College of the Rockies

What you'll study

Coursework combines general liberal arts and science subjects with business-specific classes and sustainability content. The program culminates in an upper-level capstone project centred on sustainability. Students may choose electives to focus their degree and qualifying courses from other institutions can be applied to some upper-level requirements. Completing the College of the Rockies Accounting diploma plus this BBA makes graduates eligible to enter the Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) Professional Education Program (PEP).
