Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Business Administration (General) is designed for students who do not wish to specialize in a specific area of business but instead would like to take a wider array of courses to provide a wide range in their management education. Develop a solid foundation in the first two years, then specialize in one or a combination of majors and minors. Take advantage of co-op, undergraduate research, study abroad and other experiential learning opportunities. Double degree option with Computing Science and Arts available. See Program options for the different majors available.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Business Administration (General) requires Grade 12 (or equivalent) or mature-student status, Foundations of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 at a minimum C+, and English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 73%, with ESAL 0570 and ESAL 0580, or ENGL 0600/0601, accepted as English-course equivalents. Applicants short of these prerequisites may still apply through TRU's Flexible Entry pathway, which admits eligible students and lets them clear missing requirements within their first 24 to 30 credits while taking program courses. The page states no GPA figure or standardized test score of its own; international applicants otherwise meet English through TRU's published direct-entry minimums of IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20). No portfolio, interview, or work-experience condition is published on the page.

Application Details

Start Date: Intakes: September (Fall) and January (Winter), as listed on TRU's program page.
Application Deadline: No separate date is published for this program, so TRU's general undergraduate deadlines apply. Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents): 1 May for the September (Fall) intake; 1 September for the January (Winter) intake. International applicants work to a separate published set, which differs for the winter and summer intakes: 1 May for September; 1 October for January. Applications for most programs open 1 October. A deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day, and TRU keeps accepting applications after the date where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early.
