Program details
Overview
The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Mathematics and Economics will be of interest to 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. Complete coursework in microeconomics and macroeconomics, econometrics, calculus, discrete math, economics and business statistics, and more.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree, per Thompson Rivers University's Open Learning page for the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Mathematics and Economics. Applicants should have completed the equivalent of Grade 12 mathematics and at least six credits of university-level English prior to admission; those missing either prerequisite can still be admitted but must complete equivalent courses as approved by an academic advisor. The page does not specify a minimum GPA or a standardized English-language proficiency test score (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL) — unlike TRU's related business post-baccalaureate diplomas, no TOEFL or IELTS placement-test clause is stated here. No portfolio, interview, work-experience or age condition is listed. The diploma admits 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.
