Program Description Boasting one of the highest pass rates on the chartered accountancy exam, Algoma University’s 4-year Bachelor of Business Administration program with a Minor in Accounting continuously graduates students who are highly employable in their field of study.
With a 95 per cent pass rate on their first try, and 100 per cent on their second try at writing the legacy Chartered Accountant three-day Uniform Evaluation (UFE), and now the new Chartered Professional Accountant’s Common Final Exam (CFE) it is no surprise to see today’s competitive work world filled with professionally-designated Algoma U accountants.
Our program is the perfect fit for students who have an aptitude for numbers, organizing, and analytical problem-solving skills. Students will gain a strong understanding of managerial accounting, income taxation, finance, auditing, and analysis of general and management practices. Our program provides students with a pathway into an array of accounting career opportunities, including the opportunity to pursue the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation after graduation. Our accounting program also helps prepare students to become a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), and our courses are recognized by the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association of Canada (AFOA), which can prepare students to become Certified Aboriginal Financial Managers (CAFM certification).* A degree in accounting, complemented with a professional designation, makes our students of increased value to employers, and enhances their employment prospects after graduation.
