Universities for Accounting

[charliebrown]

[QUOTE=thelaw604]First things first, I don't know if I should be commenting in this thread since I'm from out west, but... too bad :P. Come to UBC! haha. Lots of learning here, I'm in second year BCom at UBC and taking the accounting route and going for a CA later on. What I didn't realize was that UW had a program just for accounting. So is it an arts degree?

hmm...not sure if it's still the case, but UW offers it's accounting degree via 3 streams: arts, science and math (current AFM students: pls correct me if i'm wrong)

so, even though there's a core focus on accounting (tax, financial accounting, mgmt acctg, etc), one still has to take electives depending on your degree stream (i.e. you're part of arts faculty if you're in arts accounting, math faculty, etc) -- so basically, there's nothing restricting you from having a broad univ experience, except for the time constraints

I think it'll be interesting to see the results from 2003 and on by school...ever since CICA changed marking system. Any recent writers or people preparing for the UFE want to comment?

I posted the link a few pages back to the individual school results for the UFE results

And you're right about the 3 streams of accounting...they still exist today.
