Bachelor of Accounting

A Streamlined Pathway to the CPA Designation

Building upon a legacy of accounting excellence and as a leader in accounting education, the Sprott School of Business is excited to launch the Bachelor of Accounting* (BAcc). The BAcc exposes students to advanced accounting topics identified by industry and aligned to the recent changes in the CPA competency map.

Delivered by award-winning faculty, the BAcc provides students with advanced and in-depth knowledge of accounting theory and practices, preparing students to pursue the Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) designation post graduation.

The Sprott School of Business is accredited by AACSB International and the Network of International Business Schools (NIBS).
