Hi im in the commerce program and was wondering if there was a specific CA we would need to major in accounting? Like for example i know at ryerson you need atleast 70% in financial accounting to major in accounting.

You don't "major in accounting" at McMaster. You get a BComm, and that's it. If you want to pursue a designation, look at the website for the institute which manages that designation.

CA - www.guidetorulingthew orld.ca
To get your CA designation, you will need to be 2 courses ahead going into 4th year, and then you will have to take 3 advanced accounting electives in the summer after 4th year.

CMA - www.cma-ontario.org
The CMA does not require the 3 advanced electives in your last summer. I believe it also doesn't require 4AF3 - Accounting Theory

CGA - www.cga-ontario.org
I haven't really looked at these requirements. Happy reading!

You don't have an option to any majors in the commerce program. However, you can have an area of concentration in one of the subjects. I actually found this website that shows the courses that you need. Hope this helps.
