本科是不是要读4年？好长。 college 的会计专业出来怎么样呢？读几年？

I have left U for way too many years, if my info. is outdated, please don't hesitate to correct me.

1.  本科是要读3年(90 credits) or 4年(120 credits), depend on the # of years u completed in High school or whatever.  U have an undergraduate degree?  If so, u may be able to apply for exemption = requires less credits to finish degree.  U would need to contact U admissions directly for further details.

2.  康大ACCT本科 vs. MCGILL的DIPLOMA
- program not same, job prospect SIMILAR.  关键看yourself.
(** no such things as 20k vs. Concordia better BS**)
- McGill Graduate Diploma require a undergraduate degree for admission.  Super "concentrated", be prepared to work your as*s off.

I have no further detail, consult department/admission directly.

I don't know enough to be anyone's career consellor.  Hope somebody else can help u here, or look for Career Consellor at some "school".

Word of warning:  Accounting may not be a good career, too easy and too simple.  U can easily ended up being a book-keeper, A/R or A/P for the rest of your life @ close to min. wage.  All depends on the individual, even for those who've relevant degrees.  Good luck!

我从来未比较过CONCORDIA ACCT BACHELOR和MCGILL DIPLOMA的收入，只是说有BACHELOR 入ACCT FIRM容易些。事实上，的确有人单凭DIPLOMA转行进ACCT FIRM（做RISK MGMT，不是ACCT-RELATED）的，但有其他相关EXPERIENCE。而且，ENTRY LEVEL PAYROLL的高低，并不是凭学历的。而且，我的意思是，不用花太多时间就可从事ACCT的工作。

I may have sounded a bit rough, hope u don't mind.  It is extremely nice of u to share info.!

It's true that there is a slight better chance to get job from Concordia BA.  Why -> tendency to be younger, employer wants younger+trainable+modable employees.  Diploma requires a BA for entry, generally older, possibly "rejects" as they couldn't get a job after their BA.  Make sense?

The Diploma in McGill is not a funny program, u work your as*s off.  I knew someone who got hired by Deloit in acct. in Toronto, after 1 or 2 years, went for a better paying job in US.  Few others I knew, fat/ugly & not too smart, not happy with their "existing" job, returned to school & tried to find better job.  Not sure if they managed to graduate but I would not be surprised if they only ended up as bookeepers, worked their bu*tt off at close to min. wage. <- these are OLD info.

Acct. is too simple and too boring for me, I've never worked in it.  Good luck to all!
