About us:

The University of Toronto Scarborough is a place of energy, enthusiasm and passion. Our commitment to inclusive excellence attracts the brightest learners, scholars and employees from around the globe.

The Master of Accounting of and Finance (MAccFIn) is the only program of its kind in North America. The program prepares students to pursue professional credentials (CPA, CFA, ACCA) and offers advanced standing toward two of these.

The program incorporates mandatory co-op employment with the study of both accounting and finance to prepare students to navigate the intersections of accounting and finance throughout their career.

The Combined Degree Program (CDP) permits students in the BBA Accounting Specialization in the Department of Management at UTSC the opportunity to gain early acceptance into the MAccFin program in year two of their undergraduate studies.

The MAccFin also welcomes exceptional students from undergraduate accounting degree programs across Canada. Students typically pursue MAccFin immediately upon completion of their undergraduate degree.
