The Master of Professional Accounting Program (M.PAcc.) is an innovative graduate degree program that attracts top-notch accounting students from across Canada and internationally. 

Created by visionary academics in response to the demand for applied, competency-based training, the program actively involves students through the use of business cases, skills workshops, and other contemporary educational techniques.

Over the course of two summer terms, students will complete a comprehensive graduate level accounting program that acts as a proven alternative route for students who are seeking the CPA designation in Canada. 

We are proud to have a strong history of first time pass rates from our MPAcc graduates on the Common Final Evaluation (CFE). The program also gives students an opportunity to develop an appreciation for the academic research process and academe as a career choice.
