Accounting and Finance

Program Overview

The Master of Accounting and Finance Program (MAccFin) is North America’s first graduate degree that integrates both accounting and finance business disciplines. Offered at the Scarborough campus (UTSC), MAccFin delivers a world-class, practical educational experience that prepares students for the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) designations, and provides additional real-world co-op experience.

The 16-month, full-time program is accredited by the CPA Ontario and the curriculum is based on the Candidate Body of Knowledge from the Chartered Financial Analyst® Program administered by the CFA® Institute. By completing the MAccFin, students will qualify for advanced standing in the Chartered Professional Accountant Professional Education Program (CPA PEP). Furthermore, accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) as well, MAccFin graduates will have direct entry to ACCA’s final Strategic Professional level exams upon completion of our program. All MAccFin students now have 9 foundational course exemptions in the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills levels when pursuing their ACCA qualification. Obtaining any of these in-demand, globally recognized and respected designations requires a commitment to higher standards of integrity and credibility, which can be essential to desirable employment.

The co-op component builds on 40 years of experience and leadership in co-operative education at UTSC. During the program, students will have access to UTSC’s diverse portfolio of Canada’s most prestigious employers to complete a four-month co-op internship.
