Bachelor of Business Administration
options and concentrations
Students in the third and fourth years of the program may choose to specialize in a functional area of business by taking a selection of prescribed courses as their upper-level electives. Concentrations generally require four courses in the area of specialization while options generally require double this amount.
Accounting option
Accounting identifies, measures and communicates economic information to external groups such as investors, and to internal groups, such as managers. Even though many students in this option become accountants, UFV’s Accounting option is flexible because of its easily transferable skills. Our accounting graduates have selected careers in areas such as banking, insurance, and consulting. The Accounting option provides the necessary prerequisites or required courses for the professional designations of Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), or Certified General Accountant (CGA).
