Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc)

Goodman’s Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) program has been designed specifically for future accountants, and has rigorous academic courses integrated with a professional orientation.

The program has limited enrollment and is offered as a four-year honours program with a co-op option. Our BAcc co-op program will prepare you to obtain a public accounting license. Our co-op students work in a wide variety of locations throughout Ontario and may acquire 16 to 20 months of practical work experience towards the CPA designation.

To provide our students with the skills they need to meet changing industry demands, we are continuously looking to align our programs to industry needs. Recent changes to our BAcc program prepare our students to meet the challenge of disruptive technology.

Goodman provides one of the fastest tracks to the CPA designation. When you take our Bachelor of Accounting (BAcc) and Master of Accountancy (MAcc) programs, you’ll learn everything you need to successfully complete the Common Final Exam (CFE).

If you complete the BAcc program, you have two options:

• Option 1: Apply to the Goodman MAcc program, which would only take seven months to complete and covers material from the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP) up to the Common Final Exam (CFE).
• Option 2: Enter the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP) with advanced standing. The CPA PEP is only offered on a part-time basis and may take up to two years to complete.
