General Information The completed forms, together with necessary official transcripts of grades and any other required documents, should be returned to TRU Admissions at the above address. Admission, Registration and Fees The Admissions Process: Application Deadline Information Admission to TRU begins with your Application for Admission, which is handled by the Admissions Office. When to Apply Applications are accepted starting October 1 each year, for programs starting in August or September the following year. Apply to TRU on-line (http://www.tru.ca/apply). Admission and registration to a TRU program is a 3-step process: Step 1) Application for Admission You apply for admission to your program of choice and supply the required documentation necessary for admission. For programs with deadline dates, all required documentation must be received by the TRU Admissions Office by the deadline date in order for your application to be considered complete. Step 2) Deadlines to Apply - for Fall 2013 1. First Year University Arts, Science, and Business: Early Application Deadline: March 1, 2013. Best course selection with highest priority for early July course registrations. Registration (Enrolment in Courses) – if required Once you are admitted, you enrol in the courses you want to take, in accordance with the instructions contained in the “Registration Notice” sent to students in June. In some programs, students are pre-enrolled into the appropriate courses for their program of study. Step 3) Regular Deadline: April 30, 2013. Registration for courses will be available in July. Payment of Fees Late Application Deadline: Applications will be accepted until Wednesday, September 3, 2013, but students will only be admitted and allowed to register in courses as space permits. Registration is not complete until your full fees are received by TRU. 2. Transfers to TRU Degrees: Applications for Admission (Step 1) Students from any other college or university can apply to transfer to TRU anytime after October 1 for the next academic year – applications will be accepted until the program is full. You can apply for Admission to TRU three (3) different ways: 1. Apply on-line through our website (http://www.tru.ca/apply). • Your application will be acknowledged, and you will receive further information on other requirements in the admissions process. 3. Dual Admission opportunities: TRU has dual admission agreement with some colleges that allow students to be admitted to the college and TRU, at the same time. Dual admission is for university transfer students in Arts (B.A.), Science (B.Sc.) or Business (B.B.A.) at specific colleges. For details on colleges and degrees where Dual Admissions options are available see the TRU Admission webpage (http://www.tru.ca/apply). Note: If you do not submit the $26.00 application fee electronically with your on-line application, you must send it to TRU Admissions – your application is not processed until this fee has been received. OR 2. Complete the ‘Application for Admission’ form in the TRU Program Guide, available at high schools, college and university career/advising centres, and send it to TRU Admissions, along with the $26.00 application fee, or print the Application for Admission form available on the admissions website. Link to Application for Admission form http://www.tru.ca/__shared/assets/applicationform14449.pdf • 4. All Other Programs: Deadlines will vary from January through August 2013. Your application will be acknowledged, and you will receive further information on other requirements in the admissions process. OR • Limited Admission Programs generally accept applications to the end of August, or until the program is full and a waiting list is in place. Email Admissions (mailto:admissions@tru.ca) at any time to inquire if your program is still taking applications. • Selective Admission Programs each set their own deadlines. Check the specific date under the program of interest on the TRU Web site for current dates. Apply early: Students from all over BC and across Canada are now applying for admission. This makes applying early all the more important, as many programs have a limited capacity. 3. Contact TRU Admissions directly to request an Admissions Package for your program – this will include an Application Form, and all other forms and information required to complete the Admissions process. Application Fee for “First-time” Students Admissions packages are available from: “First-time” students to TRU who apply for admission to a credit program are charged a non-refundable, one time, application processing fee of $26.00. This fee must accompany their application for admission. The Admissions and Registration Department Thompson Rivers University 900 McGill Road Kamloops, B.C. V2C 0C8 Phone: (250) 828-5036 Fax: (250) 371-5960 Email (mailto:admissions@tru.ca) 7 Limited admission programs frequently include an admission interview, questionnaires, pretesting, orientations, letters of reference, and other relevant information as part of the admissions process. Admission Types “New to a program” students (those seeking to enrol in a new program of study at TRU for the first time) must apply, or re-apply if a different program of study is being pursued at TRU, by April 30, 2013, if they plan to attend the Fall 2013 and/or Winter 2014 semesters. Details are sent to applicants in an Admission Requirements Package, usually after they complete the initial application form. Once a student is determined to be qualified, they will be offered admission, and have 21 days to accept the offer, by payment of the Commitment Fee. Most one-year Certificate programs, some two-year Diploma and some Degree programs are limited admission. Once all seats are filled, qualified applicants will be put on a wait-list. “Continuing” students (those enrolling in the same program of study at TRU as they attended in the previous Fall and/or Winter semesters) do not need to re-apply each year. “Returning to TRU” students (those re-enrolling in the same program of study at TRU who were not enrolled in the previous Fall and/or Winter semesters) must re-apply by April 30, 2013, if they are planning to attend the Fall 2013 and/or Winter 2014 semesters. Selective Admission: When all completed applications and supporting documentation are accepted up to a pre-determined deadline date, after which they are assessed, using an established selection process that may include GPA standings, as well as other criteria. Meeting the Minimum Requirements for admission does not guarantee admission. Wait List Policy Selective admission programs frequently include an admission interview, questionnaires, pretesting, orientations, letters of reference, and other relevant information as part of the admissions process. New and returning students who apply for admission but are wait-listed and wish to be considered for the next intake must reapply for admission. Wait lists are not maintained following commencement of programs. Details are sent to applicants in an Admission Requirements Package, usually after they complete the initial application form. Admission – General Policy Once the assessment and ranking of qualified applicants has been completed, the limited number of seats in the program will be filled by offers of admission only to those students selected, and others may be put on a wait-list, or declined if application is incomplete. Students offered admission have 21 days to accept the offer by payment of the Commitment Fee. Basic Requirements The basic requirements for admission to most TRU programs include: • • • Completion of BC Grade 12 (or equivalent) or Mature Student Status BC English 12/English 12 First Peoples (or equivalent) – Grade required varies from 67%-80% or LPI Test Levels vary from 3-5 Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Residence status or study permit Several university degrees, along with a number of specialized Diploma programs are selective admission programs at TRU. Along with basic requirements, students will need specific high school course requirements set by each program. Detailed admission requirements for each individual program are provided in this calendar under the program descriptions. Admission Of Mature Students Any applicant of at least 19 years of age with a minimum of two years out of school who is lacking requirements for a program or course will be considered for mature student admission status. Although the grade level requirement (grade 10, grade 12, etc.) will be waived for students classified as mature, individual course prerequisites listed for the program or course being applied for must be met. TRU strongly recommends that students complete as many Grade 12 level courses as possible, including Computing,Language, Math, Sciences and Social Sciences, to enhance their success. Out-of-Province: The basic requirement to apply to TRU is proof of high school graduation, with the equivalent of BC English 12/English 12 First Peoples. Applications from all provinces are treated equally, and fees are the same for all Canadian students. Any applicant less than 19 but a full year out of school will be assessed individually. Such an applicant may be required to make up courses before being admitted to a program. All applicants applying for Mature Student Admission status are urged to seek assistance from an Academic Advisor. Admission – Three Kinds of Processes There are three different program admission processes at TRU. The first thing you should know is what kind of admission process is in place for the program you are interested in. Students who are admitted to a specific program of study must still meet the individual course prerequisites listed in order to enrol. Exception – University Preparatory Students General Requirements 1. 17 years of age and one year out of school 2. Canadian citizen, permanent resident or study permit Open Admission: Applications are accepted, and admission determined on a “first applied, first admitted” basis for qualified applicants, using the date by which the application was received. The only programs that offer Open Admission are first-year university study in the Arts (B.A.), Science (B.Sc.) and Business (B.B.A.) degrees. Students who apply while still in Grade 12 can be given conditional admission. 3. Academic Advising interview recommended Admission of Students Currently Enrolled in Secondary School Secondary school students who wish to make early application for a Fall semester program should forward an interim statement of grades either directly to Admissions or through the B.C.

In normal circumstances, all second language training should be completed prior to undertaking full-time post-secondary study. ESAL Level 5 courses (ESAL 0570, ESAL 0580) are pre-requisite courses for first year university English courses. Students at this level may be eligible to take up to three academic courses in addition to their ESL courses. For an up-to-date overview of the program go to the program website. f. Withdrawal for Medical Reasons - Apart from the policy outlined for international students, there is no provision for a medical refund outside this policy. For students who are required to withdraw for medical reasons, we encourage the student to visit their Academic Advisor and fill in a "Complete Program Withdraw Form". This allows the student to withdraw from a course or program without obtaining a "DNC - Did Not Complete" on their academic record. Satisfactory Academic Achievement All students who enter TRU are expected to maintain acceptable standards of academic performance. Students should refer to the section in this calendar which explains TRU's guidelines for acceptable performance. Should an international student begin to fall below the acceptable performance standards, he/she will receive a warning and be given access to academic advising services. If the student continues to be unable to maintain acceptable standards of academic performance, he/she shall be placed on probation and may, if the situation persists, be required to withdraw from the program. Medical Insurance All students must have adequate medical coverage while studying at TRU. If a student does not have adequate medical insurance, it must be purchased prior to course registration. 15 Assumptions International Student Support The first objective of TRU is to serve the educational needs of the University region and the Province. International education will support, not supplant, this goal by providing revenue for the University as well as for the communities in which the students are studying. Thompson Rivers University currently has more than 20 staff members who provide special support to international students. These include International Student Advisors who arrange for homestays, airport reception, student orientation, and provide ongoing support throughout the student's stay at TRU, International Admissions Officers who work closely with students to ensure they receive the necessary application and acceptance information and documentation, and International Student Academic Advisors who assist students with program planning and course selection. As well, our Activities, Events, and Housing Manager oversees optional activities for international students throughout the semester. The abovementioned services are the responsibility of the Associate Director, International Student Services and Study Abroad. The AVP and Director of TRU World are responsible for ensuring that all international students at TRU are well received and have a positive and successful experience. International education activities can be enhanced through cooperative arrangements among institutions, between public and private sectors, and between institutions and non-governmental agencies. TRU will participate with Canadian agencies which provide support and funding for international development, as well as with international funding agencies. Policy TRU accepts its responsibility as a part of the British Columbia postsecondary system to provide an international education program which will enhance academic, cultural and economic links with the world community. Homestay Program And Campus Residence International Education activities will normally fall within one of the following general areas: International students are encouraged to participate in the homestay program for at least the first semester of study. Homestay is an excellent way for a student to get settled, learn about Canadian culture and practice the English language. The family provides the student with a private room and three meals a day, including a bag lunch. Arrangements are made through TRU World. • • • • 1. International students, instructors and administrators come to TRU for regular and specifically designed programs. 2. TRU initiates and/or participates in international education projects in other countries. These can be of a developmental nature, and financed by external agencies or can be in the form of private or public sector joint ventures of a contractual nature. TRU's residences are situated on or near campus and are available to international students. There are three residences. Reservations are made directly with the individual residences. For detailed information see TRU World Website (http://www.truworld.ca) TRU Residence and Conference Centre is a modern residence located on the campus. On-Campus Housing (McGill Residence) is adjacent to the campus. Upper College Heights Residences is a 2-minute walk from campus. 3. Programs are provided to British Columbian residents to increase their knowledge and skills so that they may participate effectively in cross-cultural activities. Guidelines 1. Notwithstanding these benefits, both the provincial Ministry of Skills, Training and Labour and Thompson Rivers University Board recognize their primary responsibility is to the education of British Columbians. Policy on International Students Introduction 2. International students will not normally be accepted into limited enrollment programs if, by their acceptance, places are denied to qualified Canadians and permanent residents. This does not preempt the University from adding seats for international students to specific programs. The Government of British Columbia has a commitment to forging stronger links between the Province and the international community. With greater economic interdependence on a global scale, societies need to work together towards a stable and peaceful world economy. Cultural understanding is an important precursor to increased economic ties, and education is a major vehicle that can enhance these cultural and social bonds. 3. Programs designed for international students, which also create course opportunities for British Columbians, are encouraged. The education of students from other countries in British Columbia and the education of British Columbian students offshore lay the cultural, personal and economic foundations for improved international relations and economic development. The links established through the educational sector will, over the long term, result in expanded positive international relationships in other sectors of our society, making essential contributions to our social, cultural and economic goals. 4. Costs of educating international students (including administrative and management costs, as well as direct instructional costs) must be borne by international students, or their sponsoring agency, on a full cost-recovery basis. The presence of international students at Thompson Rivers University enriches the educational experience for the overall student body. Study abroad provides opportunities for university students to study and travel in other countries. University faculty and staff benefit from the renewal and professional development opportunities provided by working within a cross-cultural educational milieu. 16 Student Academic Policies, Regulations and Procedures • Index of Policies, Regulations and Procedures • Note: This subset of TRU Policies is presented here for convenience.

Students who are in receipt of government student assistance should also notify the appropriate provincial authority. Corequisites Corequisite courses, if any, must be taken at the same time as the desired course if the corequisite has not already been satisfactorily completed. Course Changes Course changes may be made only as indicated in the TRU Schedule of Events located at the beginning of this calendar. Official forms must be completed by the students and submitted to the Records Department before the deadline date. Students are urged to consult with Program and Academic Advisors before making course changes to confirm appropriateness of changed programs for academic or diploma/certificate completion. Course Exemptions The Department Chairperson will evaluate, on request, other courses taken at TRU and, where appropriate, will provide course exemptions toward the student's new program. This assessment will be done by Admissions for Academic and Degree completion programs. Course Numbering and Definitions Course Numbering Note Change: Effective Fall 2010 TRU revised its course numbering from a three-digit number to a four-digit number (i.e. ENGL 110, effective Fall 2010, becomes ENGL 1100). e.g.) English 1210 First Digit—Indicates year level at which the course is usually taken. Course numbers beginning with a “1” are first year courses. Second year courses begin with a “2”. The second and third digits further define a course. The fourth digit indicates whether it is a campus course or an Open Learning course. If it is an even number, it is a campus course. If it is an odd number, it is an Open Learning course. (i.e. ENGL 1100 is a first year campus course. ENGL 2101 is a second year Open Learning course). 17 Hours of Instruction No statement of grades, diploma or certificate will be issued until the student has cleared up all obligations to TRU in the way of fees, overdue library books, or outstanding fines and loans. e.g.) (3,1,3) The brackets (3,1,3) indicate the weekly hours of instruction for the course. The first digit inside the bracket indicates the number of lecture hours per week, the second digit indicates seminar hours per week, and the third digit indicates laboratory hours per week. The above example, therefore, would have 3 hours of lecture, 1 hour of seminar and 3 hours of laboratory per week for a total of 7 hours of instructor contact time each week. “L” indicates a lab and in nursing courses, a “P” following the third digit indicates a clinical practicum. For more information visit our website (http://www.tru.ca/admreg/academicrecords.html). Grading Systems TRU has various grading systems depending upon which program a student is enrolled. Please refer to Policy ED 3-5 to find out the exact grading system for your program. Grading System Policy http://www.tru.ca/__shared/assets/Grading_Systems5647.pdf Credit e.g.) (3 credits) The credits for a course are indicated following the course vectoring/hours of instruction. Student Classification Students admitted to TRU are classified as follows: Course Prerequisites 1. Full Time Student All students must meet the specific course prerequisites as set out in this calendar prior to enrolling in the course. Students who do not meet the course prerequisites may be asked to withdraw by the instructor. A student who meets the entrance requirements of the program in which she/he is enrolled, and who registers for at least 60% of a regular program of work each semester is classified as a full-time student. e.g. An academic student would have to be registered in at least 9 credits (3/5 x 15) to be classified as full time. Prerequisite courses, if any, must be completed satisfactorily before a student may register for a desired course. In the Science Division, satisfactory completion is a grade of “C” or better in the specific discipline courses, and all course prerequisites will be checked to ensure compliance. 2. Part Time Student A student who registers for less than 60% of a regular full program will be classified as a part time student. General Conduct 3. Auditor (non-credit) 1. TRU authorities do not assume responsibilities which properly rest with adults, parents or guardians. It is the policy of TRU to rely upon the good sense of students to maintain standards of acceptable behaviour. It is not necessary for auditors to meet academic requirements for admission or to submit transcripts of previous education with the application form. Regular tuition fees are charged for all courses audited. An auditor does not receive credit for the course. A grade of “AUD” is posted. 2. TRU prohibits any acts by students attending TRU, or by anyone else, which might cause injury to any person(s) or damage to TRU property. Students who register to audit a course must satisfy the instructor that they are taking reasonable steps to complete course requirements, although no formal evaluation procedures are required. If in the judgment of the instructor a student is not doing this, a grade of W will be recorded. 3. No liquor shall be brought onto TRU property except when authorized by the President, or his delegate, for approved functions. Grades - Calculation of Grade Point Average Students must meet with the instructor at the commencement of the course, or before a change to “Audit” status, to agree on what constitutes reasonable steps to complete course requirements. Students who wish to change from Credit to Audit status must do so by the end of the second week of the semester. 1. For each course taken the grade point value of the mark is multiplied by the credit value of that course. 2. The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credits to obtain the grade point average (GPA). Since Audit students do not have to satisfy prerequisites for entry into a particular course, departments that have courses with activities that involve potential safety issues (i.e., clinical, laboratory or experiential activities) have the right to refuse an Audit student's participation in these activities. 3. The GPA is calculated only on the courses taken for credit. 4. A course or grade may not be deleted from the permanent record. However, if the student repeats a course only the highest grade will be used in the calculation of their total grade point average, including equivalent courses taken through TRU-OL. Students should contact the Registrar's office to ensure GPA has been recalculated. Student Complaints If a student has a complaint about a particular course or instructor, the first step should be to discuss the problem with the instructor. If the problem is not resolved or the problem is such that the student does not wish to approach the instructor, the student should discuss the problem with the appropriate Department Chairperson or Dean. If the student is still dissatisfied, the student should consult with the office of Student Affairs, or a Counsellor. Note: Students who intend to transfer to another educational institution must realize that another institution may re-compute grade point average in accordance with its own policies. Grades - Statement of Grades Students can view their most current grades using their myTRU account.

The TRU Foundation Building Our Future Student Newspaper The TRU Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of education and other charitable purposes beneficial to TRU. Activities in support of the Foundation are accomplished through the efforts of a volunteer Society, Advancement staff, and community supporters. As a registered society under the statutes of the Province of British Columbia and governed by the regulations of Canada Customs and Revenue Department, the Foundation can issue charitable donation receipts to all of its donors. The Omega, Thompson Rivers University's Independent Student Newspaper, is a free press publication written by TRU students for the TRU campus community of students, faculty, and staff. At least 1500 newspapers are distributed to sites on and off campus, every Wednesday throughout the academic year, and once per month during the summer. Students are encouraged to volunteer at the paper as contributors or board members. PURPOSES OF THE FOUNDATION a. To undertake activities which promote and benefit education at TRU. Summer Session TRU offers a broad cross-section of courses in Summer Session, in both Kamloops and Williams Lake. Most courses run for seven weeks instead of the normal thirteen weeks, so you can complete your studies in Summer Session more quickly than in Fall or Winter. There are also ESL courses that run for twelve weeks. It's a great way to catch up or to get ahead in your studies. Classes tend to be smaller and students generally find Summer studies to be a very positive experience. Visit our website (http://www.tru.ca/summer) for the most up-to-date schedule and information. b. To encourage community interest in post secondary education at TRU. c. To obtain financial support for TRU programs and projects. d. To provide funds for financial awards for TRU students. e. To serve as the manager and trustee of funds invested with, or donated to the Foundation.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA). Students in the BA Co-op option who complete one work term are granted three credits for a non-arts elective. These three credits may be counted toward graduation requirements. For each additional work term, students are granted three credits; however, these credits may not be counted toward graduation requirements and are considered additional credits. (See your advisor for more information.) Learning Options Full-time or Part-time Study full-time or part-time. On-Campus Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.67 to apply to the BA Co-op option and must maintain a GPA of 2.67 to remain in the program. Generally, students must have completed 48 credits before beginning their first work term. The degree program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. A selection of 1st and 2nd year courses is offered at the Williams Lake campus. Program Start Dates Completion of Co-op 0900 is mandatory prior to a student’s first work term. Refer to the Co-operative Education section of the calendar for detailed information on Co-op policies and procedures and tuition fees. Students may enter the program in Fall, Winter or Summer semester. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education (http://www.tru.ca/distance.html). Sample Bachelor of Arts Co-op Time Pattern Program Overview The BA program provides a broad liberal arts education by combining a concentration in at least one discipline or thematic area of study with requirements that ensure a broad selection of courses. The Major programs of Economics, Economic and Political Studies, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology, and Theatre Arts allow students to focus specifically on courses in one area of study. All students in the BA program are exposed to a second language and to the process of scientific and formal reasoning. Moreover, the BA program emphasizes written communication skills. Each student must complete six credits of study in writing intensive courses at both the 1000-2000 level and at the 3000-4000 level. Each program of study, however, includes a number of possible degree options. Thus, students have a good deal of freedom to design a BA program that suits their own individual needs.

Once a student is admitted to the program, he or she will continue in the program without having to reapply for entry into Year Three. However, continuation from Year Two into Year Three is contingent upon meeting the following requirements: 1. First-Year English Requirement. Advancement to Year Three of the BA program requires satisfactory completion of the first year English requirement. Students who do not meet the six-credit first year English requirement before completing 60 credits of Arts-eligible credits, taken either at TRU or another post-secondary institution, will not be permitted to register in courses other than first year English until that requirement is satisfied. Humanities 2. G.P.A. Requirement. Advancement to Year Three of TRU BA program requires a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0. (In exceptional circumstances students with a cumulative G.P.A. of less than 2.0 but no lower than 1.95 will be conditionally registered in Year Three with the approval of the Dean of Arts.) Program Advising Students in the first and second years of the BA program should choose their 1000-2000 level courses in consultation with Academic Advisors in order to meet the basic requirements and the specific course requirements of 3000-4000 level courses. After completing their first 30 credits, but before completing their first 60 credits, students will be required to consult with a BA Program Advisor and declare a degree option. The BA Advisor (mailto:BAAdvising@tru.ca) will assist each student in selecting 3000-4000 level courses to meet graduation requirements and any specific requirements for the various degree options. Students wishing to complete a Major program must consult a Major Program Advisor in the discipline selected prior to seeing the BA Advisor. The Major Advisor will assist each student in selecting courses that satisfy the Major program requirements. The BA Advisor will then ensure that all additional BA degree requirements are met.

As most Major programs require more than the minimum credits, students should read carefully the individual program descriptions which follow. Students in the General BA may take two concentrations. In such a case, students must take a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 36 credits in each of their two disciplines of concentration, including a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 24 credits in 3000-4000 level courses in each of the two disciplines. A student must still take a minimum of 12 credits in 3000-4000 level courses in a category (or in categories) other than the student’s area of concentration. If the second concentration is in a category outside of the first concentration, however, this requirement will be met automatically.

If you enjoy a logical, common-sense approach to society's complex issues, economics may be for you. Major programs require a minimum of 42 to 45 and a maximum of 60 credits in one discipline, including a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 42 credits at the 3000-4000 level. At least six credits must be taken in 3000-4000 level courses in disciplines which do not offer Major programs. Currently these disciplines include: Anthropology, Canadian Studies, Film, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Political Studies, and Visual Arts. A Major in Economics concentrates on building broad-based rather than job-specific skills - i.e., it is a Liberal Arts rather than a professional or vocational degree. An in-depth study of economic issues and methods will enhance many career paths. Policy oriented courses are particularly helpful for the later study of law or politics; theory courses sharpen reasoning skills as well as adding depth to policy analysis and are especially important for the later study of business, finance and accounting through an MBA degree; and a Major in Economics is an obvious prerequisite for graduate studies in Economics. Major programs are currently available at TRU in Economics, Economics/Politics, English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology, and Theatre Arts. Each discipline has its own specific requirements for its Major program. Students should read carefully the individual program descriptions which follow. It is anticipated that students will use the Major in Economics to enter such career paths as: provincial ministries, government agencies, crown corporations, financial services sector (insurance, banking, etc.), consulting firms, firms in the natural resources sector, graduate studies in Economics, business, law, or self employment. Major Program in Economics What is Economics? Economics provides a framework for analyzing and helping to solve society's problems. Economists examine how and why people consumers, investors, workers, managers, public servants, volunteers make choices about the use of resources. They also study the ways in which those decisions affect regional, national and world economics. Admission Requirements Students are expected to enter the Major program in the third year of their studies, although fourth year applicants will also be considered. According to the rules of the TRU BA program, students can declare their Major as early as the second year of their studies. Regardless of the chosen time of entrance into the program, all candidates must meet with the Economics Major Advisor to check their qualifications and design the best suited path for completing the Economics and BA degree requirements. Given the complexity of the various requirements, it is highly advisable that students consult the Economics Major Advisor as soon as they decide to enter into the program. Economists examine the effects of public policy and use their training to develop government policies that are more efficient, equitable, and responsive to the public will. They apply their skills in areas as diverse as banking, law, education, finance, the environment, manufacturing, trade, welfare, agriculture, health, insurance, criminal justice, labor, energy, and transportation. Studying Economics The minimum admission requirements into the Economics Major are admission to the BA program, and completion of ECON 1900, ECON 1950 and one of the following courses: MATH 1170 or MATH 1140, or equivalent. Economics Major, Minor, and Concentration programs within the Bachelor of Arts are designed to provide a high quality undergraduate economics education within a liberal arts tradition. The purpose of the BA with a major in Economics is to introduce students to the core body of knowledge within the Economics discipline, thereby developing within the students a particular set of abilities or skills. Graduation Requirements The Major in Economics program requires the completion of at least: 45 credits in Economics (ECON and BUEC) 3 credits in Mathematics These include: • • • • • • • • • • 3 credits from disciplines within the Arts Division evaluative and critical thinking (being able to analyze and comment on the work of others); analytics (being able to use either deductive or mathematical reasoning to solve problems); learning skills (the ability to meet goals, manage time, and complete a project successfully); cooperation skills (the ability to cooperate with others and work in teams); information technologies skills (the ability to use a number of systems and programs); applications (being able to apply the tools of economic analysis to real-world problems); effective oral and written communication skills (being able to write and speak with clarity); creativity (being innovative in formulating and testing hypotheses about economic issues); research skills (the ability to conduct research and organize material effectively); and decision making skills (the exercise of independent judgment and ethical decision-making). From the 45 credits in Economics, a minimum of 30 credits must be at the upper level (3000 and 4000 level) of which no less than 6 credits must be at the 4000 level.

The focus of English studies is reading, writing, and imagining: the basic skills that our civilization depends on, and always will. The study of English introduces students to an enormous range of human creative activity, from ancient civilizations to the most recent developments in film and creative writing. English forms a natural fit with other disciplines, too, including history, Canadian Studies, journalism, philosophy, fine arts, sociology, and psychology. A degree in English will never be obsolete; it provides experience and skills that will remain of value throughout one’s lifetime. Studying at TRU Plus: Select any two (2) additional ECON or BUEC third or fourth year courses. The English Major Program provides a comprehensive study of writing from ancient to contemporary cultures. Students are encouraged to explore complex texts and to develop their thinking, writing, and reading skills – skills essential for numerous professions in the Information Age and for future literary studies. The program provides the comprehensive, historical coverage generally demanded of students going on to further study in English literature, with an emphasis on the breadth of recent English literature. Students can receive a BA with a Major in English. Recommended: Any one history course and an additional six (6) language credits Careers A BA with an economics and politics major provides flexibility and opportunity, and it can take you in many directions. Public agencies at the national, provincial and local levels hire economists to monitor the economy, assess the impact of environmental or health regulations, and contribute to policy formation. Non-profit groups such as hospitals, community foundations and charitable organizations employ economists to help them decide how best to use their scarce resources. Economists work in these areas: • • • • • • • The English Department at TRU is exceptionally strong. Several of our faculty have received Master Teacher and Scholarly Merit awards, and our graduates have been accepted at many universities, including McGill, UBC, UVic, The University of Alberta, Memorial University, The University of Western Ontario, The University of Saskatchewan, and The University of Toronto. Our students have also won prestigious awards such as the Bombardier Scholarship and the University Medal in Arts. Banking Financial Services Journalism Business Government Consultant (Business and Government) Analyst (Business and Government) In addition to presenting papers at conferences throughout the world, department members have published books, journal articles, and contributions to books both nationally and internationally. The journal Textual Studies in Canada was begun by department members, and TRU’s English Department is also home to the Margaret Atwood, the Michael Ondaatje, and the Earle Birney websites. Admission Requirements Students usually declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses. All candidates are assigned a Major Program Advisor and they must meet to ensure that they qualify and so that an appropriate selection of courses can take place. The advantage of small classes translates into individual attention and a wide variety of opportunities for students. The Department of English, through the Writing Centre and various research projects, has employed students in editing, researching and tutoring. The Department also sponsors informal groups devoted to reading and writing, such as TRU Fiction, the university’s creative writing group, and hosts readings and lectures which afford students the opportunity to hear novelists, poets and other writers present their work and offer advice to student writers. All of these activities reflect the dynamic creative nature of English studies at TRU. The minimum admission requirements into the Economic and Political Studies Major are admission to the BA program, and completion of ECON 1900, ECON 1950, POLI 1110, POLI 1210, BUEC 2320 or equivalent, and one of the following courses: MATH 1170 or MATH 1140 or equivalent. Opportunities for Further Study Careers A bachelor’s degree in Economics and Politics is an excellent preparation for graduate studies — whether in economics or politics, or in another field such as law, business, public administration, environmental studies, health-care administration, labour relations, urban planning, diplomacy, or one of many others. A degree in economics and politics is also excellent preparation for an MBA program. Apart from graduate studies in English itself, the English Major is traditional preparation for careers in education, journalism, publishing, law, advertising, public relations, library science, theatre, government, and creative writing. But it is also a good start for those interested in the ministry and religious paths, in counselling and therapy, social work, management, and other areas where imagination, precision, organization, and good communication skills are important.

Major Program in History 6. Of the thirty-three credits required of the Major in History, at least nine must be taken at the 4000-level. What is History? History is the study of the past. It is not, however, simply about memorizing a timeline or learning a set of facts. Our understanding of history is constantly changing as new perspectives, interpretations, and evidence are brought forth. History, then, is a dynamic field that is enriched by ongoing debates about all aspects of the past. History is the most universal of the humanities, encompassing the study of everything from politics, gender, and society to technology, economics, and war. 7. Of the forty-five lower- and upper-level credits in History required of History Major students, no fewer than six must be from Canadian History. 8. Credit toward the History Major is also given for successful completion of Philosophy 4190. Opportunities for Further Study History offers students the opportunity to develop skills that are invaluable in all fields of endeavour. In History, students will develop and strengthen their capacity for critical thinking. They will learn how to define complex problems, conduct research, classify extensive data, and construct effective arguments. They will sharpen their oral and written communication skills, and analyze issues that are relevant to contemporary concerns. Students of History will not only gain intellectual fulfillment, but a range of concrete skills that are eagerly sought by employers. The History program at TRU well prepares students for graduate studies at institutions across Canada, the United States, and Europe. It also prepares students for admission into law schools across Canada and internationally. Program Contact BA Advisor mailto:baadvising@tru.ca 250-371-5566 History Advisor 250-828-5116 Careers History prepares students for a wide variety of careers. History opens the door to career opportunities in several fields, including education, museum, heritage and archival work, and research. By developing essential analytical, organizational, and communication skills, students of History will also be well prepared for careers in law, journalism, publishing, information management, the public service, business, communications, social services, and politics. Chair of History Terry Kading (mailto:tkading@tru.ca) 250-371-5523 Tina Block 250-828-5329 Major Program In Mathematics Admission Requirements What is Mathematics? Students usually declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses. All candidates are assigned a Major Program Advisor and they must meet to ensure that they qualify and so that an appropriate selection of courses can take place. Mathematics is the science of patterns. With ancient roots in arithmetic and geometry, two of the seven liberal arts, mathematics has evolved into a complex language that goes far beyond calculation. It may be studied for its own beauty and aesthetics or for its applications to areas such as physical and life sciences, finance and economics, computing and information theory, social sciences, and fine arts. Mathematics has been described as the study of: quantity (arithmetic, number theory, statistics), space (geometry, linear algebra, topology), change (calculus, differential and difference equations, analysis), structure (algebra, combinatorics, graph theory logic), and randomness (probability theory, statistics, dynamical systems). Before students can declare their Major they must have met the admission requirements for the BA. As well, they must have successfully completed no fewer than 9 credits in lower-level History courses, either at TRU or at other accredited institutions. Graduation Requirements 3rd and 4th Year 1. Students must take 33 credits in History courses numbered between 3000 and 4990, including History 3000 and cross-listed courses from other disciplines. Studying at TRU The department of Mathematics and Statistics has 18 well-qualified faculty members who are committed to teaching excellence and student success. Many of our faculty are also strongly involved in research. The Historian's Craft (HIST 3000) (HUM/SS) (3,0,0) 3 credits They have published papers in numerous mathematical and statistical journals and have made presentations at conferences in North America and abroad. This course approaches the history of historical enquiry in its social, cultural, intellectual, methodological, economic and political contexts. Mandatory for students taking the History Major. Studying at TRU offers many advantages, including small class sizes and readily accessible instructors. Our typical lower level classes have no more than 36 students while third and fourth year classes usually have fewer than 15 students. Small class sizes enable our instructors to give students more individual attention than that available at large universities. Prerequisites: Students must have no fewer than 6 credits in recognized lower level History courses and be a declared History Majors student. Students with credit for HIST 4950 will not normally be admitted. 2. Entrance to any 4000-level course requires no fewer than three credits in 3000- level History courses. 41 5. No more than 6 of these 9 credits may be in Computing Science. Our department offers a BSc with a major in Mathematics or Mathematical Sciences and a BA with a major in Mathematics. We also provide a wide variety of service courses for other diploma and degree programs offered at TRU. 6. Honours program in Mathematics requires all of: Math 3000, 3070, 3200, and 3220 plus Math 4950. Careers Program Contact Mathematics and Statistics graduates of our program are high school teachers, university professors, actuaries, statisticians, information technology specialists, and financial analysts. Mathematics graduates are sought after for their abilities in problem solving and analysis. Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts program have strong writing and communication skills, a valued skill in multidisciplinary environments.

Students need to choose four (4) more courses from the General Stream section, other than STAT 3060. Major Program in Philosophy What is Philosophy? Third and Fourth Year Courses for the General Stream: MATH 3020: Introduction to Probability (3 credits) Philosophy is quite unlike any other field. It is unique both in its methods and in the nature and breadth of its subject matter and pursues questions in every dimension of human life, and its techniques apply to problems in any field of study or endeavour. Philosophy develops the capacity to see the world from the perspective of other individuals and other cultures; it enhances one's ability to perceive the relationships among the various fields of study; and it deepens one's sense of the meaning and varieties of human experience. MATH 3030: Introduction to Stochastic Processes (3 credits) STAT 3050: Introduction to Statistical Inference (3 credits) STAT 3060: Applied Regression Analysis (3 credits) MATH 3160: Differential Equations 2 (3 credits) MATH 3400: Introduction to Linear Programming (3 credits) STAT 4040: Analysis of Variance (3 credits) MATH 4410: Modelling of Discrete Optimization Problems (3 credits) The great virtue of philosophy is that it teaches not what to think, but how to think. Philosophy students develop finely honed analytic skills and problem solving abilities that make them extremely effective in a variety of professional careers. MATH Elective (an additional 3000 or 4000-level MATH course) (3 credits) Program Contact Logic is concerned to provide sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. Ethics takes up the meaning of our moral concepts (such as right action, obligation, goodness, justice) and formulates principles to guide moral decisions whether in private or public life. Metaphysics seeks basic criteria for determining what sort of things are real, for what exists. Epistemology concerns the nature and scope of knowledge. The History of Philosophy studies both major philosophers and entire periods in the development of philosophy. Rick Brewster mailto:rbrewster@tru.ca Chair of Mathematics 250-828-5215 Peter Tsigaris mailto:ptsigaris@tru.ca Chair of Economics 250-371-5732 Studying at TRU Our department offers courses on everything from Plato to Logic, Epistemology to Philosophy of Rock, Empiricism to Philosophy of Sex and Love, Philosophy of Mind to Feminism. Our faculty has expertise in both the continental and analytic traditions, history of philosophy, applied ethics, feminism, pop culture and philosophy of law. With small class sizes and a faculty that is committed to undergraduate education, the Philosophy Major at TRU provides a solid grounding in both traditional fields of philosophical study and cutting edge courses in contemporary issues and ideas. The Major in Philosophy offers a sufficient number of courses in core areas of philosophy for graduates to be able to gain admission to graduate studies in philosophy. At the same time, the program is sufficiently flexible that it will also satisfy the needs and interests of students who are not contemplating graduate studies in philosophy or who may be planning on pursuing other post-baccalaureate studies (education, law, social work). Careers in Philosophy The Philosophy Major will appeal to students interested in pursuing graduate studies in philosophy, a career in law, business, journalism, government, social work, or education. Admission to the Philosophy Major Program Requirements Although students normally declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses, some first-year and second-year courses are required.

Psychology is the scientific study of thought, feeling and behaviour. As both a scientific discipline and a profession, psychology relates to virtually every aspect of people's lives. Through research, psychology plays an important role in understanding human behaviour and applying this knowledge. Psychology at TRU The Psychology Department at TRU offers a variety of courses and the option of obtaining a Major, Minor or Honours in Psychology as part of the Bachelor of Arts degree. Careers Psychology is a broad field, offering a wide variety of opportunities depending on personal interests and aptitude. Many Psychology graduates gravitate towards careers in human services, business, the public sector, and education, among many others. While a bachelor's degree is an important first step, many Psychology graduates carry on to master's and doctoral programs to achieve their desired careers. Admission Requirements Admission to the Psychology major requires completion of Psychology 1110, 1210, 2100, and 2110 as well as admission to the BA program. The decision to major in Psychology must be made before the completion of 60 credits but not before completion of 30 credits. Students intending to major in psychology must see both a Psychology Major Advisor and a BA Program Advisor. The Major Advisor will assist each student in selecting courses that will satisfy the Major program requirements. The BA Advisor will then ensure that all additional BA degree requirements are met. 44 Graduation Requirements First and Second Years In your first and second years at TRU, you must meet the admission requirements for the BA degree, as outlined above.

Honours Program in Psychology An Honours program provides an opportunity for academically successful and motivated students to develop their research, writing, and analytical skills. Completion of an Honours program will strengthen a student's application to graduate schools. This program is suitable for students wishing to pursue graduate or professional schools. Students must receive a 'B' average in Psychology 1110, 1210, 2100 and 2110 to enter an Honours program at the third year level. Students must maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.0 in their 3rd and 4th year courses with no psychology course below a 'B-', and obtain a minimum of a 'B' grade in Psychology 3190 to remain in an Honours Program. (A 'B' grade in Psychology 3190 is a prerequisite for enrolment in the Honours Thesis course.) Students who do not meet the above requirements may write an appeal to the Psychology Department Chair, who will present the appeal to the Curriculum Committee. 45 In addition to the requirements for a major, an Honours degree requires a completion of 126 credits, of which a minimum of 54 credits must be at the upper level (3000 and 4000 level courses), including successful completion of an Honours Thesis (PSYC 4990). A minimum of 36 credits in upper level Psychology must be completed (including the Honours Thesis). Opportunities for Further Study Students interested in pursuing graduate studies in Psychology should consider the Honours Program.

Sociology, the study of human society, is a broadly based liberal arts and research discipline - one of the most diversified, interesting, and practical disciplines there is (we think!). Sociologists are devoted to the study of social groups and processes, using applied logic in combination with empirical research to ascertain "what is" and "what can be". We believe that it is the task of sociologists to conduct critical public debate about social institutions. We seek to contribute to that debate and equip our students with the skills to do so too. Sociology at TRU Our Sociology major will give you extensive knowledge of the key social factors affecting human behaviour and also develop your skills in designing and evaluating research. Careers Sociology graduates can expect to have access to a wide range of careers in government services, management, social agencies, research, teaching, and a range of professional and semi-professional occupations. Admission Requirements Students usually declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses. All candidates are assigned a Major Program Advisor and they must meet to ensure that they qualify and so that an appropriate selection of courses can take place. Before students can declare their Major they must have met the admission requirements for the BA. Admission to the major requires completion of SOCI 1110 and 1210 two 2000-level Sociology courses, of which three of the four Sociology courses must receive Grade C+ or above.

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Journalism Students who have already completed a bachelor's degree may consider the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Journalism. A student who already has a bachelor's degree in another discipline from TRU or any other accredited university may enter the program and earn a second bachelor's degree in Journalism. Students applying for admission to the Bachelor of Journalism program or the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma should have their credentials reviewed by the Program Chair to ensure that they satisfy prerequisites and GPA requirements. With the consent of the Program Chair, qualified students may enter the Journalism program on a part-time basis, and space permitting, students from other disciplines may take journalism courses. Recommendations for Electives Recommendations for Elective Courses Both journalism courses and electives are selected in consultation with the program chair. Students should use their electives to either develop a particular specialty, or help fill in gaps in their general knowledge. For instance, students seeking to enhance their writing skills may develop a concentration in courses offered through the English Department. Similarly, the Departments of Philosophy, History, Geography, Sociology, and Political Science offer a number of 3000 and 4000 level courses that would enable students to enhance their knowledge of Canadian history, politics, and social structure. These requirements reflect the value that TRU places on a broadly-based education in the Humanities, the Sciences and Social Sciences, and Business. In addition to the list of recommended Communication and New Media courses noted in the chart below, we recommend that students in the Bachelor of Journalism program select a wide range of courses, in particular those with depth in Canadian content, and several writingintensive courses.

This program does not, by itself, qualify a person to teach in a kindergarten that is part of a public school system. PLAR is a concept that permits the student to earn credit for postsecondary level knowledge regardless of where or how the learning occurred. A student may be assessed for prior learning for some of the courses in the ECE program. Applicants must meet all program prerequisites, and be admitted to the program prior to applying for PLAR. Please see the program coordinator for more information about PLAR. Please note: The ECE Registry requires 500 hours of work experience under the supervision of a licensed Early Childhood Educator in order to qualify for a Licence to Practice as an Early Childhood Educator. Many of these hours can be completed between the second and third semesters as either volunteer or paid assistant in an early childhood setting. Students may be granted credit for equivalent courses completed at other post-secondary institutions. The student is required to discuss the possibility of transfer credit with the program coordinator as soon as possible after being accepted into the program. Supplementary information may be required in order to determine if advanced standing can be granted. Infant/Toddler Educator Post-Diploma Certificate Graduates of the Early Childhood Education program may choose to continue their studies for one semester so that they can work with infants and toddlers in licenced settings. Completion of the postdiploma certificate satisfies the requirements of the ECE Registry Services for a Licence to Practice as an Infant/Toddler Educator in British Columbia.

(An offer of admission will be conditional on successful completion of the third year by June 30 of the academic year in question with a minimum of 90 credits at a degree-granting institution, and maintenance of the academic average obtained in the first two years of studies. 30 of the 90 credit requirements must be completed at the senior level); and Program Overview The course of study will consist primarily of in-person instruction and learning and/or instruction and learning that involves direct interaction between instructors and students. Opportunities and experiential learning will be developed in collaboration with the University of Calgary, professional organizations such as the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of BC, members of the BC Bar and judiciary. Essentially, first year courses include a mixture of learning principles of substantive law and the acquisition of basic lawyering skills, in particular the ability to "think like a lawyer". These two areas of focus will then be elaborated upon in upper year courses, with greater emphasis on learning of principles of substantive law and the additional focus on the acquisition of the practical, clinical and advocacy legal skills required in order to perform the multi-facetted responsibilities expected of a lawyer in the varied roles the profession is called upon to perform. A personal statement is required in all categories. Regular applicants may request that special circumstances be considered in determining their academic average. The special factors or circumstances (such as medical or other emergency matters) must be documented fully. If a regular applicant requests the Admissions Committee to consider making an adjustment to the overall academic average, the facts must be verified and supported by appropriate documentation. If the special circumstances are medical, then a doctor’s letter is required. Not all special circumstances can be considered in the regular category. Certain factors such as financial hardship, learning disabilities or other disadvantages, or ethnic background, can only be considered in the Special Consideration category. Instruction in this knowledge and skill base will be through lectures, Socratic discussion, small group seminars and practical and clinical learning experiences. Specific Competency Requirements: Regular applicants will be advised in writing as soon as possible whether their application has been accepted or rejected for admission purposes. Applicants who have not received a letter will be on the wait list until a decision can be make. In addition, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation (academic), one letter of recommendation (non-academic), LSAT score and official transcripts are required. A further element of the Law School curriculum is comprised of the additional requirements of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. In its Final Report, the Federation stipulates that, in order to be eligible to enter the articling process under the auspices of the Provincial of Territorial Law Society, law school graduates must possess a number of competencies. While already implicit in its curriculum, TRU Law School will ensure that these competencies are an integral part of the curriculum and course of study. These are the three types (i) Skills Competencies, comprising Problem-Solving, Legal Research and Oral and Written Communication; (ii) Ethics and Professionalism and (iii) Substantive Knowledge. Special Consideration Applicants A limited number of positions in first-year law are available for applicants under the Special Considerations category. Because of special factors in life, an applicant may not satisfy one or more of the requirements for regular applicants, but may have other relevant achievements and experience. The Admissions Committee will respond to this type of situation by taking into account factors such as disability or special needs, financial disadvantage, age (generally over 30 years old), membership in a historically disadvantaged group, residency in a small and/or remote community or any other factors that the applicant wishes the Admissions Committee to consider. These factors will be volunteer work for community and/or charitable organizations. Admission Requirements The vast majority of applicants admitted to TRU Law will have an undergraduate degree. However, particular attention will be paid to ensuring that students from smaller and remoter British Columbia communities, Aboriginal students, persons of colour and persons with disabilities will have opportunities to attend the Law School. Students would be admitted to TRU Faculty of Law in a number of categories: Regular Applicants, Special Consideration Applicants and Aboriginal Applicants. Applicants applying in the Special Consideration category are normally required to have completed the first two years of an approved course of studies leading to an undergraduate degree at a degree granting institution. A personal statement, two letters of recommendation (academic), one letter of recommendation (non-academic), LSAT score and official transcripts are required, and where appropriate, documentation such as medical reports should be submitted. Applicants applying in the Special Consideration category must also submit a biographical resumé detailing the special factors, including their achievements and work experience, they wish the Admissions Committee to consider. Each application is considered individually on its merits.

University of Calgary Course TRU Course Numbers Program Contact Anne Pappas, J.D. mailto:apappas@tru.ca Founding Assistant Dean 250-852-7268 Course Name 135 School of Nursing Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree A four-year degree program. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN). Upon completion graduates are eligible to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) and apply for registration with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) to practice as a Registered Nurse (RN). Learning Options Learning Experiences Full-time or Part-time Study Students have practicum experiences throughout the four years of the program including a 4-6 week practicum during May/June. Practica occur in acute care hospitals, extended care hospitals, intermediate care hospitals, and other community health agencies and homes. Outlying agencies in the region are used for clinical practice. Students are required to travel outside of Kamloops for practica. Practicum courses may also include evening and weekend experiences. While most students complete the program on a full-time basis over four years, students may opt to study on a part-time basis and complete the program over a longer period of time. On-Campus The program is offered at the Kamloops campus pending seat availability. International Experiences Program Overview International Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program educates nurses to work with individuals, families, groups or communities from a health promotion perspective and an ethic of caring. At the end of their third year, nursing students have an opportunity to complete an international CPE. This experience replaces their usual year end practicum. The Practice Placement Coordinator (PPC) for nursing provides information on the application process. Approval is contingent on several conditions. The curriculum is based on a commitment to consider the changing health care needs of our society. Emerging from this commitment is the concept of caring. Caring is understood as the attitude and activity of nursing and will be considered in every nursing course. Nursing practice experiences have been planned and integrated throughout the program of studies. Since 1999 TRU nursing students have been to Nepal, Samoa, Thailand, and Lesotho. Students are always accompanied by TRU nursing faculty members. Preliminary site visits for countries considered for CPE are always completed by experienced faculty to determine suitability for practice for our students. Risk assessments are also done by qualified members of TRU World. The BScN degree does not qualify the graduate to undertake employment as a registered nurse, but does qualify the graduate to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE). To become a registered nurse, graduates must write and pass the CRNE. Students applying for CRNE examination and registration are asked to provide information regarding any convictions for criminal offenses (other than minor traffic violations). Candidates with criminal convictions may not be eligible for registration. Students are provided with guidance in cultural sensitivity and safety, and are also debriefed on their return from international experiences. Following their return, each group of students is expected to prepare a presentation about their experiences for students and faculty campus wide. To encourage global education, guest speakers from a variety of countries have presented to students and faculty. Another way that students can participate in an international experience is by taking part in Study Abroad which is offered during the fourth year of the BScN program. Nursing at TRU The BScN program consists of courses in nursing, the humanities, and the physical and social sciences as they are applied to the nursing care of individuals and their families. The international and global education opportunities within the BScN program are applicable to the new TRU Global Competency http://www.tru.ca/global.html credential. Studies will give students the technical knowledge, human understanding and practical skills to provide responsible and competent client-centered care. Graduates of the program will be prepared to function as team members in non-specialized/specialized acute care, intermediate and/or extended care hospitals, clinics, home care agencies and community health agencies. Careers The program has been granted the maximum seven-year national accreditation from the Canadian Association of University Schools of Nursing in 2008 and CRNBC seven year Recognition in 2012. Eighty students are accepted every September in Kamloops and sixteen students are accepted into the Williams Lake campus every second year (even years). The TRU Bachelor of Science in Nursing program provides the foundation for a successful, dynamic professional career in health care. RNs support people to attain, maintain and regain health across the lifespan. Nurses practise in five major areas of responsibility: direct care, education, administration, research and policy.

The TRU BScN program accepts transfer students from other AUCC (or equivalent) accredited post-secondary institutions. Transferring between institutions is generally not straight-forward and students will often be admitted at a point earlier in the program, thus taking longer to complete the BScN degree. Transfer students are only offered a seat in the program if the student is found to be in good standing and a seat is available within the program. Internal re-entry students are given first priority for available seats. Prospective transfer students must apply to TRU as a transfer student to the BScN program. Mature students who have recently completed BIOL 1590/1690 or equivalents with a C or above grade may have the Chemistry 11, Biology 12 and one other Science 11 or 12 prerequisites waived. Consult with the Student Advisor, School of Nursing. 137 Application Procedure Prospective students must submit a complete application to the program to be received no later than January 15 for the class of September of the same year.

Graduates of the program receive a Master of Science degree (MSc). An admission committee will review your application. We are looking for students with dedication and enthusiasm for environmental sciences, who are able to benefit from and contribute to the program, and who have a desire to interact fully with faculty members and other students. Prior to applying please review the MSc webpage and identify two faculty members whose research appeals to you. Admission will be determined by your academic and professional record, letters of recommendation, area of research interest and the ability of a faculty member to accept you into their research group. Program Overview The MSc in Environmental Science is a thesis-based degree with three areas of specialization: 1) Ecology and Evolution; 2) Physical Sciences; and 3) Policy and Management. Because of our broad range of expertise, TRU is superbly positioned to train students to approach specific sub-disciplines using techniques ranging from molecular techniques to ecosystem ecology to policy, management, and ethical considerations. Application The environment is a complex of biological, geological, physical, chemical, social and cultural factors that interact to influence the life of an individual or community. Our environment is threatened by global issues, such as overpopulation, global climate change, and habitat fragmentation. Many of these issues are caused by humans, and in turn they are threatening the very wellbeing of humans. The problems we face today are not solvable by science alone, but by an equal discovery and knowledge of culture, sociology, economics, politics and ethics. The TRU MSc in Environmental Science provides an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to the study of the environment. The program is structured to be unique, flexible and relevant.

The core courses are the backbone of our program where faculty and students from many different disciplines analyze and discuss environmental issues from different perspectives. Masters Thesis - 12 credits Continuous Enrolment and Residency Requirement Students should normally be continuously enrolled from the time they first enrol for research credit until the thesis is accepted. They must also meet or consult with their Advisory Committee annually. All MSc students should normally spend no less than two semesters at TRU as full-time students, which means enrolled for a minimum of 9 credit hours per semester.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree (BSc). Many of our graduates are highly successful and have gone on to science careers in medicine, veterinary medicine, medical genetics, elementary and high school teaching, resource management, high tech industry, biotechnology, optometry, pharmacy, dentistry, wildlife management, respiratory therapy and more. A significant number of TRU Science graduates have been very successful in graduate schools and have receive NSERC scholarships to continue their studies. Learning Options Full-time or Part-time Students may study full-time or part-time. On-Campus The degree program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in Fall, Winter or Summer semester. Service Learning Distance Education Students may take six credits of service learning during their third or fourth year. Of these six credits, three may be applied directly to the major. A service learning course is a faculty-supervised communitybased learning project completed individually or in groups of up to five students. Many courses are available by distance education. Visit www.tru.ca/distance.html http://www.tru.ca/distance.html Program Overview The Faculty of Science is committed to providing its students with a quality education emphasizing personal attention, choice and flexibility. In the Bachelor of Science program, students can expect opportunities for practical, hands-on experience across a spectrum of science disciplines in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field. In addition, there are opportunities for students to work with nationally and internationally recognized professor-researchers in their research laboratories. Co-operative Education Students planning to take a Major program in Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Mathematics or Physics may apply to enter the Cooperative Education option in one of these areas. This option integrates academic study terms with paid work terms, providing the student with relevant experience in their field of study, and usually requires an additional year for completion of the degree program. Applications to enter the Co-op option are made early in the student's second or third year of study and work terms normally commence at the end of that year. The BSc is a rigorous program that provides students with both depth and breadth in their science education. Communication skills and computer literacy are promoted. Flexibility in the program allows students to pursue interests in disciplines outside their area of specialization. Refer to Co-operative Education for detailed information on Co-op policies, procedures, and fees. TRU offers three routes to a BSc degree: a Major in a specific discipline or disciplines, an Honours program in a specific discipline (currently available only in Biology, Chemical Biology, Mathematics and Computing Science), or a General Science degree. 144 Biology Option Physics Option Students must have completed first year and will have completed three of BIOL 2160, BIOL 2170, BIOL 2280, BIOL 2290, before the first work term.

International Experiences Study Abroad TRU offers a range of International Exchange opportunities, and is a member of a large, international Study Abroad program that gives students access to universities around the world. B.I.S. students may want to spend one or more semesters of study at another university. TRU Dual Start Credits BC secondary students have the opportunity to earn dual credit through the TRU Start program. Students completing one or two Dual Credit Course(s) will receive credit for one or two elective courses towards their Dogwood credential, as well as one or two university credit course(s) with TRU. International Field Schools TRU offers a number of general and program specific field schools every year. These schools run from two to six weeks in length and offer course credit that can be applied to your degree. Application Deadlines Applications are accepted starting October 1st, for programs starting in August or September the following year. Admission Requirements Students entering the Bachelor of Science program are required to complete English 1100, along with specific science courses, which vary depending on the student’s intended major. (See below for details.) Prerequisites for English 1100 are English 12/English 12 First Peoples with a minimum of 73% within the last 5 years, or Level 4 on the composition section of the Language Proficiency Index (within the last 2 years) or completion of English 0600 or completion of ESAL 0570 and ESAL 0580 with a grade of C+ or better. Early Application Deadline: March 1st Best course selection with highest priority for early July course registrations. Regular Deadline: April 30th Registration for courses will be available in July. Late Application Deadline: Applications will be accepted until the beginning of the Fall/September semester. However, students will only be admitted and allowed to register in courses as space permits. Bachelor of Science majors have specific first year course requirements. It is strongly recommended that students become familiar with the prerequisite requirements for these courses before applying for admission. In general, the minimum prerequisite requirements for courses in the first year courses in the BSc programs are as follows: Major Prerequisites Biology (all Majors) General Science Biology 11 or 12 with C+ or better Chemistry 11 or Chem 0500 Chemistry Environmental Chemistry Principles of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 with C+ or better within the past 2 years or equivalent Physics 11 or Physics 1130 Computing Science Mathematics Mathematical Sciences Physics Chemistry 11 or Chem 0500 Principles of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 with C+ or better within the past 2 years or equivalent Physics 11 or Physics 1130 To ensure a good selection of courses, it is recommended that applicants apply as soon as possible after October 1st. Program Costs Tuition: estimated at $3500 for two full-time semesters of study Student fees: estimated at $1000 for two full-time semesters of study Students must also purchase required text books and materials. Lab fees may apply to courses with a lab component. For detailed information on fees, see Admission Fees (http://www.tru.ca/admreg/fees.html). Program Advising Students in the first and second years of the BSc program should choose their 1000-2000 level courses in consultation with an Academic Advisor mailto:advising@tru.ca in order to meet the basic requirements and the specific prerequisite requirements for the 3000-4000 level courses for each Major. After completing 30 credits, but before completing 60 credits, students will be required to meet with the BSc Advisor mailto:padkin@tru.ca and declare a Major. The BSc Advisor will assist each student in selecting 3000-4000 level courses to meet the graduation requirements for each Major. Computing Science students will meet with the Computing Science Advisor prior to meeting the BSc Advisor for course planning. These are the minimum requirements. Several major programs recommend courses with more stringent prerequisite requirements. Prospective students should become familiar with the course requirements for their intended major and consult the individual course descriptions for specific prerequisite requirements. Students may upgrade their prerequisites while enrolled in the Bachelor of Science program. 146 Lower Level Requirements (1000- and 2000-level courses) General Science Degree Program Students in the B.Sc. in General Science must take (or have taken) 6 TRU credits of 1000 level mathematics (calculus) and three credits of 1000 level introductory courses in each of chemistry, computing science, physics, and either biology or geology in their first two years. The specific courses that are acceptable are listed under “Graduation Requirements”. Students must also take 6 additional TRU science credits from any area of science (astronomy, biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, physical geography, physics, statistics) during their first two years. In addition, students must ensure that they obtain first year prerequisites for all second year courses they will require. The General Science program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, gives students an education in science that is broader than the Majors program, but still rigorous. The program offers students the opportunity to specialize at the upper level (third and fourth years) in two or more of the areas of biology, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematical and computing science (mathematics, computing science and statistics), and physics. The goal of the General Science Degree Program is to give flexibility for graduates in the choice of career opportunities. Graduates should be particularly well prepared to enter a B.Ed. Secondary Program to qualify for teaching in B.C. secondary schools. The degree can be used as the basis for entry into graduate school in some subjects; while for others further qualifying studies may be required. The courses available in the General Science Program also meet the course requirements for entry into the Faculty of Dentistry and the Faculty of Medicine at UBC and most other universities offering these programs, as well as the Veterinary Medicine program at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan and the Pre-Veterinary year at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. Completion of these course requirements does not guarantee admission to these programs. Specific university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for these programs. During the first two years at least six credits of English must also be completed. (Students who do not achieve a high level of performance in their first English course will be required to complete 9 credits of English.) The General Science program requires careful planning by the student. Students must ensure that during their second year they complete the prerequisites to the upper level (3000- and 4000-level) courses they plan to take in subsequent years. Failure to do so may result in more than four years being required to complete their degree. Students with sufficiently high standing may, with special permission from the B.Sc. Advisor, enrol in a limited number of upper level courses prior to admission to third year. Normally, this may not exceed 6 upper level credits. These will count toward the 48 credits of upper level courses required for graduation. The Bachelor of Science Degree in General Science also serves as excellent preparation for students planning to enter programs in Law and in Business Administration (M.B.A.). Major Program Course Requirements for the General Science Program The Bachelor of Science (BSc) Major program is intended for students wishing to specialize in a single field of science. This may lead to graduate study if a sufficiently high standing is obtained. Completion of the Bachelor of Science Degree in General Science requires the completion of 120 TRU credits of course work. Normally 30 credits are taken each year for a period of four years. Completion of the degree on a part-time basis is also possible. A detailed description of course requirements is found later under 'Graduation Requirements'. The courses available in the BSc Major program also meet the course requirements for entry into a variety of professional programs such as: The Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Rehabilitation Sciences at UBC and most other universities offering similar programs Upper Level Requirements (3000- and 4000-level courses) There are two alternative routes to degree completion in the General Science program, both of which require completion of a minimum of 48 TRU credits of upper level courses. Of these upper level courses, a minimum of 30 credits or 36 credits, depending upon the alternative chosen, must be in upper level science courses (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics, physics, and statistics), with the remaining upper level courses chosen from science (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics, physics, statistics) or arts courses. The Veterinary Medicine program at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan The Pre-veterinary year at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph The Optometry program in the School of Optometry at the University of Waterloo Alternatives The Chiropractic program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College 1. Completion of 18 upper level credits in each of two areas (chosen from biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics and statistics, physics). This alternative is particularly recommended for students planning to qualify to teach in B.C. secondary schools. The Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as similar programs at other institutions in Canada and the United States. Completion of these course requirements does not guarantee admission to these programs. Specific university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for these programs. 2. Completion of at least 18 upper level credits in one of the six areas (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics and statistics, physics) and at least 6 upper level credits in each of two other areas. Majors in the following areas are offered at TRU: Animal Biology, Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology, Ecology and Environmental Biology, Biology, Chemical Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Computing Science and Mathematics, Environmental Chemistry, Mathematics, Mathematical Sciences and Physics. Students wishing to enter a Major Program in these areas should meet with the B.Sc. Advisor for further information. Students who successfully complete the B.Sc. General Science degree program will have the subject area or areas, in which 18 or more TRU credits of upper level science courses were completed, recorded on their transcript. 147 Students wishing to include a broader range of courses in a Major Program may be able to proceed in a BSc Major program at TRU by completing as many of their course requirements as possible at TRU, and completing any remaining course requirements (to a maximum of 30 credits) at another university as a 'visiting student.' A Letter of Permission from TRU is required for 'visiting student' status. COMP 2230 Data Structures, Algorithm Analysis and Program Design COMP 3520 Software Engineering COMP 3540 Web Design and Programming COMP 3610 Database Systems One of: Major Program With a Minor Students in the BSc Major Program may also complete a Minor in a discipline or disciplines outside their major. This allows the student to acquire extensive experience in an area outside the discipline of their Major, and to identify this experience as a component of their degree on their transcript. COMP 3260 Internet and Security Issues COMP 3270 Computer Networks COMP 4250 COMP at the 3000/4000 level Computer Network Administration At least 2 other courses Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development The Minor in Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development requires the completion of 12 credits of upper level courses from the list below. A student may pursue a Minor in either another area of Science (Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Mathematics and Statistics, or Physics) or in a discipline within the Arts for which sufficient upper level (3000 and 4000 level) courses are available. TRU Course Title A Minor in Management is available to students in the BSc Major program also Environmental Economics and Sustainability. ECON 3410 The Economics of Climate Change ECON 3690 Community Economic Development A Cross Disciplinary Minor in Archaeology and Geology (Geoarchaeology) is available to students in the B.Sc. program. ECON 3700 Cost Benefit Analysis for Project Evaluation ECON 3710 Environmental Economics A Minor requires the completion of at least 30 credits and no more that 42 credits in the area of the Minor. At least 18 of these credits must be at the upper level. No more than three of the required upper level credits can be the same for both the Major and the Minor. In addition to this, Minors in some disciplines have more specific requirements. A Minor in Chemistry requires that at least one of the upper level credits is in a laboratory course. ECON 3990 *Special Topics in Economics ECON 3730 Forestry Economics ECON 3740 Land Use ECON 4720 Sustainable Economic Development ECON 4990 *Special Topics in Economics *Note: The ECON 3990 and 4990 can be used only if special topics covered are related to the minor. The chairs/program advisor with consultation will make this decision. A Minor in Archaeology and Geology must include: 1. 3 credits in first or second year Archaeology from; ANTH 1110 or ANTH 1190 or ANTH 2190 Students taking a Major in Mathematical Sciences cannot take a Minor in Computing Science. 2. 9 credits in third and fourth year Archaeology from; ANTH 3050, ANTH 3060, ANTH 3260, ANTH 4110, ANTH 4200, ANTH 4330 Specific requirements for Minors programs in the Arts disciplines are detailed in the Bachelor of Arts Degree Program section of the calendar. Students intending to complete a Minor in one of these disciplines are advised to consult the B.A. Advisor. 3. GEOL 1110 or GEOG 1120 Students considering a Minor must plan their program very carefully and should complete during their first two years any lower level (1000 and 2000 level) prerequisites required for the upper level courses they plan to take in the field of their Minor. In most cases the completion of a Major and a Minor will require the completion of more than 48 upper level credits and may, depending upon what lower level courses are taken, require the completion of more than a total of 120 credits for graduation. 4. GEOL 2050 or BIOL 1210 and GEOL 2290 5. 9 credits in third and fourth year Geology from; GEOL 3010, GEOL 3030, GEOL 3190, GEOL 4250, GEOL 4480 A Minor in Management must include the following courses: MATH 1240 Calculus 2 STAT 2000 or PSYC 2100 or BUEC 2320 or BIOL 3000 or SOCI 371 BBUS 2210 Introduction to Statistics BBUS 2720 BBUS 3120 Analysis of Psychological Data Double Major Program Economics and Business Statistics 1 Students in the B.Sc. program may complete Majors in two Science disciplines. (For example, Biology and Chemistry, Chemistry and Physics, Computing Science and Mathematics, Mathematics and Physics, etc.) A Double Major is not permitted in Mathematics and Mathematical Science since the amount of overlap in required courses in these two Majors is too great. A Double Major requires the completion of all the specific requirements for each Major and no more than six (6) of the required upper level credits can be the same for the two Majors. The completion of a Double Major will normally require five years (10 semesters) of study rather than the four years (8 semesters) required for a Major. Students wishing to plan a Double Major program should meet with the B.Sc. Advisor for further information. Double Degrees (see attached). Biometrics Introduction to Social Statistics Financial Accounting Organizational Behaviour Introduction to Financial Management BBUS 3430 Introduction to Marketing BBUS 3810 Introduction to Human Resource Management One additional 3000/4000 BBUS course One additional 3000/4000 BBUS course One additional 3000/4000 BBUS course A minor in Computing Science must include the following courses: COMP 1130 COMP 1230 Computer Programming 1 Computer Programming 2 COMP 1390 Discrete Structures 2 148 Students in the BSc program interested in study in a non-science area beyond the scope of a Minor may pursue a double degree and be awarded a degree in the second area in addition to the BSc (e.g. BSc and BA or BSc and BBA). Students must complete a minimum of 30 extra credits for the second degree and must meet the normal requirements in respect to courses and the number of credits of each program. Students are encouraged to declare, as early as possible, their intention to do a double program so that appropriate planning may be done. Electives Course Requirements for a Major Program Completion of a Bachelor of Science Major Degree requires the completion of 120 TRU credits of course work. Normally 30 credits are taken each year for a period of four years. Completion of the degree on a part-time basis is also possible.

Biology Programs The Biology program offers students numerous opportunities to engage in research during their BSc. These include lab and field based projects within program courses as well as independent research projects and collaborations with faculty members as part of a Directed Studies option, Honours Thesis, or through student research grants. Approximately 50 students graduate each year from TRU with a Major in Biology. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, physiotherapy, optometry, pharmacy, medical genetics, biotechnology, microbiology, forensics, veterinary medicine, wildlife biology, conservation and land management, elementary and high school teaching, and numerous other fields. Also, many students have progressed to master's and doctoral programs, and our students regularly win prestigious national scholarships. 6 credits Second Year BIOL 2130/2340 6 credits BIOL 2170 and 2290 6 credits BIOL 2160 or 2280 3 credits BIOL 2300 1 credit 3 credits of COMP chosen from COMP 1000, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1 1040, 1050, 1070, 1080,1090, 1130 or 1150 3 credits CHEM 2120/2220 6 credits 3 6 credits BIOL 2160 or 2280 (not taken in 2nd year) 3 credits BIOL 3000 3 credits BIOL 3030 3 credits BIOL 3130/3350 6 credits BIOL 3540/3550 6 credits BIOL 4130 or 4140 3 credits Animal Biology Electives Electives Major In Animal Biology Major in Animal Biology - for students first registered prior to September 2010.

Computing Science has ties to electrical engineering, mathematics, and business. Computers have profoundly affected many areas: engineering, physics, chemistry, biology,statistics, management and business are only a few examples. Because most introductory Computing Science courses focus on programming, many students equate Computing Science with computer programming. However, although programming is obviously an important part of Computing Science, in some ways it is little more than a tool in the Computer Scientist's intellectual toolbox and is a part of Computing Science in a similar manner as a knowledge of English grammar is a part of writing novels. Many Computer Scientists prefer to call the field Computing Science, because it focuses on the process of computing rather than on computer hardware. 4740 Expert Systems 4750 Neural Networks 4980 Current Topics in CS (if approved by Program Coordinator) 4.

These credits may NOT include BIOL 1040, BIOL 1050, BIOL 1090, BIOL 3600, CHEM 1310, MATH 1000, MATH 1080, MATH 1100, MATH 1420, MATH 1900, PHYS 1130, any Physical Education activity courses or any non-academic courses. If in doubt, students should contact an academic advisor or the B.Sc. Advisor. Remedial courses with course numbers less than 1000 are also excluded. Program Planning Students should begin planning their upper level course programs no later than at the start of their second year. This is particularly important in those Major programs in which there is little flexibility in course selection. Although the General Science program allows the student a good deal of flexibility in course selection, it is very important that students pay close attention to the prerequisite requirements of various courses. Failure to do so may severely limit the courses students are able to enrol in during any one year. Students are strongly advised to consult with a TRU Academic Advisor or the B.Sc. Advisor to assist them with their program planning. 2. At least 72 credits in Science disciplines (Astronomy (excluding ASTR 1130, 1140 and 1150), Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Forestry, Geology, Mathematics, Natural Resource Science, Physical Geography, Physics or Statistics). Application Deadline Entry into Year 3 3. At least 18 credits in courses outside of Science including at least 6 credits of English and 9 to 12 credits in at least two disciplines other than English. These credits may include no more than 3 credits from one of STSS 1000 or EDCP 1010. Students planning to take either of these courses must do so during their first or second year. Students currently registered in Science at TRU will automatically be admitted to the third year of the degree program once they have met the requirements listed below. Students new to TRU or attending TRU outside of the Sciences Program must submit applications for admission to the third year of the B.Sc. program in either Major program(s) or the General Science program to the Admissions Department at TRU on or before April 15. These students will then receive written notice of their admission status. Students accepted into the program will then be required to select their courses for the upcoming year in consultation with the B.Sc. Advisor. 4. Specific lower level requirements: a. 24 (or 27*) credits of introductory science including: • 6 credits in Mathematics (MATH 1130/1230, MATH 1140/1240 or MATH 1150/1250) • 3 credits of Chemistry (CHEM 1500) • 3 credits of Physics (PHYS 1100 or PHYS 1150) • 3 credits of Computing Science Late applications will be considered only if space is available. Limitation Of Enrolment It may be necessary to limit enrolment in certain courses if the demand is greater than the resources available. When limitations in enrolments become necessary, admission to 3000 and 4000 level year courses will be selective with students having the highest overall grade point averages, and students requiring specific courses for graduation, being given preference. 3 credits of Biology (BIOL 1110 or BIOL 1210) or Academic Requirements: Entry Into Year 3 A minimum grade point average of 2.0 for all previous university credit courses attempted. • 3 credits of Geology (GEOL 1110 or GEOL 2050) • 6 (or 9*) other credits of introductory science as required for a student’s Major or area of concentration.

Full-time or Part-time Study On-Campus The degree program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. A selection of 1st and 2nd year courses is offered at the Williams Lake campus. Field trips associated with our courses are numerous and diverse, and may include visits to the Wells Gray Research Station, grassland, ecosystems, coastal and interior forest ecosystems, forest research stations, local ranches, a local sawmill, and a fish hatchery. Locations may changes from year to year. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in Fall, Winter or Summer semester. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education. Visit www.tru.ca/distance.html http://www.tru.ca/distance.html Co-operative Education Co-operative Education allows students to integrate academic studies with paid periods of relevant experience. Students alternate between periods of on-campus, full-time study, and work terms, which are fulltime, paid employment. Program Overview In a world where specialization is the norm in university training for careers in the natural resource professions, the demand from industry and government agencies is increasingly for professionals who are generalists. The BNRS program addresses this need by providing a course of study that is unique in its scope and purpose. The program consists of 120 credits which can be completed in four or five years on a full-time basis or up to seven years on a part-time basis. Securing a work term in the Co-op program is competitive and the number of positions available will depend on the number of participating employers. Students are not guaranteed a work term. Students must complete all registered first year courses, have a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to enter the NRS Co-op Option and must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to remain eligible for Co-op. The purpose of the BNRS degree program is to prepare students for careers in a wide range of natural resource sector jobs or for further academic study in graduate school. The program provides a unique combination of courses covering biology, ecology, scientific methods, and sector-specific resource management skills in a cooperative education format. Students learn problem solving, oral and written communication skills, and integration of various disciplines in both an independent and team environment.

Any university level credit course is acceptable as an elective, except those with equivalent content to core program courses. Selection of electives should be discussed with the Program Coordinator. Thesis Project The Honours program requires the completion of a thesis. The selection of the thesis project is the responsibility of the student and the thesis supervisor. The general criteria is that the thesis should present a piece of individual, original research that contributes to scientific knowledge. The student should work closely with the supervisor, and he or she should take the lead role in the collection and analysis of the data. Identification of the thesis project should be accomplished at the very latest by the end of September, and a written Thesis Project Plan must be submitted to the student’s supervisor and the Honours Coordinator by the end of the sixth week of classes in September. Promotion Policy Promotion from year to year will require a minimum grade of C in all required NRSC, ENGL and BIOL courses. 164 The Thesis Examining Committee shall be composed of the Honours Program Coordinator, the thesis supervisor, and at least one other faculty member from TRU, or under special conditions, a scientist or authority from outside the TRU community. In cases where the Honours Program Coordinator also is the thesis supervisor, then an additional faculty member will be appointed to the committee. It is the responsibility of the student to approach faculty members regarding supervision for the thesis required in the Honours program. Department faculty will be under no formal obligation to supervise Honours students, and faculty may supervise no more than two Honours students at a time. Thus, neither the Department of Natural Resource Sciences nor Thompson Rivers University is obliged to identify a supervisor, even in the event that the student meets the academic criteria needed for entry into the Honours Program. A form listing the tentative title of the thesis and the Thesis Examining Committee must be submitted to the Honours Program Coordinator before the end of the Fall semester. Thesis supervision by scientists external to the Department of Natural Resource Sciences may be permitted under certain conditions. The first step will be a letter submitted to the Department, by the student, outlining the proposed research and the credentials of the proposed supervisor. Consideration of the proposed external supervisor will be made jointly by the full-time department faculty, and decisions will be final. The faculty may request a letter and CV from the potential supervisor, in order to ensure he or she possesses the necessary credentials, and that he or she recognizes the responsibility associated with the supervision of an Honours thesis.

Although the primary transfer paths have been to UBC and UVic, transfers elsewhere are also possible. In B.C. and Alberta, the following universities offer Bachelors degree programs in engineering disciplines to which TRU transfer is possible: Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria and the University of Alberta. While transfer is simplest to BC universities, transfer outside the province is possible to various extents as described below. Admission to the engineering faculty at any university is competitive, and reaching the minimum required standard is no guarantee of entry. Selection depends on academic performance. All applicants interested in obtaining an engineering degree are strongly recommended to consult current university calendars to familiarize themselves with the programs available. TRU’s major engineering transfer pathways have been to UBC and UVIC. However TRU Engineering students have also successfully transferred to Engineering programs at SFU and some universities outside the province. UBC and UVic consider engineering transfer programs such as TRU’s as making significant contributions to the completion of engineering degrees in BC. Engineering transfer programs are recognized as a desirable means of beginning engineering degree studies. Small class sizes and the strong teaching focus typical of engineering transfer programs offer the potential for increased student success. Students may enter the TRU first year Engineering transfer program directly from Grade 12 or following a year or more of Science studies or other relevant studies. University of British Columbia University of Victoria The Faculty of Applied Science at UBC offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science degree (BASc.) in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Computer, Geological, Integrated, Mechanical, Metals and Materials, Mining and Mineral Process Engineering, and Engineering Physics. The first year of engineering studies is common to all disciplines. A cooperative education option is available to students in the UBC Engineering program. Entry into the co-op program is competitive, but many TRU transfer students have successfully pursued this option. The Faculty of Engineering at UVic offers fully co-operative Bachelor of Science degree programs in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechantronics Engineering, and various joint options with other academic departments. Transfer from TRU into these programs has been successful for students with sufficiently high GPA in the first year Engineering program at TRU. Interested students should contact the TRU Engineering Transfer Program Coordinator. 178 Simon Fraser University The School of Engineering Science at SFU offers an undergraduate degree with concentrations in Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Engineering Physics, or Systems Engineering.

Admission Requirements A selective admission process is used to determine admission to year one of the Respiratory Therapy Diploma Program. Criteria for the selective process will be made available to applicants. Since there are a limited number of seats available in this program applications should be submitted early. It is important to complete all aspects of your application. Program Overview TRU is the only educational institution in British Columbia to offer a program in Respiratory Therapy (RT). The program is accredited by the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists. Minimum Criteria for Admission 1. Educational Requirements (These credits must normally have been obtained within five years of application) Following completion of studies at TRU campus, the student completes an 11 month clinical internship at hospitals affiliated with TRU. The clinical year begins in early June, with students spending time at various hospitals gaining exposure to all aspects of the duties of a Respiratory Therapist. Clinical year students will rotate between hospitals in the Interior, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Applicants must be prepared to relocate as required. Specific rotations cannot be guaranteed. Following successful completion of the diploma program the graduate is eligible to sit the National Certification Examination which grants the professional qualification of R.R.T. (Registered Respiratory Therapist). The Fast-track option is also unique to the Respiratory Therapy program at TRU. This option gives recognition to a student’s BSc and allows the student to complete the RT diploma within 2 years (1 academic year and 1 clinical year). Another unique and new option to the TRU-RT program is the possibility of obtaining a joint RT Diploma and Masters in Education degree within 3 years. This option is open to students who already have a BSc degree and would normally qualify for the Fast-track RT stream. Students would divide their RT courses and M.Ed. courses over 4 semesters (2 years) followed by a clinical year. There is limited space for this option. a. B.C. Grade 12 Graduation with a C+ minimum average or equivalent. b. B.C. Foundations of Math 12* (preferred) or Pre-calculus 12*, or MATH 0600 and 0610, or equivalent with a C+ minimum grade. c. B.C.

Criminal Record Check RT applicants are required to undergo a criminal record check after they have been admitted to the program. A Criminal Record Check consent form is sent to applicants who are admitted to the program. TRU will initiate an on-line criminal record check request through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General on behalf of the students. Students will be charged a $20 criminal records check fee along with their commitment fee. 184 The year can be divided into three main areas of practice: Promotion Policy 1. Diagnostics, which will include blood gas analysis, pulmonary function, electrocardiography, stress testing, bronchoscopy. An overall grade of C and a minimum mark of 50% on the final exam is required for a passing grade in each Respiratory course, PHYS 1580 and BIOL 1590/1690. Since the 50% required on final exams is already 10% below the overall mark required for a passing grade, there will be no leniency granted in cases where less than 50% is obtained on a final exam. Since the pass requirement for all science and RESP courses in the Respiratory Therapy Program is a minimum C, a grade of less than C is a failure in those courses. A student must successfully complete all courses in order to continue on to the next semester. 2. Therapy, which will include medical surgical rotation, paediatrics and nursery, and Respiratory Therapy Department. 3. Critical Care, which will include adult and neonatal intensive care, operating room and anesthesia, and coronary care. Students must pass the theory course with an overall grade of 60% or better and a minimum mark of 50% on the final exam. Since the 50% required on a final exam is already 10% below the overall mark required for a passing grade, there will be no leniency granted in cases where less than 50% is obtained on a final exam. Students may be allowed to continue on a probationary basis if the student is granted academic probation. Students may be allowed to continue on a probationary basis if the student is granted academic probation. A student will be allowed to continue on in the program under academic probation when he/she attains a grade of C- in any one RESP or science course during a semester as long as a passing grade is achieved in all other courses in that semester. If a student fails to meet the pass mark in two or more courses during one semester they will fail, and be withdrawn from the program. Academic probation will not be granted two semesters in a row. If a student fails a course while on academic probation, they will not be granted probation and will be removed from the program. The student will work the equivalent of 150 hours each month, and may be assigned shift work. Clinical training involves rotation between the accredited hospitals, and these rotations may be either: • • • Graduation from the three-year program requires that the student acquire an overall grade point average of 2.17. The graduate will receive a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. The diploma does not qualify the student to undertake employment as a registered respiratory therapist, but designates the student as a graduate therapist who is eligible to write the board examination. Interior - Vancouver or Vancouver - Interior Vancouver – Vancouver Vancouver – Victoria or Victoria – Vancouver Third Year Applicants should be aware that the Respiratory Therapy Program is academically rigorous with a heavier than average course load in all semesters. In order to be successful in the program, students must be willing to dedicate a significant amount of time to their studies.

Mountain Guide Program Overview Mountain Guides are trained and certified for all types of climbing and skiing terrain. This stream of study requires completion of the Ski Guide and Alpine Guide certifications as well as related theory courses. In 1996, TRU began to assist the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) with delivering the ACMG Training and Certification program. The result of this collaboration is the evolution of the original ACMG program into the unique Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide Program at TRU. Industry Certification Several certification options are offered separate from, or as part of the CMSG diploma. Supervision and scope of practice guidelines apply to each certification. Students should contact the ACMG for the most recent guidelines. The Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide (CMSG) Program enables students to pursue certification to the standards of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) and be recognized by the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IMFGA); IMFGA mountain guides attain the highest level of mountain training and certification in the world and are recognized in 19 countries worldwide. • • • • • • • • • • The Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide Diploma is a 60-credit program with activity, theory, elective and work experience courses. Most participants will attend on a part-time basis, completing the Diploma in four- to five-years. Alternatively students may focus solely on guide certifications without completing the diploma, Note: Please contact the Adventure Studies Department mailto:cmsg@tru.ca at 250-371-5838 for more information on certification.

Learning Experiences Retail Meat Processing Certificate Program Productivity A nine-month program. Graduates receive a Retail Meat Processing Certificate. The program places great emphasis on preparing students to meet the high standards and productivity level demanded by the industry. Students in every phase of the program are given varied work assignments and increased cutting responsibilities that match their growth in skill. Learning Options Full-time Study Practical Work Experience The program is offered on a full-time basis. During the program, students will be required to undertake two threeweek work practica at two different locations to gain industry experience. The instructor helps arrange this in collaboration with businesses throughout British Columbia while the other students continue with cutting activities, sausage manufacturing and theory portions of the program in preparation for their own field work. On-Campus The program is offered at the Kamloops campus. Program Start Date End of August Program Overview Students from outside of the immediate Kamloops area are encouraged to complete practica in their home communities. The TRU Retail Meat Processing Program has been in operation since 1975 and is the only program offering this training in British Columbia. The current program is nine months of diversified full-time training. The 13 comprehensive courses that make up the program complement each other and challenge students in hand-eye coordination, safety, industry related math, and species and retail product recognition to Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) standards. Team work and selfmotivation, as well as strict sanitation procedures are important components of all courses. A strong emphasis is placed on student attendance, punctuality, dress code, and professional conduct. Personalized knife skills and machine safety training are also integral to the program. Careers The program provides students with a very comprehensive base of skills and training which makes them directly and immediately employable. Many graduates of the program are now successful meat sector cutters or meat managers in supermarkets or smaller meat stores. Other graduates have gone on to careers in the Federal Meat Inspection area or have successfully started their own businesses. Students graduating from the Meat Cutter/Retail Meat Processing program are able to seek apprenticeships with employers. Once a company or operator agrees to the apprenticeship the student can then apply to the Industry Training Authority (ITA) for a training credit for the nine months completed at TRU. This credit goes towards Level I training. Students work hands-on (85%) with all four domestic animal species beef, pork, lamb, and poultry - in both carcass and block ready form. Additionally, students are trained to work with most major game species during the fall semester. Find out more about apprenticeship http://www.apprenticetrades.ca and trades certification http://www.itabc.ca.

The world of sports is often seen as a microcosm of society because it has included some of the greatest in human achievement and some of the worst in human behaviour, plus everything in between. Perhaps that is why sports writing runs the gamut from the best and the worst - in journalism. Often derided by news reporters as the "toy department" of newspapers, sports sections have nonetheless expanded in size and popularity as the market-driven imperatives of modern media corporations have reflected heightened public interest in and promotion of professional sports. This course will examine sports writing in theory and practice not only as a reflection of modern culture, but also as an integral part of media marketing. Students will both analyze sports reporting and do their own writing in this genre. Prerequisite: Entry into the Journalism Program or permission of the instructor JOUR 4150 Popular Science, Nature, and Technology Writing (2,1,0) 3 credits Science and nature writing has been a popular genre with a mainstream audience from the time that Charles Darwin's book The Voyage of the Beagle was a bestseller in Victorian England. This genre increased its appeal with the rise of the magazine and the cheap paperback book, and it was perfected as a popular style with magazines like Discover. This course examines the style and strategy of writing that turns esoteric, technical information from the sciences into an engaging colloquial form with a lively narrative for the non-expert. Students in this course will produce their own science, nature, or technology writing for a typical mainstream publication. Prerequisite: Admission into the Journalism program, or the BA Major in Communication, or permission of the Chair JOUR 4270 Investigative Journalism (2,2,0) 3 credits In this course, students will learn, develop and practice investigative skills and produce investigative articles.

Students will be required to submit (and where necessary, revise and re-submit) their work for publication. They will be encouraged to keep a writing log and to treat the course as a kind of self-directed study with a collaborative edge. The point of the course is twofold: to refine and strengthen the individual's sense of writing self (especially in order to facilitate the charting of a freelance career) and to provide a solid introduction to the business of professional freelance writing. Prerequisite: Entry into the Journalism Program or permission of the instructor JOUR 4580 Alternative Media (2,1,0) 3 credits This course examines the history and development of alternative media from the underground newspapers of the 1960s through the alternative press that grew up in its wake (into the now-familiar “entertainment rags” of most sizeable North American cities) to a final survey of the dizzying profusion of so-called alternatives (zines, indymedia sites, blogs, and the like) available – indeed, ever multiplying – in the current electronic environment and information era. The purpose of such examination is twofold: to instil in aspiring journalists a critical and historical awareness of media forms (and their relation to content) and to foster understanding of the important role of that journalists play in the push-and-pull of public discourse. Prerequisite: Entry into the Journalism Program or permission of the instructor JOUR 4220 Beat Reporting: Arts and Culture (2,2,0) 3 credits An overview of arts and entertainment coverage, with particular emphasis on practical writing skills, from the perspective of a reporter working in the field.

There will be monthly field trips with assigned coverage and guest speakers to provide community and professional insight. Prerequisite: Entry into the Journalism Program or permission of the instructor JOUR 4590 Outlaw Journalists (2,1,0) 3 credits Journalism has a strong tradition of outlaw writers who break the conventions of society and of journalism. These writers do that through style and content and through the way they practise the craft of writing. Some of these journalists found an audience that allowed them to rebel from inside newspapers and the publishing industry, and others are outcasts who used the craft of writing to rage against their circumstances. The effect of these writers has been so strong that they have altered the path of journalism and made changes in both society and writing. Prerequisite: Entry into the Journalism Program or permission of the instructor JOUR 4230 Beat Reporting: Business and Economics (2,2,0) 3 credits The economic health of a country determines everything from the quality of life to the political system. Financial news can be as dramatic as a major corporate scandal or as pragmatic as the number of new homes built in a town. Reporters who can understand and interpret financial news have become much in demand in recent years. Thanks to scandals such as those involving big names such as Lord (Conrad) Black and Martha Stewart, business journalism has become one of the sexiest fields in journalism today. This course explores the dynamic field of financial journalism. It will cover the topics and terms of business journalism. It will expose students to the various types of financial journals and give them a broad perspective on different publications, broadcast operations and web-based sites that cover business.

Prerequisite: Completion of JOUR 2800 and JOUR 3800, admission to the Journalism program, or the BA, Major in Communication, or permission of the Department Chair Crime reporting is like ancient Greek tragedy: it brings together the hot issues that continue to fascinate humanity about justice, fairness, depraved schemes, random victimization, and the means society uses to deal with the problem of deviance and criminal behaviour. This course will examine crime writing in theory and practice as a modern version of Greek tragedy and a pillar of mainstream writing. It will look at how culture and style affect crime stories and examine theories of criminal behaviour. Students will both analyze crime reporting and do their own writing in this genre. This course will examine the writing of modern crime journalists to help understand different methods of researching and structuring stories about crime and justice in the context of modern culture and society. Students will learn how to write stories involving police, the court system, the prison system, felons and victims, and grapple with the limitations of crime writing, according to taste, different types of publications, and the law. Part of the course will involve attending local court cases and doing deadline writing.
