Program details

Overview

The Commerce Post-Baccalaureate Certificate allows students with a recognized degree in business or commerce to choose from five concentrations in accounting, finance, human resources, leadership and marketing.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Thompson Rivers University's Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Commerce requires a recognised baccalaureate degree in business. The program page does not publish an entry GPA or standardized English-test score; instead, once enrolled, students must maintain a GPA of 2.33 (grade C+) or higher in each course, complete 15 credits of business study (none of which may be carried over from the prior credential) across one of several concentration options, Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Leadership, or Marketing, and meet a residency requirement of at least six TRU credits (distance or on-campus). No portfolio, interview, work-experience, or age condition is published on the page. As an Open Learning credential, admission is not gated by TRU's on-campus secondary-graduation bases or its IELTS/TOEFL direct-entry minimums.

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.
