The Honours Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting allows students to build a solid foundation in financial and managerial accounting, auditing and taxation. Students not only learn how to produce accurate financial statements, but also study more complex topics in accounting.
As part of their program, students are able to specialize and take all the courses required to apply for Ontario's Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) designation, or to be flexible and take a more general accounting stream.
This program is offered in English and in French.
Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Science Management (Research Project) Pathway
This exciting integrated accelerated bachelor’s/master’s program allows students to earn two degrees in five years. Designed for students with a strong academic record and a keen interest in conducting business research, this integrated program enables select undergraduate students to get a jump-start in their project-based master’s program by completing two graduate courses during their last year of the undergraduate degree, and starting their research project in a familiar environment over the summer bridge term between the bachelor’s and master’s programs. This integrated program focuses on empowering students to develop their business acumen and research skills in a specialized field of study, and to contribute towards smarter decisions about policy and practice in creating a better Canada.
For further information on this Dual Fast-track Degree, please communicate with the Student Services Centre via undergraduate@telfer.uottawa.ca.
The option in accounting allows undergraduate students to build a solid foundation in the accounting discipline, including financial accounting, management accounting and taxation, without leading to the Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.
Bridge to the specialization in accounting: A minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 6.0 is required to transfer from the option in accounting to the specialization in accounting.
Co-operative education is available with this program.
The French immersion stream is available with this program.
