Overview
This Certificate in Accounting Sciences at Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi is a 30-credit, on-campus program with admission in fall and winter terms. It is designed for people seeking to build or update their accounting knowledge for professional application, particularly working professionals returning to university study, and lets students tailor their curriculum through numerous elective accounting courses to suit their professional interests; all of its courses count toward UQAC's bachelor's degree in accounting for graduates who continue their studies. The 30-credit curriculum combines six required courses on financial management, fundamental accounting concepts, the accounting profession, governance, performance management, and financial accounting, with five elective courses chosen from fourteen options covering financial planning, management accounting, taxation, accounting systems, and data analysis. Admission is open to DEC holders who meet the program's mathematics requirement or complete a remedial mathematics course; to applicants who have completed at least 15 relevant university credits with a cumulative average of at least 2.3 on 4.3 and college-level mathematics competency; and to applicants able to show appropriate knowledge together with one year of full-time relevant experience in an administration-related field, certified in writing by an employer.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.30 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Admission follows UQAC's base system, with intake each fall and winter. Quebec DEC holders qualify with a DEC or its equivalent; applicants lacking a college-level mathematics course must pass a placement test or complete the remedial course 8MAT146. University-route applicants qualify with at least 15 completed, program-relevant university credits, a cumulative average of at least 2.3 on 4.3, and college-level mathematics competency. Applicants without these credentials may qualify under the sufficient-preparation base by demonstrating appropriate knowledge in mathematics and study methodology, potentially through an interview and preparatory workshops, together with one year of full-time relevant experience in an administration-related field, certified in writing by an employer.
