As we’ve previously announced, our Finance curriculum will be redesigned, with BUSI 370 – Finance and BUSI 470 – Financial Management being merged into a single course, BUSI 370 starting this September 2018. 

We are pleased to advise that our re-designed BUSI 370 course has now been approved by CPA to meet their Finance pre-requisite on its own and the transfer guide for UBC DAP linked on CPA Professional Education Program – Transfer Credit Guide has been updated accordingly.

As we transition to our new Finance curriculum, BUSI 470 will be offered for a final time in Winter Term 1.  If you are planning to continue on to the CPA program and have completed BUSI 370 or have been granted an exemption from BUSI 370 as of the end of this Summer Term 2 (August 2018), but have not completed BUSI 470, it strongly recommended that you complete BUSI 470 this upcoming Winter Term 1.

As we’ve announced earlier, we’re launching BUSI 295 – Managerial Economics, a new economics course which will cover topics in both microeconomics and macroeconomics starting this September 2018.

We are pleased to advise that this course has now been approved by CPA to meet their Economics pre-requisite and the transfer guide for UBC DAP linked on CPA Professional Education Program – Transfer Credit Guide has been updated accordingly.

BUSI 295 will be offered online, with supplementary optional review sessions, in both Winter Term 1 and 2. The Winter Term 1 section will be offered initially as a pilot with limited seats available, so if you are interested in taking this course in Winter Term 1, you are encouraged to register early.

The Summer Term 2 final exam schedule is now available on the UBC Exam Schedule page, along with your personal exam schedule on SSC.
