Business Administration Post Bachelor's Certificate - Advanced Accounting

The Business Administration Post Bachelor's Certificate in Advanced Accounting is offered by the Bissett School of Business for students who already hold a post-secondary degree and want to build accounting knowledge or move into the accounting profession. The certificate combines a core group of general business courses with a set of accounting-focused options, covering both the theoretical and practical sides of the field. Admission requires a post-secondary degree and completion of ACCT 2121 - Financial Accounting Concepts. Because accounting courses must be taken in sequence, the certificate typically takes three to four semesters, or 18 months to two years, to complete. It suits professionals seeking to supplement a current role, change careers into or within accounting, or complete prerequisite courses before entering the CPA Professional Education Program. Graduates gain an employer-valued background in accounting principles and practice that can be applied in the workplace or used as a bridge into further professional accounting study.
