Program details

Overview

The diploma suits those who hold a degree outside business and want one or two years of further study to gain a specialty in business or economics, aimed at improving employment prospects, as well as business graduates wanting to shift focus. Grounding is built in the core body of economics, alongside sharpened ability to weigh costs against benefits, assess programs, and support decisions where pricing is involved, as well as analyzing the economics behind the regulatory process and how businesses respond to regulatory environments.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Economics requires a completed bachelor's degree, the equivalent of Grade 12 mathematics, and at least six university-level English credits prior to admission. Applicants who lack either of these prerequisites can still be admitted to the diploma, provided they complete equivalent courses approved by an academic advisor before or during their studies. The programme page does not itemise a standardised English-language test score such as IELTS or TOEFL, does not set a minimum grade-point average for admission, and states no portfolio, interview, work-experience or competitive-entry condition for this diploma; applicants are otherwise assessed on the stated bachelor's-degree and course prerequisites alone.

Application Details

Start Date: Intakes: September (Fall) and January (Winter), 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; 1 September for the January (Winter) intake. International applicants work to a separate published set, which differs for the winter and summer intakes: 1 May for September; 1 October for January. 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.
