Thompson Rivers University offers Information Technology and Management Diploma, a diploma in Information Systems & Technology programme in Kamloops, Canada. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 216 per credit for local students.
The diploma builds on the Certificate in Information Technology by adding fundamentals of management. Study begins with core knowledge in organizational behaviour, communications, accounting and management, before moving into a set of electives spanning both IT and business topics.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Certificate in Information Technology, or an IT or computing certificate carrying 30 or more transferable credits with at least 21 credits in IT or related courses, as set out on Thompson Rivers University's Open Learning diploma page. Applicants whose certificate carries fewer than 30 credits, or is missing key prerequisites, may be required by Open Learning to complete additional courses alongside the diploma requirements. The page does not publish a separate English-language proficiency test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL) for this pathway, since admission is built on a prior IT credential rather than secondary-school standing. Once admitted, students must complete a minimum of 9 TRU credits in residence (online or on campus) and maintain an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher across the courses required for the diploma; no portfolio, interview or work-experience condition is stated.
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.
