Requirements

Minimum GPA: 2.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Entry to the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Liberal Arts requires completion of a recognized bachelor's degree in any field of study, with a grade point average of 2.00 or higher on that degree. Applicants must complete a minimum of six TRU credits (distance or on-campus) toward the certificate, and must maintain a GPA of 2.00 or higher across all courses required for the credential once enrolled. The page states no language-test requirement and, since this is a post-baccalaureate credential rather than the direct-entry undergraduate tier, Thompson Rivers University's general direct-entry English scores do not apply here; applicants should confirm the current international English standard for this credential level with TRU admissions. No portfolio, interview, work-experience condition or intake date is stated on the page.

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.
