Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic entry follows Grade 12 completion or mature-student status, plus program-specific subjects: English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 with a minimum of 73% (or, in its place, TRU's ESAL 0570 and ESAL 0580, or ENGL 0600/0601), and Foundations of Mathematics 11, Pre-Calculus 11, or Foundations of Mathematics 12 with a minimum C; students entering with Pre-Calculus 12 or Foundations of Mathematics 12 at C+ or higher are exempt from MATH 1100. The program page publishes no standardized English test score of its own, so international applicants are held to Thompson Rivers University's general undergraduate-degree threshold: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20. Applicants short of a requirement may qualify for the Flexible Entry pathway. Intakes run 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.
