Description

The Accounting Studies Post-Degree Diploma program is for students who hold a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than commerce or business administration and want to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to kick start a career in accounting.

Graduates gain the skills to secure junior- to intermediate-level accounting positions in fields including financial accounting, cost accounting and financial management. Students interested in pursuing further education can transfer seamlessly into Douglas College’s Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting program, opening up doors to more senior employment opportunities.

The Post-Degree Diploma in Accounting Studies partially satisfies the entrance requirements of the Chartered Professional Accountant’s (CPA) Professional Education Program (PEP).

Students whose degree is in commerce or business administration should apply for entrance into the Post-Degree Diploma in Accounting program.

Customized Two-Year Post-Degree Programs: If students want to complete two years of study and diversify their learning and experience, Douglas College offers post-degree programs consisting of two, one-year post-degree diplomas. Students apply for both programs at the same time. Students graduate with two credentials and a solid combination of experience and skills. Completion of two different one-year Post-Degree Diploma programs will also allow graduates to apply for a three-year Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP).
