Program details

Overview

The Programme court en comptabilité financière (Short Program in Financial Accounting) at Université du Québec en Outaouais is a 12-credit, first-cycle program made up of four courses delivered part-time at the St-Jérôme campus. It gives students in administrative or accounting-adjacent roles who lack formal accounting training the essential knowledge needed to manage internal controls and prepare financial statements. The program targets working professionals seeking a compact, applied credential rather than a full accounting degree, and its credits can typically be carried into a longer accounting credential. Coursework focuses on the practical fundamentals of financial accounting rather than broader business theory. It suits professionals already working in bookkeeping or administrative finance roles who need a recognized, university-level grounding in financial accounting principles without committing to a multi-year program. Admission is offered across the fall, winter, and summer trimesters.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Three admission pathways. Collegial pathway: hold a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) or equivalent. University pathway: have successfully completed at least 15 university credits with a cumulative average of at least 2.0 on 4.3. Experience pathway: have appropriate knowledge and at least six months of work experience in a role providing experience in the field of accounting. The program is delivered part-time at the St-Jérôme campus.
