Diploma in Accounting and Finance

This technical Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) in Accounting and Finance at Cégep de Jonquière is delivered over six semesters and combines progressively advanced accounting coursework with broader business-management training. Students study financial analysis, budgeting, cost accounting, personal and corporate taxation, and accounting software and simulation tools, alongside foundational business topics such as enterprise operations, marketing, recruitment, and commercial law. General-education courses in philosophy, French, English, and ethics run throughout the program. Two internships punctuate the training: an earlier placement that exposes students to a professional accounting environment, and a longer final-semester placement in which they take on more integrated responsibilities within a workplace. In the last semester, students may choose electives such as specialized accounting practices or a tax-clinic course to focus on particular interests within the field. The program suits students who are detail-oriented and comfortable working with numbers, and it prepares graduates for roles such as accounting technician, financial-analysis assistant, or general business-administration positions in corporate, government, or non-profit organizations.
