Elective Areas

UCW follows professional trends in industry closely and develops elective areas that reflect the best professional standards in specific fields. Currently, we offer the following elective area in the BCom degree:

Accounting

Accounting skills are consistently in demand. The accounting elective area, in combination with the rest of the BCom degree, will prepare students for entry into a professional accounting program.

Course Coverage for CPA Programs

Thanks to an articulation agreement between UCW and the Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) of British Columbia, students can transfer credit courses for direct entry into the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP). This means students' careers are accelerated by taking the required CPA PEP prerequisite courses while getting their degree, instead of waiting until after they have their Bachelor of Commerce.
