Program Overview

Our accounting program is designed to produce students specializing in accounting that also have broad exposure to valuable critical thinking, team work, leadership, and oral and written communication skills. Students from our program graduate with the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to become effective contributors to a variety of organizations. We are successful because our program combines the acquisition of conceptual knowledge with applied and experiential learning approaches that include projects, presentations, simulations, field trips, class discussions, case analyses, lectures, readings, films, guest speakers, service learning and much more.


Why a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting Studies at StFX?
The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting Studies will provide students who have graduated from an undergraduate degree in a field other than accounting with the necessary academic background for direct entry into the Professional Education Program (PEP) for Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs). Specifically, the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting Studies is a 48-credit, two-year program that not only provides students with the technical competencies relevant to the accounting field, but also provides students with the enabling competencies to allow them to be successful in professional practice (e.g., communication, teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making skills).
