Program details

Overview

Four-year honours commerce degree at Newnham Campus combining corporate financial management with personal financial planning, including a mandatory co-op work term of at least 420 hours between second and third year. The curriculum prepares graduates for the CFP, QAFP and PFP professional certifications and for careers in financial advisory, wealth management and business analysis. Seneca has suspended first-semester intake for this program until further notice; upper-year semesters continue for current students.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission is based on an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, built on six Grade 12 U or M courses with a minimum overall average of 65%. Two subjects must each be completed at a minimum final grade of 65%: English (Grade 12 ENG4U) and any Grade 12 U mathematics course. Seneca lets Canadian citizens and permanent residents who fall short on either subject clear it instead through the college's own pre-admission test, and offers free upgrading courses for applicants below the required level. International applicants must instead meet Seneca's general English-proficiency admission requirements, with country-specific supporting documents or assessments requested where needed. No portfolio, interview, GPA minimum or work-experience component is stated for this program.
