Your starting point

Compare York BCom admission requirements with your school qualifications and ask about transfer credit if you have studied elsewhere.

A pathway helps you explore. It does not decide eligibility or guarantee admission, funding, licensing or work. Each program has its own checked date.

Your first steps

Important distinctions

BCom is a degree with several career directions, not a single profession or an automatic CPA qualification.
Someone who already holds a foreign BCom should explore employment support or credential assessment before automatically repeating it. Aid depends on status, program and individual circumstances.
