Posted on November 5, 2009 by bob

Reading a CMA student blog recently, I saw the following question (or some derivative) posted several times.  As this is obviously of some concern to our students I asked one of the CMA Programs Coordinators, Peter Ferguson, to write a response. QUESTION:  I am thinking about taking the CMA Accelerated Program in January 2010.  I have no practical accounting experience [...]

Registering for the CMA BC Strategic Leadership Program

Posted on November 2, 2009 by bob

We are often asked the question:  How do I register for the CMA Strategic Leadership Program (SLP)?  Since the SLP is the most critical element in shaping a CMA and distinguishing the CMA designation from the other accounting designations, we thought it would be a good idea to shed some light on the program and registration.  The SLP is a two-year [...]

CMA / MBA Programs – Part 2

Posted on September 24, 2009 by bob

As mentioned in my previous blog on the CMA/MBA Programs, there seems to be some confusion as to how these programs are structured.  Understandable.  I’d outlined how the CMA/MBA Joint Programs work, and now I’ll outline the CMA/MBA Combined Program.  First though, as a refresher, here are the current universities that CMA British Columbia partners with on the CMA/MBA programs: [...]

How do the CMA / MBA Programs Work? – Part 1
