Mohawk College offers Diploma in Business - Accounting (Co-op), a diploma in Business Administration programme in Hamilton, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 9,215 per semester (CAD 1,354 per semester for local students).
This co-op version of the two-year accounting programme pairs classroom theory with hands-on work in accounting procedures and systems, including how the accounting function supports planning and control of business operations, and builds in an optional one-year work placement alongside that training. Students work with industry software such as QuickBooks Online, UFile tax preparation software, and Microsoft Excel under faculty holding Chartered Professional Accountant designations, with options to continue into the Business Administration - Accounting advanced diploma or pursue further transfer credit toward a CPA designation.

Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through Ontario Colleges: for a September start Mohawk's equal-consideration date is 1 February (1 February 2027 for the next fall intake), and for a January start it is 1 June; after either date, files are considered first-come, first-served while seats remain, with permanent residents of Ontario prioritized, then other Canadian residents, then international applicants. International applicants apply via OCAS's International Application Service on a per-intake deadline rather than one annual date: for January 2027 entry, applications opened February 2026 and the submission deadline is 1 November 2026; Mohawk had not yet published a deadline for the September 2027 intake as of this check. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
