Program details
Overview
Accounting and Financial Management is a three-year Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) profile of Dawson College's Administration and Management Technology program, focused on handling and analyzing financial data for organizations. The curriculum covers processing and interpreting accounting information, reviewing investment opportunities, managing budgets and payroll, supporting business planning decisions, and using digital tools for accounting and financial tasks. Two internship opportunities are built into the program, including a placement in the final year paired with the development of a business plan, and students have access to a dedicated computer lab and the Business Administration Students' Association resource room. The program suits students who enjoy working with numbers and solving financial problems, and who want a technical qualification that leads directly into accounting, finance or management roles. Graduates who continue to university may receive advanced standing at Concordia's John Molson School of Business, with exemptions from up to five courses. Admission requires a Secondary V diploma.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states only that applicants need a Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies (DES), or an academic background judged equivalent, and points to a 'Program Specific Requirements' section of the college's admissions site for further prerequisites, which is not detailed on the pages reviewed. No minimum grades, specific secondary courses, or English-language test scores are published on the programme's own pages; English proficiency therefore defaults to Dawson College's general policy: applicants whose mother tongue or secondary-school language of instruction was not English must submit TOEFL iBT (minimum 4), IELTS Academic (minimum 6.0 overall), PTE Academic (minimum 50), or Duolingo (minimum 95-100 overall), valid for two years from the exam date. The application deadline is March 1.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply directly through the Dawson College Application System rather than SRAM. Applications for Winter 2027 opened 22 September 2026 with a deadline of 1 November 2026; however, international students are not eligible to apply for the Winter semester unless they already hold a valid CAQ/CSQ and Study Permit naming Dawson College, given Quebec's study-authorization processing times. Fall admission's standing deadline is 1 March, though Fall 2027 application dates were not yet posted as of September 2026 (Fall 2026 closed on 1 March 2026 with no late applications accepted). Admission is not described as rolling; these are firm deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
