Hey, I'm going to be entering McMaster commerce next year and I seek to become an accountant. I just have one question about year two, are we able to take both Managerial and Financial accounting in the second year, or only one of the two?

Hi,

The prerequisite for Managerial Accounting is Financial Accounting so you can't take both in the same term.

Also, there are changes to the Commerce program this year. You will have to take Financial Accounting (COMMERCE 1AA3) in first year. Here are the new first-year requirements: http://ug.degroote.mcmaster. ca/reg...s-for-level-1/

Ouhhh, so I'll do Financial accounting in year 1 and Managerial in year 2?

That's right.

agreed with what Brendan said. you guys are lucky that you get to take accounting first year now, so you wont have as big of a course load fourth year if you choose to pursue accounting!

all the best!

Thanks a-lot guys.
