The Assurance program focuses on the business aspect of IT and prospective candidates are expected to have a background in both technology and accounting/finance.

Applications are encouraged from those individuals who possess an undergraduate baccalaureate degree. A four-year degree in business is preferred but a computing science degree is also accepted. All other degrees are given consideration since there may be industry certifications or work experience which might assist the application process. Space is limited and admission is competitive. Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. To be considered for admission, applications must present the following requirements: Four-year Bachelor’s degree from a recognized educational institution, preferably in Business/Management, Management of Information Systems or Computing Science. Students entering the program require a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on the 4 point scale, or its equivalent during the last 60 credits of undergraduate (or graduate) study. Students with a three-year degree, for example, Concordia University of Edmonton’s three-year BSc, may be admissible but may be required to take qualifying courses. A resume. A 3.0 GPA on at least two courses in financial accounting (one introductory and one intermediate) and one course in management accounting. A security clearance. Demonstrated fulfillment of Concordia University of Edmonton’s English Language Requirement (refer to section 13.1.1 D).
