Requirements
Admission Requirements: Thompson Rivers University's Accounting Post-Baccalaureate Diploma requires a completed bachelor's degree for entry. The program page expects, without strictly requiring, prior completion of Foundations of Mathematics 12 or Pre-calculus 12 (or equivalent); applicants lacking this background may still be admitted but must complete equivalent coursework approved by an advisor. English proficiency is met by at least six credits of university-level English; applicants without that credit, whose degree was not completed at an English-language university in an English-speaking country, must submit a current (within two years) TOEFL, IELTS, or other acceptable English placement-test result, or sit TRU's own English Placement Test on arrival, though the page does not publish specific minimum scores for these tests. No minimum GPA, portfolio, interview, work-experience, or age condition is stated on the program page.
