This three-year program gives you everything you’d get from our two-year Accounting diploma program—and more. Besides providing students with an understanding in accounting procedures and theory, starting in year two the program offers an innovative co-op option to students with a strong academic performance to help them deepen their understanding. As an accountant your day will require critical and detail-oriented thinking to manage problems and develop practical solutions.
The two-year and three-year Accounting programs have a common first year but students who plan to immediately do a degree or seek professional designation such as with Certified General Accountants (CGA) should choose the three-year program. The CGA of Ontario requires graduates of Humber's three-year program to enrol in additional CGA-specific courses as part of their membership requirements. CGA may change their requirements at any time. Applicants and students should review the CGA requirements and standards carefully to ensure a full understanding of them. Students with similar long-term career goals but who intend to find a job immediately may want to do the two-year diploma program and continue their studies at a later date.
You will sharpen critical and detail-oriented thinking so you can manage problems and develop practical solutions. You'll apply this knowledge through an 84-hour work term. Practical assignments include:
