U of L CA Bridging Program Funding

Thanks to the generosity of two distinguished donors to the CA Education Foundation, financial assistance is available to eligible Bridging Program students. Financial assistance for students and for program implementation was also provided through a generous grant from the Government of Alberta's Community Spirit Program. The CA Bridging Program is for degree-holders who are new Canadians or career changers and who need the pre-requisite courses for entrance into the CA School of Business. The Bridging Program allows students to obtain only the courses they need. Courses are offered in the evenings and weekends at the University of Lethbridge Edmonton campus (the U of L Calgary campus will begin offering the Bridging Program in May 2011).
