Program details
Overview
The Certificate in Accounting at Mount Saint Vincent University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, provides a foundation in accounting for students already working in the accounting field and for those with non-business university degrees who hold administrative positions. It is intended for applicants already in business or allied fields, or those holding at least 5.0 units of university credit. The certificate consists of 5.0 units in total: 2.5 units of required accounting courses and 2.5 units of business electives, and students must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA across those 5.0 units to receive the certificate. It can be completed through online learning on a part-time or full-time basis. Students may take the certificate as a standalone credential or concurrently with another Mount Saint Vincent University program, in which case the university's rules on multiple credentials apply. The certificate suits students seeking focused accounting training alongside existing work experience or another degree, rather than a full Bachelor of Business Administration.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Certificate in Accounting is intended for students already working in business or allied fields, or those holding at least 5.0 units of university credit; admission otherwise follows Mount Saint Vincent University's general admission requirements (sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.6 of the undergraduate calendar). Transfer or non-degree students must have a GPA of 2.0 over 3.0 units to be admitted to the certificate.
