to earn credit while gaining relevant experience.

Students apply theories and concepts learned in their core business classes in a practice-based work context, then reflect upon their actions and decisions.

“ I chose to do the Certificate in International Management because I wanted to gain a global business perspective. Knowledgeable professors, insightful guest speakers, and eye-opening site visits taught me the importance of international collaboration and the positive aspects of having free trade between international markets.”
