The IMAcc approach
Your success as an IMAcc grad is due to our focus on a strong integrative approach to accounting and a curriculum that smoothly transitions you from
international accounting to North American concepts. The adaptation process begins the moment you arrive on campus. Through our Business English Program we make sure that you get a four-week customized course in business reading, writing, listening and speaking. But we also ensure that you adapt socially. In between classes, we’ve scheduled a full four weeks of activities and trips. You’ll visit Niagara Falls and Toronto, explore St. Catharines and settle into your new life. You’ll know your classmates, the Niagara region and feel comfortable and ready to begin your coursework.
But the real key to our graduates’ success is our unique and intensive transition term. This is your foundation term, designed to ensure that you are ready for graduate accounting coursework. In addition to traditional accounting, we’ll cover marketing, organizational behavior, finance and business law, all in the context of North American business practices.
This integrative and
comprehensive approach to accounting lets you explore your interests and achieve your career goals.
IMAcc curriculum
We build on your previous international accounting education with an IMAcc curriculum that is specially designed to give you an integrative approach to North American accounting principles. The cohort program includes an intensive English Language study program, a transition term and two academic terms. Each semester builds upon your new skills and knowledge.
The IMAcc curriculum will provide you with a broad background in accounting with an emphasis on managerial accounting and information systems.
