About This Course

Accounting is the art of measuring, communicating and interpreting financial activity, and is sometimes referred to as “the language of business.” The Accounting major is designed to provide you with the general, business, and accounting knowledge necessary for you to succeed as a professional accountant. Since accounting is a dynamic field, you will learn how to keep your knowledge up-to-date so you can continue to grow throughout your professional careers.

Upon completion of the first year, many St. Peter’s College students move to the U of S main campus to continue their studies. In some instances, students can complete the second year of studies with St. Peter’s College. St. Peter’s students must meet the same promotion standards as U of S students in order to move into the second year of study. Please contact Student Services for more information on promotion standards. Further information on this program can be found directly on the University of Saskatchewan’s website.

What you will Learn

You will acquire the communication, computer, and interpersonal skills necessary to successfully resolve complex problems in unstructured settings. You will also benefit from participation in activities such as the Volunteer Tax Program where fourth year accounting students volunteer their time to prepare tax returns for seniors and people with disabilities.
