Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Natural Resource Science allows you to gain a broad and in-depth understanding of natural resources, including not only biology, ecology and scientific method, but sector-specific resource management for forestry, fisheries, range and recreation. The program provides hands-on learning in the field and opportunities for undergraduate research and study abroad.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry to the Bachelor of Natural Resource Science requires English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 with a minimum of 73%, or equivalent completion of ESAL 0570 together with ESAL 0580, or ENGL 0600, or ENGL 0601, plus Pre-calculus 12, Life Sciences 11, and Chemistry 11 each at a minimum of 67% (C+), or their equivalents. Applicants who also hold Anatomy and Physiology 12 and Chemistry 12, or their equivalents, receive admission preference. No standardized international English test score, minimum GPA, portfolio, interview or work-experience condition is stated. Applicants short of the stated prerequisites may qualify for Thompson Rivers University's Flexible Entry pathway, completing missing courses while taking university-level programme courses. The programme admits in September, January and May.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January, and May
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
