Program details
Overview
Co-op stream of Seneca's three-year Accounting & Finance advanced diploma, pairing coursework in financial and managerial accounting, taxation, auditing and financial management with a typically paid full-time co-op work term taken between academic semesters. Co-op eligibility must be maintained, the placement search is student-driven with support from career workshops and one-on-one coaching, and students may transfer to the non-co-op stream at any time. Graduates can continue toward the CPA designation through the Honours Bachelor of Commerce - Accounting & Finance pathway.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, plus a Grade 12 C or U English course and a Grade 12 C or U (or Grade 11 U or M) mathematics course, each or equivalent. Canadian citizens and permanent residents who fall short of either subject may instead qualify by passing Seneca's own pre-admission test, and the college recommends upgrading for applicants who do not meet the academic subject requirements. International applicants must separately satisfy Seneca's English-language requirements, with additional documents or assessments requested according to home country. Once enrolled, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in first year and a minimum grade of C in program course ACC220; the admission page lists no portfolio or interview requirement.
