Program details

Overview

The Finance Post-Baccalaureate Diploma is for students who have a non-business degree and want to return to university for one or two years to acquire a specialty in a functional area of business. Students with a first degree in business, but who want to change their area of focus, may complete a Post-baccalaureate diploma as well. Take coursework in macroeconomics and microeconomics, financial management, financial accounting, business statistics, portfolio and equity analysis, and more.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a completed bachelor's degree, per Thompson Rivers University's Open Learning page for the Finance Post-Baccalaureate Diploma. Applicants are expected to have taken Foundations of Mathematics 12 or Pre-Calculus 12 (or the equivalent) and to hold at least six credits of university-level English; those missing the math background may still apply but must complete equivalent courses as approved by a program advisor. For English, the page requires applicants without six university English or Communications credits from an English-language institution to submit a current TOEFL or IELTS score (valid within two years) or another acceptable English placement result, or to sit TRU's own English Placement Test on arrival; no minimum numeric score is published on this page. The diploma is open to international applicants, with intakes each September and January.

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.
