Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program, offered as a Major or Honours concentration within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Business Administration degree, builds a foundation in accounting alongside broader business studies. The concentration can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms, and is delivered on campus. Students have access to a co-operative education option that combines academic study with full-time paid work terms, integrating workplace experience into the degree. The program frames accounting as foundational to business generally, preparing graduates for career paths that extend beyond public accounting into senior management, government, consulting, teaching, auditing, and finance roles. The Honours concentration is accredited by the Order of Certified Professional Accountants of Quebec, a relevant credential for students planning to pursue professional accounting designation in the province. The program suits students seeking a business degree with a strong technical grounding in accounting, whether they intend to pursue professional accounting certification or to apply accounting knowledge within broader management, consulting, or finance careers. Its co-op option additionally suits students who want workplace experience built into their undergraduate studies rather than pursuing internships separately after graduation.
