    About the Curriculum

    A Common First Year

    A common first year provides a solid overview to business. Students will study accounting procedures and theory, auditing, taxation, law, information systems and management. They will be trained in Access, Excel, Simply Accounting and ACCPAC Plus. And have the ability to access the Humber Accounting Centre and WebCT for assistance outside of the classroom.

    How it Works

    In first year students are introduced to accounting, information systems, financial mathematics, computer applications and business writing. At this point, students have the option to choose between a 2 or 3-year program. A 70% average or higher is required for admission into the co-op or 3-year program.

    For students who want to graduate sooner, a second and final year will include more advanced course and computer software applications.

     

  • Professional Accreditation

    This program is recognized by Certified General Accountants (CGA), the Canadian Institute of Bookkeeping, the Canadian Payroll Association, and the Canadian Institute of Financial Planners (CIFP).

    Note: Students must obtain 70 per cent or more in CGA approved courses to receive CGA credit.

  • Your Career

  • Additional Information

    Businesses begin, expand and continue to prosper with the support of accounting expertise. Accountants help determine if an idea is financially viable. If sufficient capital is available. If a product is cost-effective or if the distribution process has financial merit.

    Accountants Do More than just Balance the Books

    Accounting input and expertise can decide if a rock band can tour North America or tour the world. If a homegrown Canadian company is ready to make the jump to multi-national status or if a client is ready to diversify a personal portfolio into more risky ventures.

    Accounting. Far from Boring.

    As business perceptions and tax law change – accounting changes too. As an accounting expert, you will look forward to continued learning and skill development to meet the changing needs of your clients.

    Real Education

    Our state-of-the-art Accounting Centre offers expert help specifically tailored to our programs, as well as all the software and equipment you need to keep up with your studies - all easily accessible to all Accounting students.

  • Study Options

    Graduates with an overall GPA of 75 per cent or higher will be considered for admission to Humber’s four-year Bachelor of Commerce – Accounting degree program. Graduates may then complete the degree with the equivalent of six semesters of full-time study plus a paid work term.

    Successful applicants must also possess ENG4U or Humber’s COMM 200 or COMM 300, or equivalent, with a grade of 70 per cent; plus any Grade 12 U level Mathematics or Humber’s BMAT 210 and BSTA 300, or equivalent, with an average of 70 per cent.

    Students who plan to immediately obtain a degree and a professional designation such as Certified General Accountant (CGA) should choose the three-year Accounting program 02111. Those who have the same long-term goals but intend to find a job may want to choose the two-year diploma program and continue later as financing further study becomes more viable.

    As well, qualified graduates of this program may be eligible to apply their academic credits toward further study at many postsecondary institutions. For detailed information, visit our website at humber.ca/transferguide.
