Queen’s Graduate Diploma in Accounting

Expand your knowledge. Enhance your qualifications. Earn credits for your CA designation.

Queen’s Graduate Diploma in Accounting provides an excellent opportunity to deepen your understanding and significantly expand your knowledge of accounting, while preparing for your CA designation.

The program offers four advanced courses that are part of the Queen’s School of Business ICAO-approved accounting stream. The objective of the Graduate Diploma in Accounting is not only to offer courses that will complete the ICAO 51-credit hour requirement for CA candidates, but to offer a graduate program for those who have completed their undergraduate degrees. These four courses are one of the final steps leading to the Uniform Final Examination (UFE) for the CA designation – the most highly-prized and universally-recognized accounting designation. The program’s courses are instructed by some of Canada’s most accomplished accounting teachers and practitioners.
