Biotechnology/Chartered Professional Accountancy program outline: Fall 2021 entry

There is an increasing involvement of business in the application of science and technology that is encouraged by a wide range of government incentives. As a result, there is a demand for professional accountants, who work in the public practice industry and government, and understand the specialized needs for services in these areas.

The Faculty of Science, in co-operation with the School of Accounting and Finance, offers the Honours Biotechnology/Chartered Professional Accountancy plan. It combines courses in biotechnology, accounting and business-related areas of study, to provide a unique opportunity to prepare professional accountants with an integrated educational experience for a role in providing accounting and advisory services in the rapidly growing science and technology business sector of the economy.

Students considering a Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) designation should be aware of all CPA requirements.

Students are admitted directly into the plan from high school but must successfully complete a provisional first year to proceed into the second year.

Continuing in Honours Co-operative Biotechnology, Chartered Professional Accountancy requires a minimum cumulative Science average of 65%, a minimum cumulative Accounting average of 70%, and a minimum cumulative overall average of 70%.
