A cooperative education track is available for students majoring in computing science, combining academic study with paid work placements.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Computing Science is a Bachelor of Science major at Thompson Rivers University, admitted through the Faculty of Science's course-specific route on top of TRU's general undergraduate entry bases (recognised secondary graduation, 12 or more transferable post-secondary credits, or mature-student status). Domestic English is met with English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 73%, or equivalently ESAL 0570 with ESAL 0580, or ENGL 0600/0601; international applicants instead meet TRU's direct-entry minimums of IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 88 (no section below 20). The Bachelor of Science first-year science block requires Chemistry 11, Pre-calculus 12 at a minimum C+ completed within the past two years, and Physics 11 (or TRU's PHYS 1130). The program page advises students to become familiar with these prerequisites before applying and states no separate GPA figure, standardized test score beyond the above, portfolio, or interview condition.

Application Details

Start Date: Intakes: September (Fall), January (Winter) and May (Summer), 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; 1 January for the May (Summer) 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; 1 February for May. 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.
