Program details

Overview

This diploma responds to rising demand for data scientists and analysts, offering specialized training in the field and addressing a provincial and national shortfall in skilled labour within applied data science. It welcomes both domestic and international students who already hold an undergraduate degree, letting them upgrade their education and grow the skill sets needed to build a career across either the private sector or the public one.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: This Post-Baccalaureate Diploma admits graduates of an acceptable three- or four-year undergraduate degree in any discipline, calculated on a minimum B average, specifically a GPA of at least 3.00 on TRU's 4.33 scale taken over the final 60 credits of that degree. Applicants whose undergraduate study was not completed at an English-language university in an English-primary country must additionally show English proficiency: IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 20, TOEFL paper-based 570 with a TWE of 4.5 or higher, or completion of TRU's ENGL 1100 and CMNS 1290 with a minimum grade of B. Official transcripts from every prior post-secondary institution must be sent directly to Thompson Rivers University. No portfolio, interview, work-experience, or age condition is stated on the program page.

Application Details

Start Date: September (Fall) intake only, as listed on TRU's program page.
Application Deadline: No separate date is published for this program, so TRU's general undergraduate deadlines apply. Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents): 1 May for the September (Fall) intake. International applicants are given the same date for the September intake on TRU's separate international deadline page: 1 May. Applications for most programs open 1 October. A deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day, and TRU keeps accepting applications after the date where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early.
