Bachelor of Arts - Accounting - General

The Bachelor of Arts - Accounting - General at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie campus is a three-year bachelor's degree that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will master the language of business — financial and managerial accounting, auditing, taxation, finance and business law — with applied, practical learning aligned to professional standards. The program builds strong numeracy, analytical and ethical decision-making skills. Graduates pursue careers as accountants, auditors, tax and financial analysts, and in corporate finance, with clear pathways toward professional designations such as CPA and graduate study.

Delivered at Algoma University's welcoming Sault Ste. Marie campus with small classes and personal support, and — as a degree from a public Canadian university — it keeps graduates eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit without the field-of-study restrictions that apply to college programs.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Accountant, Financial / Management Accountant and Auditor, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.

With small class sizes, supportive faculty and one of Canada's most generous scholarship programs, international students at Algoma get personal attention, hands-on learning and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
