Accounting

The Accounting Stream

Nipissing University’s accounting stream prepares our students for more than just designations!

The first impression that some students have about accounting is that it is not fun.  But accounting isn’t all about numbers.  The accounting stream at Nipissing will help you develop your writing, thinking, creative and verbal skills to make you successful in today’s marketplace.  Our graduates have gone on to work with the government in their innovation area. They have climbed large oil tanks to verify oil quantities and swam with dolphins in the Caribbean!

Accounting remains a very appealing market both in the financial and management area.

Students go on to pursue their CA, CMA and CGA or obtain management positions in industry after graduation. Others enter our Faculty of Education and become teachers in high school and some even teach overseas after graduation. 

The accounting faculty has a wide range of research interests and as an undergraduate student, you can work with them. Faculty are conducting research on Internet Reporting and Human Resource issues in accounting.  We enjoy working with our students and maintaining contact with them after graduation.

 

Our Professional Experience Benefits You

Nipissing’s accounting faculty are Chartered Accountants (CA) and Certified Management Accountants (CMA). They bring real life experiences to the classroom to help you. We are one of only a few Universities in Ontario that offer programs to assist in preparing for the CA and CMA professional examinations.

A Suggested Program of Study

Nipissing University’s Business Program is all about choices but we understand that it helps to see what a typical degree will look like. The accounting faculty stress critical thinking and writing. We do case analysis, group work and presentations. All of these methods will help prepare you for the world after graduation. We have small classes, enabling us to do simulations that help you to understand the concepts in class. Have you ever wondered if there really were two scoops of raisins in Raisin Bran?
