The Nova Scotia Business Journal

Beginning with the December 2007 issue of the Nova Scotia Business Journal, we began our monthly coverage of top Nova Scotian companies and business personalities. The main idea behind our Top lists is to celebrate those businesses and leaders who work just under the radar to make big things happen in this province. By putting the spotlight on these companies, the Nova Scotia Business Journal will be strengthening its active part in the provinces business culture. This month, we look at the most innovative and useful post-secondary business courses in the province. Scott Higgins

What does Saint Francis Xavier University see as the strength of its Accounting Program?
St. FX prides itself on the strength of its accounting program, which runs as a Co-Op program providing industry experience. 

Why is it one of Nova Scotias Top 10 Business courses?
Many of the faculty maintain active professional affiliations with CMA, CGA and CA organizations. Chair Leo Gallant is a Vice President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nova Scotia. These affiliations help to provide our students with access to the professions, says Gallant.
