Admission requirements

Required
ENG4U

Brock’s own wording

  • ENG4U
  • Two 4U maths
  • See Ontario high school course codes.
  • Alternative Offers
  • You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest listed choice is considered first when you indicate more than 1 Brock program on your application. If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.

What this leads to

The picture for accounting as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Most graduates start as accounting clerks or junior accountants processing transactions, month-end closes, and account reconciliations. Those who pursue a CPA can advance to accounting manager, controller, or financial analyst roles.

In its favour

  • Job openings exist across all industries and company sizes, and accounting skills transfer easily between sectors
  • Consistent long-term demand—businesses need accurate financial records whether the economy grows or shrinks
  • Strong salary progression: employers prioritize pay increases for people with specialized skills and certifications

Worth knowing

  • Entry-level positions increasingly require 2–3 years of co-op or internship experience—a degree alone won't get you hired
  • Permanent hiring has slowed while contract and temporary roles are rising, meaning less job security early on
  • Routine data entry, invoice processing, and reconciliation work is being automated; you'll need to build skills in analysis and strategy to progress past junior roles
  • Many employers prefer or require a CPA designation for advancement, meaning 4+ more years of study and exams after your degree if you want senior positions

How AI is changing this work

AI is automating the clerical work that usually fills entry-level accounting jobs: data entry, bank reconciliations, invoice processing, and expense categorization. However, 85% of firms that adopt this automation redeploy their staff to financial analysis and strategic guidance—work AI cannot do alone. The risk is real if you graduate with only basic technical skills, but demand is strong for accountants who can interpret data, explain business problems, and guide decisions. Starting a degree in 2027 means you'll graduate into a field where the routine work is gone and employers expect you to move beyond it quickly.
