University Programs Accredited by CMA Canada
Students can qualify to write the CMA Entrance Exam upon graduation from bachelor degree programs in business through the majority of Ontario universities and several colleges. Select university programs have been accredited by CMA Canada.
The Accreditation Process has been designed to recognize those universities that achieve high standards of instruction in management accounting. Consequently, graduates from any of the Accredited University Programs will be exempt from writing the CMA Entrance Examination. To qualify for the exam exemption through these select university programs, a student must complete each of the CMA required courses with a minimum of 60% and must graduate with an overall GPA of 75%. Graduates have 3 years from the date of graduation to qualify for this exemption.
