Program details
Overview
Langara Continuing Studies delivers this part-time, in-person diploma over a minimum of two years, with January, May and September start dates, for students targeting accounting and finance management roles. It combines accounting subjects with general business coursework and information technology tools, developing the knowledge and skills needed to communicate, manage and lead in today's business environment. Courses are recognised by the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC and satisfy CPA preparatory course requirements, so graduates who also hold a bachelor's degree meet the requirements to enter the CPA Professional Education Program. Students with previous post-secondary study can request a transcript assessment for prerequisite approval or exemptions, and international students are accommodated.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program's own page sets out no academic or English-language entry criteria beyond noting that international students must meet Langara's Academic, English Proficiency, and Study Permit requirements, so admission follows the college's general standards on its Admission Requirements and English Requirements pages. Domestic applicants need BC Grade 12 graduation (or the equivalent) or must be 19 years of age or older; international applicants need BC Grade 12 graduation or the equivalent. English-language proficiency follows Langara's Category 3 baseline: English Studies 12, English First Peoples 12, or Literary Studies 12 at 50%, or IELTS Academic 6.5, Duolingo English Test 110, TOEFL iBT 80 (Writing 20, Reading 20, Listening 18, Speaking 18), CAEL 60, or PTE Academic 56, or four years of full-time study in an English-language school system, unless the program's own Admissions tab sets a higher category. Applicants with relevant prior coursework may apply to have it credited as a prerequisite or exemption by submitting official transcripts with a completed Exemption/Prerequisite Approval Form before registering.
Application Details
Start Date:January, May, and September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC: for the 2027 entry cycle, applications open 1 February 2026 for Spring (January) entry, 1 June 2026 for Summer (May) entry and 1 October 2026 for Fall (September) entry, then stay open with no fixed closing date until each programme fills or classes begin. International applicants use the same EducationPlannerBC portal but face fixed closing dates: 30 September 2026 for Spring 2027, 31 January 2027 for Summer 2027 and 31 May 2027 for Fall 2027. A short list of limited-enrolment programmes - Nursing, Advanced Entry BSN, Nursing Practice in Canada, Applied Science for Engineering and the Post-Degree Diploma in Data Analytics - set their own, earlier deadlines that apply to both applicant types. Admission is otherwise rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
