Something
that
surprised
me
about
the
requirements
for
the
Accounting
and
Financial
Management
(AFM)
program
was
that
you
do
not
need
any
previous
knowledge
of
accounting
or
finance.
The
requirements
to
get
into
AFM
are
a
minimum
of
75%
in
grade
12
U
level
English,
advanced
functions,
and
calculus
and
vectors.
I
learned
that
the
academic
requirements
would
prepare
me
with
the
knowledge
required
in
AFM
courses;
however,
I
am
still
concerned
that
I
do
not
have
the
opportunity
to
take
accounting
and
finance
related
courses
in
high
school.
My
worries
were
put
at
ease
when
I
learned
that
all
professors
assume
their
first-year
students
do
not
have
any
or
very
little
knowledge
of
accounting
and
finance
because
not
all
schools offer
accounting
courses.
Now
that
I
know
the
requirements
to
get
into
the
AFM
program,
I
can
take
the
prerequisite
courses
in
grade
11
and
12.
I
was
looking
at
taking
accounting
in
grade
11
and
12
so
that
I
would
have
the
experience
and
will
be
more
prepared
in
my
first-year.
Sadly,
there
aren’t
any
finance
courses
offered
at
my
high
school
so
I
can’t
take
any
to
further
prepare
myself
for
the
program,
but
I
can
certainly
learn
more
on
my
own.
If
you’re
in
high
school
and
starting
to
look
into
university,
be
sure
to
check
out
the
requirements
for
any
and
all
programs
you
are
interested
in,
not
just
AFM
and
select
appropriate
classes
to
prepare
yourself.
