Business — Accounting
Program Intro

What ethical principles of business are driven by faith in Christ?

How can businesses manage finances and other resources in a way that honours Christ? Today’s top-performing businesses require accountants to effectively and honestly measure profit, asset accumulation and good financial ratios. Redeemer’s Business - Accounting program equips students to consider how financial sustainability can help businesses go even further in providing excellent products and services, showing integrity in the management of people and resources, and valuing environmental sustainability and stewardship, among other possibilities.

Business - Accounting is a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. It is offered as an honours major and as a major. Courses taken at Redeemer are recognized towards the requirements for the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.

Right from the start, the Redeemer School of Business equips you with strong analytical and decision-making skills, the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly, and a Biblically-based ethical framework.

Your first- and second-year courses introduce you to different areas of business as well as some of the introductory skills needed to read and interpret financial statements. You have the flexibility to design a program tailored to your specific interest in accounting while also getting a broad and balanced understanding of all business disciplines with practical, real-world experiences you will encounter later on in the program.

Business — Accounting The Core

The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you’re studying. Think about it this way…

  • Entrepreneurs who understand historical trends and are effective collaborators are more successful in their business ventures.
  • Managers are more capable leaders when they understand their responsibilities to customers, employees and their communities.
  • Accountants interpret data more effectively when they understand the people and processes behind it.
  • Marketers analyze target markets more strategically when they understand social and demographic trends.

In the Classroom

In your classes, you will build a solid foundation across the disciplines while also honing soft skills in courses like Human Resource Management, Not-for-Profit Management and the Strategic Management Seminar. Small classes taught by dedicated professors who are experts in their field mean you will conduct and critically assess research as you review the methods, concepts and findings of contemporary business practices.

Beyond the Classroom

In Redeemer’s business program, Prof. Susan Van Weelden, Prof. Laurie Busuttil and their colleagues are advancing the case method, an experiential learning approach for business students where students take on the role of managers in a variety of industries, organizations and scenarios. This case method provides a way for students to practice and gain confidence in their management skills.
