FACC 6850 Course Introduction
Students enrolled in the FACC 6850 Practicum Course, will be preparing professional reports regarding their job, role, responsibilities including things that they learned throughout their co-op. Students demonstrate through reports and presentations how they have been able to apply what they have learnt from their courses into their work environment and challenges. The course allows students to learn more about different organizations including their structure, culture and work responsibilities.
FACC 6850 (Financial Accountability Practicum) provides students an opportunity to work in a financial accountability related position. The placement allows students to observe professionals at work and will give them the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to live situations or projects.
The pre-requisite is FACC 6000 (Introduction to Accountability & Governance), and the pre/co-requisite is FACC 6100 (Corporate Responsibility & Ethics). Students are welcome to contact miabstud@yorku.ca or Professor Paul Evans pevans@yorku.ca to be enrolled in the free FACC 6850 PROP/E-class Pre-course which guides you through the enrollment process. International students will then be issued an IRCC letter for them to apply as early as possible for a co-op permit. You can enrol in this free Pre-course even prior to taking any MFAc classes and can apply for your co-op permit at the same time as your study permit.
Students are responsible for finding their own internship placements. Assistance is provided by the York University Career Center, Pre-course and MIAB (MFAc Internship Advisory Board). More information can be found in the Career Center website, MIAB website, and the Pre-course.
FACC 6850 is a 6-credit course. There is no additional cost. The MFAc program contains 9 required courses and 2 elective courses. Students can pick this course to fulfill their 2-course elective requirement or take it in conjunction with other elective courses. Internships can start any-time after you have completed FACC 6000 and their length varies from ten weeks to more than one term.
