At Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Canada, BA/BS in Accounting is offered as a bachelor's degree in Accounting programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 37,877 per year (CAD 10,358 per year for local students).
This program leads to a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) with an Accounting major over four years, delivered in-class at the North Oshawa campus, and is accredited by CPA Ontario, so completing all required courses makes graduates eligible to enter the CPA Professional Education Program on the path to becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant. Coursework develops professional judgment and critical-thinking skills for accounting practice. Students can pursue internship work placements, locally or abroad, or take part in Capstone study projects in which a student team provides consulting services to an industry partner, alongside case-study analysis, computer simulations, and field-based projects. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms, available to new applicants directly and to transfer students after a transfer-credit assessment. It suits students aiming at accounting-related careers such as accountant, auditor, financial analyst, tax accountant, or controller.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Accounting beyond the OSSD prerequisites it lists and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U) at a minimum 60 per cent average, and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U) at a minimum 60 per cent average. Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins each September.
