The Bachelor of Accounting consists of eight Advanced Technical Specialty courses and 36 credits of General Education. Full-time students also have the option to complete a Workplace Education component.
If you have completed a BCIT Accounting, Finance, or Financial Planning diploma, you can earn your Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) at BCIT. This degree will provide you with an academic credential leading to a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) designation, a MPAcc (Master of Professional Accounting), or an MBA program. Students completing this program will acquire the key technical, interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills demanded by employers. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Due to the extensive content covered in the BCIT Accounting and Finance Diploma programs, the majority of students accepted into the Bachelor of Accounting have completed a BCIT diploma. If the applicant has completed a diploma at another institution, they should email an unofficial pdf copy of their transcript to bachelor_accounting@bcit.ca for review by the department before proceeding with the application process.
