Admission & Fees

Applicants are required to have a four-year undergraduate degree, with 65% average in the last two years of study.

Applicants from Canadian and American universities in the process of completing the remaining one to five courses of their undergraduate degree are welcome to apply and may be granted conditional acceptance.

As degrees differ widely between countries, a bachelor’s degree and a 1 – 2 year master’s degree may be required to qualify for admission into UBC DAP. Please refer to the Years of Study requirement under each country’s profile for UBC Master’s program eligibility on the UBC Faculty of Graduate Studies website, as UBC DAP follows these guidelines for the required years of post-secondary study for admission eligibility.

An English language proficiency exam, either TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign language) or IELTS Academic, is required for all candidates whose degrees are from a university outside of Canada or the USA in which English was not the official language of instruction.

Only tests written within 24 months prior to submission of an application are accepted. Official test results must be sent directly from the testing centre to the Diploma in Accounting office.

Students interested in pursuing the UBC DAP credential are required to complete all 11 core-courses in the program. However, in circumstances where an individual has completed a course of equivalent content and rigour to one of the 5 Foundation Courses, exemptions may be granted.

Courses completed outside of Canada and the USA are not eligible for exemptions. 

A non-refundable application fee of $115 will be required at time of application.

Tuition fees are assessed on a per-course basis and paid at the time of registration. Currently, tuition fees are $750 per course (subject to change). Textbook and course material costs are approximately $150 per course and are not included in the tuition fee.
