BBA students pursuing an accounting designation
Several professional accounting organizations award certificates in accounting to students who fulfill the required terms of service in the profession and who pass the required examinations. Most organizations also provide courses of study to enable students to prepare for the examinations. Candidates who are considering entering the accounting profession are invited to discuss the matter with members of UNB Fredericton's Faculty of Business Administration.

Calendars and other information from the accounting organizations are available. Students with a BBA degree from the Faculty of Business Administration will normally be exempt from part of the course of study, and some of the examinations prescribed by the organizations. Since education is a provincial responsibility, the requirements for accounting certificates and the exemption policies often differ somewhat among the provinces. A student therefore should consult the provincial organization in the province in which he or she plans to pursue studies. For New Brunswick, a student should write to:
