Requirements

Admission Requirements: The program page states open admission, with no course, grade or average prerequisites of its own. Open admission at Thompson Rivers University still runs through the university's general entry gate: applicants must qualify by graduating from a recognised high-school curriculum (any Canadian province or territory's legislated curriculum is accepted, Quebec applicants also needing one year of CEGEP), by International Baccalaureate diploma, by 12 or more transferable post-secondary credits, or, for applicants 19 or older with no recent formal education, as a mature student; international applicants must in addition have completed secondary school and be at least 17. As an Open Learning distance program, this page publishes no standardized English test score of its own, and none is stated for this specific offering. A minimum of 15 TRU credits must be completed at the university toward the degree.

Application Details

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.
