Ontario Tech University

Oshawa , Ontario ,Canada

Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in Accounting

If you're interested in applying to the Accounting (Co-op) major, apply via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) code DCG. 

If you're interested in applying to the Accounting major without co-op or are a student with previous post-secondary studies, apply via OUAC code DBG. Note: Students with previous post-secondary studies can only opt into a co-op program after the completion of a transfer-credit assessment.

Our Commerce program's Accounting major provides excellent preparation for an exciting career as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA). Our program is accredited by CPA Ontario and if you complete all required courses, you will be eligible to enter the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP). You will acquire up-to-date knowledge and develop the professional judgment and critical thinking skills that are essential for today’s—and tomorrow’s—professional accountants.

Accounting graduates who are eligible for CPA PEP can apply to our Graduate Diploma in Accounting, which allows you to complete the first four modules of the PEP during the summer following graduation.
