For details on colleges and degrees where Dual Admissions options are available visit www.tru.ca/admissions/apply/dual.

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 1. For each course taken the grade point value of the mark is multiplied by the credit value of that course. 2.

The GPA is calculated only on courses taken for credit. Digits The 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 usually begin with a “2”. Similarly, courses beginning with a “3” are third-year courses, and courses beginning with a “4” are fourth-year courses. 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 TRUOL. Students should contact the Registrar's office to ensure GPA has been recalculated. The second and third digits further define a course. The fourth digit indicates whether it is a campus course or an Open Learning course; Even numbers are for campus courses, and odd numbers are for Open Learning courses. Vectoring (Hours of Instruction) The brackets (3, 1, 3) indicate the weekly hours of contact 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.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Tourism Management (BTM) degree. Learning Options Full-time or Part-time Study Full or part-time study is available. On-Campus Offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education and may be transferred in as part of the degree. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in the fall, winter, or summer semesters. Program Overview TRU’s Bachelor of Tourism Management (BTM) has the distinction of being the first tourism degree in British Columbia and has grown to offer more specialty focus areas than any other tourism degree in Canada. This is a forward thinking, innovative, and engaging degree for students who are looking to become leaders and managers in the international experience economy. The degree was developed with the participation and input of our partners in education: industry, students and alumni. It reflects the current and emerging realities of this dynamic field and is constantly evolving in order to better serve both our students' needs and emerging industry challenges. The BTM is delivered by a team of talented and innovative faculty who work with students who are motivated and eager to take on the challenges facing tourism in the new millennium. Courses provide a blend of theory and practice. Assignments introduce students to current management issues with local, regional, national and international tourism businesses and organizations. These assignments are designed to give students the skills and confidence to develop their own tourism businesses and/or fill the growing need for managers in the tourism industry. Students with a CGPA of 3.0 or better can apply to the honours program upon completion of year 2 of the BTM. Students will be admitted to the honours program in year 3 and must maintain a CGPA of 3.0 or better with no grade lower than B- in order to remain in the honours program. Learning Experiences • All students are required to complete a minimum of 500 hours of tourism-related work experience to integrate theory with field application. • Students work in partnership with various communities via the BTM. This provides value to our students by including applied field assignments, as well as the opportunity to give back to local communities by linking them to the developing expertise of our students. • Up to six credits of course work can be achieved via co-operative education. • Students are able to access a number of international opportunities, including study abroad, field school programs and double degrees with partner institutions abroad. International Opportunities There are increasing numbers of international students in the program, and a growing number of international opportunities for meeting degree requirements including study abroad, international co-op, field schools and double degrees with international partner universities. The program works closely with the TRU Study Abroad Office and is actively engaged in developing partnerships with universities worldwide. (www.truworld.ca/studyabroad) Field schools are established in various locations around the world that enable students to study on location to integrate practical and theoretical learning. As part of completing their certificate or diploma requirements, students may also pursue a valuable Global Competency credential. (www.tru.ca/learning/students/pathways-toolkit/global) Co-operative Education In order to meet all requirements for graduation, students must have a minimum of 500 hours (12-14 weeks) documented, relevant work experience supported by industry references indicating capable performance. If this requirement is not met upon admission, it must be completed prior to starting year four of the BTM. Students have the option of completing this requirement via two co-op work terms as part of their studies in the BTM. Co-operative Education is the integration of academic studies with paid work terms related to the student's studies. Students receive 6 lower level elective credits for completing two work terms. Each co-op work term for the BTM is four months in length and can be completed in a number of ways. The model below is the most common way to complete the two co-op work terms. Students will apply to coop in September or January and will work with the Tourism Co-op Coordinator to make this experience as rewarding as possible. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credits prior to the first work term with a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to enter the BTM co-op option and must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to remain eligible for co-op. Sample BTM Co-op Time Pattern (Two Co-op Work Terms Required) Sept.-Dec. Jan.-Apr. May-Aug.

Students may wish to consult the BC Transfer Guide for information on transferability of credits and to find out if particular courses will transfer to TRU at bctransferguide.ca It is common for students to enter the BTM in third year after completing a second year tourism or business-related diploma. The program is designed to accommodate these students, as well as students entering in first or second year. A maximum of fifty percent of the program credit requirements can be fulfilled by transfer credit. Transfer Agreements As most of the tourism programs within British Columbia have a core curriculum, transfer between these programs occur with ease. Here are some of our articulated transfer agreements with schools outside of the province: • • • • Algonquin College: Outdoor Adventure Diploma (Ontario) Grant McEwan University: Travel Program (Alberta) Lakeland College: Adventure Tourism & Outdoor Recreation Diploma (Alberta) Queenstown Resort College – Diploma of Adventure Tourism Management (New Zealand) Further queries about transfer agreements can be directed to the Program Coordinator. Laddering Credit from Other Programs Many tourism and business based diplomas have been designed to "ladder" or internally transfer into the BTM. All of the TRU programs below have the ability to ladder as many as 60 credits towards the BTM (credits may vary depending on concentration/major selected by student): • • • • • • • • Adventure Sport Certificate Adventure Guide Diploma Adventure Management Diploma Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide Certification Program Events & Conventions Management Diploma Resort & Hotel Management Diploma Sport Event Management Diploma Tourism Management Diploma Program Policies In addition to meeting TRU’s residency policy, a least 50% of courses at the 3000 and 4000 level must be completed at TRU in order to earn a TRU BTM degree. Exemptions to this policy may be granted in advance to students involved in academic exchanges with other post-secondary institutions. To remain in the BTM program after admission: • • • students must maintain a cumulative CGPA of at least 2.0 calculated using BTM courses only students cannot repeat a course more than twice students failing to meet the CGPA requirements will be placed on a learning contract Advancement into third year of the TRU BTM requires a minimum CGPA of 2.0 (BTM courses only).

Those who complete the apprenticeship earn the status of Journeyperson Cook. TRU offers Professional Cook 3 training based on sufficient student demand. Contact Ed Walker by email (ewalker@tru.ca) for more information. In lieu of the apprenticeship program cooks may choose to work 9000 hours for 4½ years in the industry and challenge the Certificate of Qualification (Red Seal) examination. Further information on the apprenticeship program and trades certification can be found through the Industry Training Authority of BC see the ITA page at www.itabc.ca. Chef De Cuisine Journeyperson Cooks are eligible to become members of the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks (CFCC) and enrol in their study program to become a Certified Chef de Cuisine, who is generally the kitchen manager. You need to be a Journeyperson Cook for at least five years, and a CFCC member to enter their program. Evaluation Culinary Arts faculty evaluate students in two ways 1. Formative Formative evaluation is the feedback and advice instructors provide on a day to day basis, during and after class, in a group setting and in private consultation. Through this kind of evaluation the student receives direct and immediate feedback on their progress. Additionally, instructors keep records of student attendance, attitude and practical progress for future referencing. 2. Summative Summative evaluation determines a student’s final standing in the program. Each of the courses has a final mark and letter grade, which is determined by students completing quizzes, assignments, theory and practical exams. Grading Students must obtain 70% or a C average on each level and course. Final mark is determined by the following Theory Portion 25% Practical Evaluation 75% Academic Probation The program places emphasis on training students to industry standards. A large component of the program requires teamwork. A student may be placed on probation by the instructor or Department Chair for one or more of the following circumstances: • • • • • • • • frequent lateness cheating on exams absences without excuse failure to notify the instructor of absences and/or tardiness general untidiness and consistent disregard for the program rules and regulations failure to curb bad language, hostility and abusive actions abuse of alcohol or drugs consistent failure to complete practical assignments or weakness in theory The first stage is to notify the student verbally of problems that must be dealt with. If these problems persist the student and instructor will collaboratively develop a probation contract. The student will be monitored and failure to show significant improvement during the period of the contract may result in a dismissal.

Graduates receive a Retail Meat Processing Foundation Certificate. 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 self-motivation, 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. Learning Options Full-time Study The program is offered on a full-time basis. On-Campus The program is offered at the Kamloops campus. Program Start Date End of August 50 Personalized knife skills and machine safety training are also integral to the program. 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. Students are also able to participate in producing our very popular beef jerky and value-added product training. All students help to operate the very busy TRU Meat Store, learning business practices and important industry customer service skills. TRU's Retail Meat Processing Program provides a broad spectrum of training to ensure that graduates are offered many opportunities to expand their knowledge of this fascinating industry; this includes six weeks of practical industry work experience in two different locations anywhere in British Columbia. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in a one-week field trip to some of the largest and most advanced animal processing and sausage manufacturing plants in British Columbia and Alberta. To maintain the relevance of the program to provincial and local industry needs and standards, it is supported by an Advisory Committee with broad representation from the meat cutting industry. High School students enrolled in this type of hands-on program through the (CTC) Career Technical Centre do very well and are usually working full time by the end of their Grade 12 year. 1.

Program Contact Email cdavidson@tru.ca | Phone 250-371-5991 53 Faculty of Arts Bachelor of Arts Degree A four-year undergraduate degree program. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA). Learning Options Co-operative Education Full-time or Part-time Study full-time or part-time. A Co-operative Education work term is considered a three-credit elective. Each program has different requirements for the elective. Contact the BA program advisor for more information. On-Campus The degree program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. A selection of first and second year courses is offered at the Williams Lake campus. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in fall winter, or summer semester. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education. See the TRU Open Learning Courses web page for information at www.tru.ca/distance/courses. 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 Communications, Economics, Economic and Political Studies, English, Geography and Environmental Studies, History, Mathematics, Mathematics and Economics, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, and Theatre Arts allow students to focus specifically on courses in one area of study. Normally, 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. GPA Requirement: Advancement to year three of the TRU BA program requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (in exceptional circumstances students with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 but no lower than 1.95 will be conditionally registered in third year with the approval of the Dean of Arts.) Students normally enter at the beginning of the first year. Entry is also possible at the second or third year levels. Students may choose from two types of BA programs: the General BA (with a concentration or a Thematic Studies Option) and the Major BA (with or without a Minor). If you have any questions or require further information, contact the BA Program Advisor at baadvising@tru.ca. Service Learning 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. 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.) 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. Completion of Co-op 1000 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.

BA students may want to spend one or more semesters of study at another university. 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. Students may take six credits of service learning normally 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 community-based learning project completed individually or in groups of up to five students. 54 Admission Requirements Environmental Studies, Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology 1.

While a student’s area of concentration must be in an Arts discipline, any or all of the 3000-4000 level courses outside of the category of concentration may be in categories outside of Arts. Categories outside of Arts include: 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 prerequisites 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 (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 56 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. Contact information for all Major advisors can be found in the calendar, following the program’s description.

Major Program in 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. 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 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. These include: 1. evaluative and critical thinking (being able to analyze and comment on the work of others) 2. analytics (being able to use either deductive or mathematical reasoning to solve problems) 3. learning skills (the ability to meet goals, manage time, and complete a project successfully) 4. cooperation skills (the ability to cooperate with others and work in teams) 5. information technologies skills (the ability to use a number of systems and programs) 6. applications (being able to apply the tools of economic analysis to real-world problems) 7. effective oral and written communication skills (being able to write and speak with clarity) 8. creativity (being innovative in formulating and testing hypotheses about economic issues) 9. research skills (the ability to conduct research and organize material effectively) 10. decision making skills (the exercise of independent judgment and ethical decision-making) Emphasis will be placed on the application of the basic tools to policy areas. 57 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. 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. Graduation Requirements The Major in Economics program requires the completion of at least: growth, but also poverty, crime, pollution, health care, education, the environment, and many others areas.

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. 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. The English Department at TRU is exceptionally strong. Several of our faculty has 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. 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 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. Students have the opportunity of attending conferences, and can apply for CUEF funding. All of these activities reflect the dynamic creative nature of English studies at TRU.

Major Program in 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. History offers students the opportunity to develop skills that are invaluable in all fields of endeavor. 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. Admission Requirements Students usually declare their Major before the end of their second year of courses. All candidates must meet with Major Program Advisor who will assist with course selection and ensure that requirements are met.

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). 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 strongly involved in research. They have published papers in numerous mathematical and statistical journals and have made presentations at conferences in North America and abroad. Studying at TRU offers many advantages, including small class sizes and readily accessible instructors. Small class sizes enable our instructors to give students more individual attention than larger universities.

Philosophical questions are sometimes called the “Big Questions” because they deal with the most fundamental ways in which humanity connects with, and understands the world, and itself. These questions deal with ethics, knowledge, reality, beauty, existence, and more. Too, doing philosophy is something that requires training. Asking and answering these sorts of questions requires using reason, logic, and other argumentative and judicious skills. The philosophical exploration of the Big Questions produces a student highly skilled in problem solving, text analysis, writing, deciphering of difficult texts, and unparalleled analytical skills. Couple these skills with the classical and contemporary knowledge gained from some of the foremost thinkers in history and you have a commanding degree. Third and Fourth Year ECON Course Requirements ECON 3200 Third and Fourth Year Courses for the General Stream Major Program in Philosophy First and Second Year Course Requirements MATH 1130 MATH 1230 or MATH 1140 MATH 1240 MATH 1700 Note: If the General Stream is chosen, STAT 3060 will be a compulsory course to satisfy prerequisites. Students need to choose four (4) more courses from the General Stream section, other than STAT 3060. Analysis of Variance The Philosophy department at TRU offers a program of study that is well balanced between the traditional major covering all of the mainstays of classical to modern thought and the cutting edge philosophy that is emerging from new and evolving ideas. At the same time that our Major in Philosophy satisfies those students looking to study further in the discipline, it also interests those students with special interests looking for innovative courses. At TRU you can study Plato, Nietzsche, Locke, Descartes, and Quine, as well as topics such as Ethics and the Holocaust, Philosophy of Humour, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy of Rock Music. Admission 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. All students interested in declaring a Philosophy Major should meet with the Philosophy Major Advisor or the Philosophy Coordinator to ensure that they meet the lower-level (first and second year) requirements and to select the appropriate courses. Before students can declare a Major in Philosophy, they must have met the admission requirements for the BA. Alternatively, students may select the General Stream and take 5 (FIVE) out of the 9 (NINE) following courses: 63 LOWER-LEVEL PHILOSOPHY REQUIREMENTS - 12 required credits and 3 required elective credits, as follows: One of: PHIL 1010 PHIL 1020 PHIL 1100 Intro to PHIL Pre-Socratics to Hume Intro to PHIL 1784 to Present Intro to PHIL Problems and Themes PHIL 2010 or PHIL 2210 Intro to Ethics PHIL 2140 or PHIL 2150 Foundations of Philosophy: Knowledge PHIL 2220 Elementary Formal Logic Contemporary Moral Issues Foundations of Philosophy: Reality Admission Requirements Admission to the Psychology Major requires completion of PSYC 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. At the lower level students must take 1 more PHIL course UPPER-LEVEL PHILOSOPHY REQUIREMENTS – 12 required upper level credits and 18 required upper level elective credits, as follows: PHIL 3010 Ethics PHIL 3140 or PHIL 3150 The Rationalists PHIL 3160 or PHIL 3170 Modern European Philosophy PHIL 3500 or PHIL 3600 Metaphysics PHIL UpperLevel Elective Requirements At the upper level students must take 6 additional PHIL courses. Students can choose from available 3000 and 4000 level Philosophy courses 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.

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 and predicting human behaviour. Through clinical practice, psychology strives to help people to live more productive and fulfilling lives.

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. 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.

At TRU, we provide a training ground for practical application of theatre studies. Students become not only collaborative and analytical, they develop the creative tools and techniques necessary for the creation of theatre. Our areas of study include Acting, Voice, Technical Theatre, Design, Directing and History. The benefits of a Theatre Major are numerous in a job market that necessitates a prepared, confident and public persona. The quality of our education is most evidenced through our fully-mounted production season at TRU Actors Workshop Theatre. Studying at TRU The Theatre Arts program offers a variety of undergraduate courses designed for both the theatre specialist and the generalist. Providing training for over 25 years, the Theatre Major is the only program outside the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island region offering a full range of university-level theatre courses. The TRU Actors Workshop Theatre is the live stage element of TRU’s Visual & Performing Arts Department. Students enrolled in various acting and technical theatre courses have the opportunity to participate in several major productions each year, and may acquire credit through their performance and participation. The Theatre Arts program is committed to student artistic development. Dedicated Theatre students are eligible for several monetary awards at both junior and senior levels of study to encourage and reward technical and acting excellence. For more information on awards and bursaries, please contact the Financial Aid and Awards Office. Students can also take advantage of the on-campus TRU Drama & Theatre (TRUDAT) club that typically features original and alternative material performed in Theatre Program’s Black Box Theatre. Careers The Theatre Arts Major program provides students with the opportunity to explore the complete range of the theatrical process, including acting, directing, technical theatre, design, history and theory. The program is designed for students intending on continuing their theatrical careers as drama teachers, for those considering graduate studies in theatre, and for those students who desire further professional theatrical training. Admission Requirements Students apply to the Bachelor of Arts program. Students normally enter the Theatre Arts Major Program in their second year of studies. Before entering the program, students are required to meet with the Theatre Program Coordinator or a theatre faculty member for advising. Graduation Requirements Students must complete all of the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students must complete a minimum of 54 credits in Theatre Arts courses, of which a minimum of 30 credits must be at the third and fourth year level.

However, students should be aware that this option requires careful course planning and will normally involve taking additional courses in order to complete all of the basic BA requirements as well as the specific Major requirements for two subjects. To graduate with a Double Major, a student must include in the 120 credits required for the degree at least 42 credits in each of two disciplines. At least 30 credits in each discipline must be in courses numbered 3000 or above. Please consult the BA Advisor by email at BAAdvising@tru.ca if you intend to complete a Double Major. Major Program in Communication The Major in Communication is a cross-disciplinary program that draws its theoretical foundations from many sources, including Rhetoric, Semantics, Psychology, Sociology, Cultural and Critical Studies, and even Economics. It will apply those disciplinary concepts to the ways in which individuals and groups communicate with one another, persuade one another, or entertain one another. All the courses within the major will be taught from three perspectives: descriptions of communications processes, production (covering issues like composition, design, broadcasting, and policy/law), and criticism and critique. 66 The general aim of the Bachelor of Arts, Major in Communication, is to supply its students with the professional competencies and critical thinking perspectives necessary for diverse careers or graduate-level study in the field of communication. The Major in Communication delivers an inspiring curriculum that combines core knowledge in academic communication studies along with two streams in the areas of public relations and new media studies. In the Major in Communication degree, students will choose a focus in Communications and Public Relations or Communication and New Media Studies. Although there is some overlap in core courses, the two streams have different lower and upper level requirements. The Communication and Public Relations stream is designed for students interested in the practical and commercial application of communication. The Communication and New Media Studies stream will appeal to students interested in the aesthetic, narrative, and theoretical aspects of technology, as well as computer-mediated communication. The combination of academic communication studies with the focus on the key areas of public relations and new media distinguishes the Major in Communication program and ensures that it is unique among existing post-secondary programs in British Columbia. In order to allow students to target their experience within the Major, two streams will be offered: 1) JOUR 2020, 2060, 2200, 2210 PHIL 2240, 2380 Upper Level 36 credits Electives - UL 24 credits Recommended: CMNS 3020, 3500, 3510, 4610 COMP 4980 EDVP 4160 ENGL 3170, 4510 JOUR 3020, 3110, 3510, 4110, 4150, 4210 MKTG 4450, 4480 PHIL 3160, 3390 SOCI 3520, 4200 VISA 3130, 3730 All students should consult with the Major Program Advisor on course selection.

This allows students 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. To complete a Minor along with an Arts degree, a student must complete the required credits specified by a Minor Program description, including the credits required for their degree. Unless otherwise specified, the credit requirements are all that is necessary to complete a minor in any discipline in conjunction with a major. However, some disciplines have their own specific requirements for a minor in their area. Please consult the BA Advisor by email at BAAdvising@tru.ca if you intend to complete a minor.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Learning Options Full-time or part-time study Students may study full-time or part-time. On-Campus The degree is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in the fall, winter, or summer semesters. Program Overview The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Visual Arts is shaped around a core curriculum of Studio and Art History/Theory courses. There is also the option to pursue a program stream in Gallery Studies. The BFA degree encourages an interdisciplinary approach to learning which takes advantage of the many facets of the university community. A student completing the degree may pursue a variety of employment opportunities or further educational studies. Gallery Studies Students interested in Gallery Studies are able to take courses in and, if they choose, specialize in this area. Courses such as Gallery Management and Public Art provide the student with an understanding of gallery infrastructures and programming at the local, regional, national, and international levels, as well as the economic structure and impact of Arts communities. Other courses in curating and exhibition installation deal more specifically with the planning and implementing of exhibitions.

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 Communication and New Media, we recommend that students in the Bachelor of Journalism program select a range of courses, in particular those with depth in Canadian content, and several writingintensive courses. Careers in Journalism The Bachelor of Journalism degree prepares students for careers in journalism (working for newspapers, magazines, and online publications) and in the communications field (working in the media or public relations departments of government agencies, corporations, and non-profit and advocacy organizations). Students have the opportunity to work with an expert faculty of experienced journalists and state-of-the-art equipment in a program that encourages them to develop the professional and entrepreneurial skills they need to flourish in a changing media environment.

Program Overview The Literary and Art History Certificate helps students understand the natural connection between the written word and art. So often these activities overlap and, by making a concentration of these subject areas through select courses, the student is offered the opportunity to see how it is that the ideas or creative impulse of the day, and not the medium, that often determines what is made. Students of art history will be fascinated to learn that, while there are romantic painters, there are also romantic writers, and some like William Blake do both. Their ideas come out of the social milieu of the day and it is through the study across disciplines that the student is able to gauge the breadth of these contemporary ideas. 1. 2.

During Years 1 and 2, students receive a strong general education in the humanities, social sciences, sciences and take a number of core business courses. This serves as the foundation for advanced study in business at the upper level. Students in third and fourth Year also have the option of completing a minor consisting of four course in a specific discipline or crossdisciplinary area. The purpose of a minor is to help students acquire knowledge to support their major area of study or give them breadth in their business education. Students who do not pursue a minor can take additional business or non-business electives to complete their degree. In Years 3 and 4, students must acquire a specialization in one of the functional area of business, including Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Human Resources, International Business, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management. Students interested in Economics can also select that discipline, or those who want more breadth in their business studies can choose the General BBA. During their studies, students will receive high quality instruction from accomplished academics and practitioners. Case studies, class presentations, guest speakers, field trips, company reports, simulations, and business competitions are all extensively used to enhance the student's learning experience. In 3rd and 4th Year, students can go on an international exchange for a semester, participate in service learning, pursue the Co-operative Education Option, or complete an Honours Degree. Specializations take the form of majors consisting of eight or more courses. Some of these majors prepare students to pursue a professional designation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP), or Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) by providing the extensive course work needed to meet the core competencies established by the profession. BBA graduates will have strong writing, presentation, critical thinking, and people skills which are the cornerstones of future success. Job prospects for BBA graduates are generally good and students have the potential to rise quickly in position and salary if they apply themselves at work. 87 Learning Options MIST 2610 Management Information Systems Part-time - Yes On-Campus - Yes Distance – Most courses are available through distance delivery Program Start Date – September, January, May ORGB 2810 Organizational Behaviour HRMN 2820 Human Resource Management BLAW 2910 Commercial Law ECON 3040 Managerial Economics CMNS 3240 Advanced Professional Communication SCMN 3320 Supply Chain Management IBUS 3510 International Business MNGT 3710 Business Ethics and Society MNGT 4780 Strategic Management Admission Requirements To be admitted to the BBA, students must meet each of the following: 1. 2.

To earn this distinction, students must maintain a GPA of 3.00 (B) or higher in 3rd and 4th Year while either (i) completing additional upper level courses or (ii) writing a thesis. No upper level grade can fall below B- (GPA 2.67), although students can re-take courses once to meet the necessary grade requirement. To be admitted, students must have a GPA of 3.00 or higher in Years 1 and 2. Course Route students must take four additional 3rd and 4th year courses in business or economics or an approved related area of which two must be at the 4th year level. Those interested in the Thesis Route must take the following three courses as part of their BBA studies: • • BUSN 4980-6 - Honours Thesis PENDING PROGRAM APPROVAL BUSN 3980-3 - Business Research Methodology BUSN 4960-3 - Directed Studies or ECON 4960 - Directed Studies Business Research Methodology is taken in Year 3 and provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct academic research in one of the disciplines. Students will learn how to conduct literature reviews and prepare research proposals, and study the statistical methods that might be used in preparing an Honours Thesis. In Year 3 or Year 4, students will take a directed studies course in the area of their proposed thesis. Honours Thesis is taken in Year 4 where the student, under the direction of a thesis supervisor, prepares a research paper. The course has no formal class schedule; instead students confer regularly with their supervisor who provides advice on the direction of the research project. In addition to researching and writing the thesis, students will have to formally present it to the academic community. This will not only include their fellow classmates, but accomplished academics in the area. Service Learning Service learning provides an opportunity for senior-level students to share their knowledge and skills with the local community through approved community-based projects. These projects may be initiated by students; by community members, groups, agencies, and organizations; or by faculty. To qualify for service learning credit, a faculty member must first authorize the course and then agree to supervise and then evaluate the project. Students may receive service learning credit by working individually or in cohorts on the same community project. Normally, students meet with the faculty supervisor for initial consultation and/or training during the first week of classes; after the initial meeting, students are expected to keep the faculty supervisor informed about the project on a regular basis. At the end of the course, students will present the faculty supervisor with an evaluation form completed by the community group, agency, or organization served and some combination of the following: a research paper, report, or document; a student journal or activity log; a presentation, performance, or exhibition. BBA students may take up to six upper level credits of service learning (SERV 3000, SERV 4000). Co-operative Education Option The Co-operative Education Option is voluntary but is highly recommended as it provides students with the opportunity to combine academic studies with paid, career-related work experience. This will help them build a greater appreciation of the curriculum being studied; develop practical business skills; enhance their communication and critical thinking skills and self-confidence; develop a career focus and important job search skills; and establish employment and business contacts for after graduation. Job placements are competitive so students are not guaranteed a position in any given work term. Many co-op employers are located outside the Kamloops region so students may have to temporarily relocate for four, eight, or 12 months. Co-op time patterns vary depending on student priorities and market conditions. 90 6. Transfer credit will be assigned in accordance with the BC Transfer Guide, the TRU Credit Bank, a formal articulation agreement between the two institutions, or a specific course evaluation based on a course outline provided by the educational institution. Students with international education must provide translated official transcripts. Students must have a grade of C- or higher to receive transfer credit – non-graded (Pass/Fail, Complete) or university preparation credits will not be accepted. Transferred courses are awarded credit only and are not included in the CGPA. 7. Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) is assessment by some valid and reliable means of what has been learned through formal and non-formal education, training or experience that is worthy of credit in a course or program offered by TRU. PLAR is used to evaluate knowledge, skills and competencies which have been acquired through, but not limited to, work experience, independent reading, hobbies, volunteer work, non-formal learning, travel and artistic pursuits. PLAR can be awarded using an individual assessment or the TRU Credit Bank. Applications for co-op are accepted after students successfully complete specified 1000 and 2000-level core courses in the BBA. Students will be assessed based on academic performance (minimum GPA of 2.67), performance in the specific core courses and a letter of application. Preference will be given to students with strong oral and written communication skills. Successful students must complete a Coop Seminar (COOP 1000) which offers instruction in career development skills in order to be eligible for a work term. Students must complete three Co-op Work Terms to graduate with a Co-op designation, but they are still encouraged to complete just one or two work terms if possible. Students earn three upper level credits for each completed work term up to a maximum of six credits. Dual Degrees in Computing and Business Dual degrees in both computing and business provide graduates with a strong foundation from which to build a successful career in the information technology industry. Bachelor of Computing Science and BBA graduates will possess the combined management skills and computing “know how” needed to be successful in an increasingly hightech business environment. To earn dual degrees, students must meet the requirements of both programs. Many core and elective courses can be “double counted,” which means they can be used for credit in both programs. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete the two degrees in just five years. Dual degrees may be completed concurrently or sequentially. Course Requirements 1. No BBA credit will be given for ECON 1220 if it is taken after completion of either ECON 1900 (or equivalent) or ECON 1950 (or equivalent). 2. No BBA credit will be given for MATH 1100 if it is taken after completion of MATH 1070 (or equivalent). No credit will be given for MATH 1000 if it is taken after completion of MATH 1170 (or equivalent). 3. Students must have written permission from the program advisor to enrol in upper level business courses during their first 60 semester credits. 4. Normally, students will only be allowed to attempt a single course three times. The third attempt much be approved in writing by the chairperson of the department offering the course. The highest grade achieved in duplicated courses will be used for CGPA calculations, but the student's record will show all attempts. 5. Transfer credit will be determined on a course-by-course basis. Equivalent courses taken at approved two-year colleges will be awarded credit for lower level courses only. Upper level credit will be granted if a course is taken at an acceptable university. Normally, the course must be 80 percent equivalent to receive transfer credit. The university maintains a credit bank containing course equivalencies for courses or programs such as professional licences, designations, or certificates completed outside of the college or university system. These non-formal courses and programs have been previously evaluated by qualified tenured/tenure track faculty members from the academic department responsible for the course and the credits to be awarded are predetermined. Students should contact a program advisor if they feel they are eligible for credit from the credit bank or have taken other courses or programs that they believe should be included. For individual assessment for business and economics credit, applicants will be evaluated by portfolio and/or a challenge exam that is assessed by a qualified tenured/tenure track faculty member from the academic department responsible for the course – if a challenge exam is written, a grade of C or higher is required to receive credit. PLAR credit does not count towards the residency requirement of the BBA and is awarded credit only and not included in a student’s CGPA. PLAR credit awarded by other Canadian accredited post-secondary institutions that have formally adopted the assessment standards of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and/or the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) prior learning standards and guidelines will also be recognized. Students should contact a program advisor if they feel they are eligible for PLAR credit. Students can receive credit for no more than 30 credits of the BBA requirements by PLAR. Degree Completion Requirements 1. Complete at least 120 credits with a minimum of 60 credits as TRU credit. Students must also complete a minimum of 36 business credits as define by AACSB as TRU credit. More than 120 credits may have to be taken to meet these requirements. 91 2. Complete the general education requirements, core courses, and a major or General BBA. 3. Complete a minimum of 45 credits in non-business courses, 51 upper level credits, and 39 upper level credits in business or economics. Business courses include those beginning with the ACCT, BLAW, MIST, ENTR, FNCE, HRMN, IBUS, MKTG, MNGT, ORGB, SCMN, or BUSN acronyms. 4. Complete at least four 4000-level business or economics courses including MNGT 4780. 5. No more than 30 credits completed at other university-level institutions as part of a student exchange may be counted toward completion of the BBA program. Students must have their courses approved by a program advisor before participating in an exchange. 6. If completing a major and a minor, students can only share credit for one course. When completing a double major, students may share credit for two courses only. 7. No more than nine credits of a combination of service learning or co-operative education may be counted towards the BBA requirements. A minimum CGPA of 2.67 is required for admission to co-operative education or service learning courses 8. Complete at least three credits of distance delivery business or economics courses. 9. Attain an overall CGPA of at least 2.0, and grades of C- or better in all core courses, major/minor courses, General BBA courses or prerequisites courses. Students must earn a minimum of C+ in prerequisites for some upper level accounting and finance courses. 10. Students must apply for graduation and attendance at Convocation by completing and submitting the appropriate form(s). The deadline for submitting an application to graduate and attend Convocation is March 31 with program completion by April 30 for the June ceremony and July 31 with program completion by August 31 for the October ceremony. Laddering BBA graduates who attain a minimum GPA of 3.00 in the last 60 credits may receive a course waiver for up to six courses in the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration and apply directly to the Master of Business Administration. Students must receive a grade of B or higher in the equivalent undergraduate courses to receive a course waiver.

Students with a first degree in business who want to change their area of focus may want to complete a post-baccalaureate diploma as well. The post-baccalaureate diplomas are also valuable to international students who wish to come to Canada to learn English, gain exposure to a new culture, and study in a compressed format. Many who do so have already studied business in their own country and have received exemptions that reduce the length of the program. These diplomas will be a great foundation for students who want to pursue a professional designation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP), or Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) after graduation. Learning Options Part-time - Yes On-Campus - Yes Distance – Most courses are available through distance education Program Start Date – September, January, May Admission Requirements Bachelor Degree Note: Students are expected to have taken Foundations of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 or equivalent and have completed at least six credits of university English prior to admission. Those who have not done so can still be admitted to the program, but they must complete equivalent courses as approved by a program advisor.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Degree. Upon completion graduates are eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) 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 Study The program is offered on a full-time basis over 4 years. All BScN program requirements must be completed within 7 years of the date of entry. Students have practicum experiences throughout the 4 years of the program including a 4-6 week practicum in year 2 and 3 during May/June. Practica occur in residential and acute care facilities, community health agencies, and homes. Outlying agencies in the region are used for clinical practice and students are required to travel outside of Kamloops for practica. Practicum courses may also include evening and weekend experiences. Part-time Study In exceptional circumstances part-time study may be available to internal students pending seat availability. All BScN program requirements must be completed within 7 years of the date of entry. Kamloops Campus The BScN program is offered yearly every September with 80 seat capacity. Williams Lake Campus Williams Lake offers the first two years of the BScN program every second year with the next intake in September 2016, then 2018. Program Overview 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. 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. The BScN degree does not qualify the graduate to undertake employment as a registered nurse, rather, qualifies the graduate to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Upon successful complete, you apply to register with CRNBC Graduates applying for the NCLEX and CRNBC requires registrants to provide information regarding any convictions for criminal offenses (other than minor traffic violations). Candidates with criminal convictions may not be eligible for CRNBC registration. BScN Program 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. Studies will give students the technical knowledge, human understanding and practical skills to provide responsible and competent client-centred 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. International Experiences International Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) 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. 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. 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. The international and global education opportunities within the BScN program are applicable to the new TRU Global Competency www.tru.ca/global credential.

Transfer students need to assess the program course requirements and course descriptions for equivalency before proceeding to apply. Review the BScN Curriculum at www.tru.ca/nursing/programs/bsn/courses. Transferring between educational institutions is generally not straightforward and students will often be admitted at a point earlier in the program, thus taking longer to completed 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. Contact the Student Advisor, School of Nursing for information. Criminal Record Check The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General requires "Registered students in any certificate, diploma, or degree program that has a practicum involving working with children or vulnerable adults must provide a criminal record check authorization to the Criminal Records Review program."

In order for students to complete the BScN program they are required to demonstrate competent nursing practice with children and vulnerable adults. A clear Criminal Record Check from the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General is a pre-practicum and pre-employment requirement. Please be advised that a criminal record may limit practicum placement and preclude program completion. Applicants with a criminal record should begin the process of applying for a pardon through the National Parole Board www.npb-cnlc.gc.ca. Consent for a Criminal Record Check is required and coordinated through the School of Nursing. Information regarding the process for the Criminal Record Check will be available once an applicant has accepted a BScN seat offer and paid the required commitment fee. Payment for the CRC fee is not required until you are registered for the first nursing practice course.

Because of the importance of safety in Nursing, students who fail to achieve a C grade in any required course will not be permitted to advance in either theory or clinical courses until they have successfully repeated the course(s). This usually means waiting until the course is offered again the following year. Nursing Practice Experiences Practice experiences will take place in local and regional facilities and community health agencies. Students are required to complete nursing practicums/preceptorships in agencies located outside of Kamloops. Students must provide their own transportation to the agencies involved in nursing practice courses and are also responsible for accommodation and related expenses. Completion Requirements For students enrolled in the BScN program on a full time basis, program completion is expected within 7 consecutive years for BScN degree completion. Students will be assessed on an individual basis. Degree students must apply to the TRU Registrar’s office for permission to graduate and attend the convocation ceremony. 130 1. Failures and Repeats Students who fail to achieve a C grade (60%) in each required course (BIOL 1592/BIOL 1594, BIOL 1692/BIOL 1694) and all NURS courses within the BScN program or those to do a program withdrawal are no longer considered to be in the BScN program. To enrol in other TRU courses, students must apply into one of TRU's open programs. If a student needs to repeat a BScN required course, special permission by the BScN chairperson must be given subject to availability. If successful in completing the required course(s), students must reapply for the BScN program and acceptance will be subject to space availability. Students who are on leave from the BScN program must reapply and acceptance will be subject to space availability.

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 received NSERC scholarships to continue their studies. Service Learning Students may take six credits of service learning during their third or fourth years. 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. Bachelor of Science Co-operative Education Students planning to take a Major program in Biology, Chemical Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Mathematics or Physics may apply to enter the Co-operative 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. Refer to Co-operative Education for detailed information on Co-op policies, procedures, and fees. Co-operative Education Website Biology Co-op 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. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to enter the BSc Biology Co-op Option and must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to remain eligible for Co-op. Students must complete a minimum of three co-op work terms to graduate with Co-op Distinction. Biology students normally apply in the fall semester of their second year. A Co-operative Education work term is considered a three-credit elective. Each program has different requirements for the elective. Contact the program advisor for more information. Computing Science Co-op Students must have maintained a term and cumulative GPA of 2.33 in all BSc courses, and have completed COMP 2130 and 2230 prior to their first work term. A Co-operative Education work term is considered a three-credit elective. Each program has different requirements for the elective. Contact the program advisor for more information. Chemistry/Environmental Chemistry Co-op Students must have completed first year and CHEM 1500/1510 or CHEM 1500/1520, and anticipate completing CHEM 2120/2220 and CHEM 2100/2250 prior to the first work term. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.33 is required, and must be maintained throughout the Co-op program. For students applying to Co-op in third year, CHEM 3100 and CHEM 3120 or CHEM 3170 must be completed prior to the first work term, and at least one of the following: CHEM 3060, 3070, and 3080, or CHEM 3220, 3230 and 3240, or CHEM 3310, 3320, 3330 A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.33 is required and must be maintained.

Students must have completed a minimum of 48 credits before beginning work term 1. Applicants must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.67 in BSc degree courses. Students must complete three Co-op work terms to graduate with Co-op Distinction. Mathematics students normally apply for the Co-op option in the fall semester of their second or third year. Students may upgrade their prerequisites while enrolled in the Bachelor of Science program. Applicants can take advantage of the Step One and Group Advising sessions offered throughout the school year to help make the process of applying and determining program requirements easier to understand. For more information, please contact Academic Advising at 250-828-5075 or email advising@tru.ca. Transfers to TRU A Co-operative Education work term is considered a three-credit elective. Each program has different requirements for the elective. Contact the program advisor for more information. Students from another college or university may apply to transfer to TRU any time after October 1. BC Students intending to transfer should check www.bctransferguide.ca to see what credits may transfer. International Experiences Laddering Credit to the BSc Program 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. BSc students may want to spend one or more semesters of study at another university. 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. Admission Requirements Students entering the Bachelor of Science program are required to complete English 1100 or 1110, 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% or equivalent 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) Biology 11 or 12 with C+ or better General Science Chemistry 11 or Chemistry 0500 Chemistry Chemical Biology Pre-calculus 12 with a minimum C+ or equivalent within the past 2 years Environmental Chemistry Physics 11 or Physics 1130 Computing Science Chemistry 11 or Chemistry 0500 Mathematics Mathematical Sciences Pre-calculus 12 with a minimum C+ or equivalent within the past 2 years Physics Physics 11 or Physics 1130 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. Course credit from the TRU Associate of Science degree may be applied toward a BSc degree. Contact the BSc Program Advisor by email at jrosvick@tru.ca for more information. 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 (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 (jrosvick@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. General Science Degree Program 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 BEd Secondary Program to qualify for teaching in BC secondary schools. The degree may 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. 142 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 (MBA). Course Requirements for the General Science Program 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'. Lower Level Requirements (1000- and 2000-level courses) Students in the BSc 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, or 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. During the first two years at least three credits of English must also be completed, including CMNS 2290 or 2300. (Students who do not achieve a high level of performance in their first English course will be required to complete 6 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 BSc 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. 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 or business courses. Alternatives: • • 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 BC secondary schools. 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. Students who successfully complete the BSc 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. Bachelor of Science Major 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. The courses available in the BSc Major program also meet the course requirements for entry into a variety of professional programs such as: • Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Rehabilitation Sciences at UBC and most other universities offering similar programs • Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Saskatchewan • Pre-veterinary year at the University of Guelph • Optometry program at the University of Waterloo • Chiropractic program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College • 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. 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 Mathematics and Economics Mathematical Sciences Physics Students wishing to enter a Major Program in these areas should meet with the BSc Advisor for further information. 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. 143 Bachelor of Science 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. 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. Students in the BSc Major Program may also be able to complete a minor in the following: COMP 2230 Data Structures, Algorithm Analysis and Program Design COMP Electives (18 Credits): COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Elective COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Elective COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Elective COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Electives COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Electives COMP XXXX 3000-4000 Level Computing Electives TOTAL CREDITS 30 Minor in Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development Requires the completion of 12 credits of upper level courses from the list below. • • • • Archaeology and Geology (Geoarchaeology) Computing Science Environmental Economics and Sustainability Management A Minor requires the completion of at least 30 credits and no more than 42 credits in the area of the Minor. At least 18 of these credits must be at the upper level (3rd or 4th year). 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. Minor in Archaeology and Geology Requires the completion of the following courses: ECON 3410 The Economics of Climate Change ECON 3690 Community Economic Development ECON 3700 Cost Benefit Analysis for Project Evaluation ECON 3710 Environmental Economics ECON 3990 *Selected Topics in Economics ECON 3730 Forestry Economics ECON 3740 Land Use ECON 4720 Sustainable Economic Development ECON 4990 *Selected 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. Minor in Management Specific requirements for minors programs in the School of Business are detailed in the Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Program section of the calendar. Students are advised to consult the SoBE Advisor GEOL 1110 Introduction to Physical Geology GEOL 2050 or Geological Time MATH 1070 or Mathematics for Business & Economics 2 or BIOL 1210 or Principles of Biology 2 Finite Mathematics with Applications 1 or GEOL 2290 Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Geology MATH 1100 or MATH 1140 or MATH 1380 Discrete Data Structures for Computing Science Introduction to Statistics or 3 credits from first or second year Archaeology: Calculus 1 or ARCH 1110 or Human Origins STAT 1200 or ARCH 2190 Ancient North Americans STAT 2000 or Introduction to Statistics or 9 credits in third and fourth year Archaeology from: PSYC 2100 or Analysis of Psychological Data or ARCH 3050 Theory in Archaeology ECON 2320 or Economics and Business Statistics 1 or ARCH 3060 Summer Field Training in Archaeology BIOL 3000 Biometrics Financial Accounting ARCH 3260 Environmental Archaeology ACCT 2210 ARCH 4110 Prehistory Spec Areas MIST 2610 Management Information Systems or ARCH 4200 Archaeology of British Columbia COMP 1020 Introduction to Spreadsheets plus two additional credits in Computer Science 9 credits in third and fourth year Geology from: Principles of Palaeontology ORGB 2810 Organizational Behaviour GEOL 3030 Environmental Geochemistry FNCE 3120 Finance GEOL 3190 Geomorphology MKTG 3430 Marketing GEOL 4250 Geological History of North America HRMN 3820 Human Resources GEOL 4480 Directed Studies in Geology Plus three additional 3000/4000 business course GEOL 3010 Minor in Computing Science Required Courses: (12 Credits) MATH 1700 Discrete Mathematics 1 COMP 1130 Computer Programming 1 COMP 1230 Computer Programming 2 Students taking a Major in Mathematical Sciences cannot take a Minor in Computing Science. 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 BA Advisor. 144 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. Honours Programs”, "Chemical Biology Major and Honours Program", "Mathematics Major and Honours Program" and "Computing Science Major and Honours Program". Double Major Program An Honours program is available in Chemical Biology and requires the completion of 126 credits, including the 117 credits required for the Major as well as CHBI 3980-1 (Introduction to Research), CHBI 4980-2 (Honours Seminar) and CHBI 4990-6 (Honours Thesis). Students must apply for admission to the Chemical Biology Honours program at the end of their 3rd year. Acceptance into the program normally requires 4th year standing, a minimum GPA of 3.0 with at least at B grade in all Biology, Chemistry and required English courses. Students in the BSc 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 BSc Advisor for further information 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. 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. A detailed description of course requirements is found below under “Graduation Requirements”. Lower Level and Upper Level Requirements Specific lower level and upper level requirements are listed on the following pages under each Major Degree Program. Students must ensure that during their second year they complete necessary prerequisites to the courses they plan to take in subsequent years. Bachelor of Science Honours Program The intention of Honours programs is to provide motivated students with the opportunity to develop their research skills under the supervision of a faculty member and to have this recognized as part of their program. The completion of an Honours program should provide a competitive edge for students wishing to enter graduate or professional schools. Interdisciplinary Major and Honours Program in Chemical Biology Students taking this program are eligible to enter the Biology or Chemistry Co-operative Education program, providing they meet the requirements.

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 BSc Advisor to assist them with their program planning. Entry into Year 3 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 BSc program in either Major program(s) or the General Science program to the Admissions Office by 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 BSc Advisor. Late applications will be considered only if space is available. Academic Requirements: Entry into Year 3 A minimum grade point average of 2.0 for all previous university credit courses attempted. Completion of 54 or more TRU credits which include: • • • 6-9 TRU credits from English including 3 or 6 credits from ENGL 1100, 1110, 1210 (depending on the grade obtained in the first English course taken) and CMNS 2290 or 2300 Minimum of 18 credits in introductory courses in Science and Mathematical and Computing Science as specified in section 4. a) under Graduation Requirements in the TRU Calendar Minimum of 6 credits in 2000-level science courses 151 Entry into Year 4 Completion of 84 or more TRU credits of which 50 or more credits must be in Science and Mathematical and Computing Science. Program Approval: Third and Fourth Year Students Students applying for admission to the third and fourth years of the Major or General Science Programs must have their proposed course programs approved by the BSc Advisor each year before registration. 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 first year English with a grade of B or better (ENGL 1100, ENGL 1110, ENGL 1120, ENGL 1140, ENGL 1210) or 6 credits of first year English; and • 3 credits of second year CMNS (CMNS 2290 or CMNS 2300) • 24 to 30 credits in other first and second year courses, for a total of 60 credits.

Learning Options 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. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in fall, winter, or summer semester. stations, local ranches, a local sawmill, and a fish hatchery. Locations may changes from year to year. 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. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education. Please visit www.tru.ca/distance/courses for current course offerings. 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. Program Overview 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. 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. 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 co-operative education format. Students learn problem solving, oral and written communication skills, and integration of various disciplines in both an independent and team environment. By understanding the scientific, economic, and social basis of natural resource issues, graduates of the program will be able to effectively interface between diverse interest groups, all having a stake in how our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are managed. Courses and field work dealing with management of the various sectors give students technical skills in a wide variety of management disciplines. Upon graduation, students will have acquired a wide range of technical abilities in assessing the status of ecosystems. This assessment covers aspects such as forestry, fisheries, range, and wildlife management. Learning Experiences Many of the courses offered by the Natural Resource Science Department include a field component. As students’ progress through our program, they will gain field experience in a variety of areas including vegetation analysis, soil analysis, forest stand measurements, lake analysis, and vertebrate and invertebrate sampling techniques. 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 Bachelor of Natural Resource Science Sample Co-op Time Pattern: Term Sep – Dec Jan – Apr May - Aug Year 1 Academic Semester Academic Semester Co-op Work Term 1 Year 2 Academic Semester Academic Semester Co-op Work Term 2 Year 3 Academic Semester Academic Semester Co-op Work Term 3 Year 4 Academic Semester Academic Semester Graduation Limitation of Enrolment Applications will be evaluated on the basis of GPA and additional documentation stating interest in natural resources and previous outdoor experience.

Promotion Policy Promotion from year to year will require a minimum grade of C in all required NRSC, ENGL and BIOL courses. Honours Program The Bachelor of Natural Resource Science (BNRS) Honours Program is designed for students who demonstrate academic excellence, and who wish to develop their scientific skills by conducting an individual research project under the supervision of a faculty member. The program will be especially appealing to students contemplating graduate studies following the completion of the undergraduate degree. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive the “With Honours" distinction on their degree, and assign to their name the title “BNRS (Hons.).” The Honours program requires course work and completion of a thesis. Admission Requirements to the Honours Program Students pursuing a BNRS degree normally apply for admission into the Honours Program prior to completion of Year 3. This will be in April for non-Co-op students or in December for Co-op students. A decision on the application by the Department of Natural Resource Sciences will be rendered after grades for their final Year 3 semester have been tabulated. Year 4 standing: The student must have completed all courses in the first, second and third year of the BNRS program. The student must maintain a GPA of 3.33 during their first, second and third years in the BNRS program. Supervision: A full-time faculty member (lecturer) from the Department of Natural Resource Sciences must agree to act as supervisor for the student’s thesis. ANTH XXX0 Anthropology NRSC 4050 Wildlife Management 2 NRSC 4110 Watershed Management NRSC 4210 Conflict Resolution NRSC 4980 Honours Seminar NRSC 4990 Honours Thesis Minimum credits required to graduate with the BNRS (Hons) degree: 125 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. 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. 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. 159 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. 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.

The four year dual credential program consists of a RT diploma and bachelor's degree in Health Science. Graduates of the three- or four-year program receive a Respiratory Therapy Diploma and are eligible to undertake the National Certification Examination for professional qualification as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Learning Options Diploma or Degree There are several completion options in the Respiratory Therapy program: • • • • 3-year Diploma stream 4-year dual Diploma/Degree stream (RT/BHSc) 2-year Diploma for students with a BSc degree (aka Fasttrack) RT Diploma and Master in Education (separate programs, but can be taken at the same time to graduate with both credentials) More information regarding the various options in the Respiratory Therapy program can be found at www.tru.ca/science/programs/rt. Year one is the same for both RT Diploma and Dual credential. Students declare interest to enter into the dual Diploma/Degree stream or remain in the RT Diploma stream during the winter semester of year one of the program. Full-time Study In order to complete the diploma within 3 years or the dual credential within 4 years, students need to be studying on a full-time basis. On-campus Diploma stream: Year 1 & 2 courses are offered on the Kamloops Campus. Diploma/Degree stream: Year 1, 2 and 3 courses are offered on the Kamloops Campus. The final year of either stream is the clinical year. The clinical year occurs at the clinical sites associated with TRU’s Respiratory Therapy program (not in Kamloops). Distance Education Students accepted into the Fast-track option are required to complete 4 distance courses through TRU-OL prior to entry into program. Students enrolled in the dual Diploma/Degree stream, may take their non-RESP elective courses either on-campus or via distance. The required upper level courses for the BHSc degree are taken as distance courses. Information on the BHSc courses can be found at www.tru.ca/science/programs/rt/rtdual-credit. Program Overview Respiratory Therapy (RT) is an allied health discipline devoted to the scientific application of technology in order to assist in the diagnosis, treatment, management and care of patients with cardiopulmonary. Respiratory Therapists are important members of modern hospital medical teams. TRU is the only educational institution in British Columbia to offer a program in Respiratory Therapy (RT). The program is accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Respiratory Therapy Education (CoARTE). Following completion of studies at TRU campus, the student completes an 11 month clinical internship at accredited 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. 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 option to the TRU-RT program is the possibility of obtaining a joint RT Diploma and Master of Education degree at the same time. This option is open to students who qualify for acceptance into the Fast-track RT stream. Students selecting this option divide their RT courses and MEd courses over 2 -3 years, followed by a clinical year. There is limited space for this option. Students must apply for both the RT program and the MEd program individually. See http://www.tru.ca/science/programs/rt.html or contact the Academic Coordinator for more information at lmueller@tru.ca. Following successful completion of the diploma or dual credential program, the graduate is eligible to sit the National Certification Examination which grants the professional qualification of RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist). Program Costs In addition to tuition and fees students should plan to budget for the following (costs are subject to change): • • • • CSRT costs -students are encouraged to join the CSRT early in the first year. A three-year membership is $100. Certification exam - clinical year students will need to pay a $900 fee during the last semester for their national certification exam. Relocation - students must be prepared to relocate to the Lower Mainland, Victoria, or Kelowna for all or part of third year. MEd program costs are separate from RT program costs. Admission Requirements The program and the Fast-track system have become very competitive. As there are a limited number of seats, applications must be complete and submitted by the deadline, otherwise applications will not be processed. High school student applications must include a Grade 176 11/12 transcript. Grade 12 interim grades must be submitted for courses students are enrolled in as of March 31st.

Email: lmueller@tru.ca to get more information. Students are required to submit the completed immunization record and CRC consent forms within one month after their start date. Admission for students holding a Bachelor of Science Degree or Associate of Science Degree Students who have an undergraduate Science Degree or an Associate of Science Degree may apply for advanced placement into the second year of the program as Fast-track students. Applicants should complete a program application, and indicate Respiratory Therapy Fast-track on the application form This Fast-track option is available on a selective admission basis. Students in the Fast-track program are required to successfully complete 4 distance courses prior to entry into the 2nd year of the fall semester. For more information, see: www.tru.ca/science/programs/rt/requirements/fast_track. Students with an Associate of Science or undergraduate science degree who are not admitted into the Fast-track option will be offered a seat in the first year of the program providing they meet the minimum educational requirements. Course transcripts will be reviewed for advanced credits. Application Process Prospective students must submit a completed application form. Admission information and application packages can be obtained at www.tru.ca/admissions/apply. Documentation of the items listed under General Requirements and official transcripts must be sent to the Admissions office. Application Dates and Deadlines for Sept intake: • • Oct 1st - March 31st for 1st year applicants* Oct 1st - Jan 31st for Fast-track applicants First-year applicants will be notified of their application status by the end* of April. Fast-track applicants will be notified by the end of February. Once students have received a conditional acceptance, they must pay a $500 commitment fee within 21 days of acceptance. Note: Acceptance is conditional based on receipt of final grades. Immunization forms and Criminal Record Check (CRC) consent forms will be sent to the student once they’ve been accepted into the program. Selection Criteria Admission into the Respiratory Therapy Program is determined by a selective admission process based on academic qualifications. Applicants who meet the minimal education requirements for admission are ranked and selected for admission according to the following: • Highest GPA in high school and post-secondary education • Number of years of post-secondary education • Number of completed post-secondary science courses Criminal Record Check and Immunization Record A Criminal Record Check consent form is sent to applicants who are accepted into the program. RT students are required to undergo a criminal record check as part of the Criminal Records Review Act for individuals working with children and vulnerable adults. TRU will initiate an online criminal record check request through the Ministry of Justice on behalf of the students. Students will be charged a fee for the criminal records check. Our clinical affiliates require a criminal record check prior to accepting students for clinical placement. Clinical agencies reserve the right to refuse to accept students with a criminal record. Not completing the clinical placements prevents a student from successfully completing the program. The Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapy and the provincial colleges of Respiratory Therapy may deny student membership and/or RT registration to candidates with criminal convictions. Our clinical affiliates require proof of up-to-date immunization prior to accepting students for clinical placement. Clinical agencies reserve the right to refuse to accept students who do not have this proof and this 177 could prevent the student from completing the clinical placements, and thus not completing the program. information regarding Dual credential completion, contact the Program Chairperson dsheets@tru.ca. Program Requirements Promotion Policy Year 1 – Semester 1 and 2 An overall grade of C (60%) and a minimum mark of 50% on the final course/lab exam is required for a passing grade in each RESP course, PHYS 1580 and BIOL 1592/1692.

Note: Successful completion of these courses is required for promotion to next semester. Students may be allowed to continue in the program if the student is granted Academic Probation. Academic Probation applies to the student who attains a grade of C- in any one RESP or science course during a semester, but has a passing grade 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. If a student fails a course while on academic probation, they will not be granted probation and will be removed from the program. Academic probation will not be granted two semesters in a row. Graduation from the Respiratory Therapy Program requires that the student acquire an overall grade point average of 2.17. The graduate will receive a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. During the time between graduation and writing the certification exam, the graduate may be employed as a graduate RT. 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.

For more Failing or withdrawing students should recognize that there is no guarantee of the opportunity to repeat courses. First time, full-time students are accepted first, and if space permits, repeating students may be re-accepted. A student who fails a course(s) will be required to repeat the course(s) within one calendar year. A failed course can only be repeated in the semester in which it is offered in the following year. The laboratory component of the failed course must also be repeated and lab marks will be integrated within the course. Students must re-register for the course(s) and pay the appropriate fees for any repeated courses. A student who has previously failed a health-related program and who subsequently applies for admission to the same program or to another health-related program will be regarded as a repeating student, unless he/she can show cause for being treated as a new student. Students re-entering the program may be required to challenge certain portions of courses in which they previously received credit or retake courses depending upon the currency of the knowledge and practical skills. All students re-entering the program are reminded that they are subject to program completion-time requirements. A student who receives a failing grade in a course or fails to meet objectives related to professional responsibility, professional accountability or patient safety may be refused re-admission to the 178 program (or another health-related program) at the recommendation of the Program Chairperson and the approval of the Divisional Dean.

The Co-operative Education program allows students to integrate academic studies with 3 elective credit co-op courses (work terms) that offer paid periods of relevant experience in industry, business, and government. Students alternate between periods of on-campus, full-time study, and work terms, which are full-time, paid employment. Co-operative Education Coordinators serve as the link between students, employers and the academic programs students are enrolled in. Coordinators work with students on all aspects of individual career planning. Coordinators seek out appropriate employment opportunities and ensure that Co-op opportunities are related as closely as possible to a student's area of study. In addition, Coordinators arrange interviews and finalize Co-op placements. Work term positions and the Co-op student’s progress are assessed through on-site visits.

In general, welders use manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal pieces together. They use flame-cutting, brazing and soldering equipment. Heat is applied to the pieces to be joined, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. They use metal shaping machines such as brakes, shears and other metal straightening and bending machines. They generally plan work from drawings or by analyzing damaged metal, using their knowledge of welding and metals. Welders may specialize in certain types of welding such as custom fabrication, ship building and repair, pressure vessel welding, pipeline construction welding, structural construction welding or machinery and equipment repair welding. Welders use blueprint symbols to determine machining operations. They check product specifications using precision measuring instruments, and maintain equipment and replace parts when required. They also transport materials to work areas using cranes or hoists. Manual dexterity is important for workers in this trade. Good physical health and agility are necessary. Analytical ability and an understanding of computerized machinery are important. These workers must be able to read simple instructions and follow them precisely. They should enjoy routine tasks, and working with others. Good communication skills are also important. A willingness to continue training and taking specialized training courses is usually necessary in order to be successful. Most people in these occupations work 40 hours per week. Some mills and processing plants operate on shifts during days, nights and weekends. Visit the Industry Training Authority site at www.itabc.ca for more information on welding trades. Welding Foundation Certificate Welding is an industrial art in a highly competitive field. The Welder Foundation student develops the high level of physical coordination and manipulative skills required for this trade through manual training. Gas welding and arc welding theory, basic metallurgy, basic blue print reading, applied mathematics and principles of safety are some of the technical subjects covered. Successful graduates receive ITA Level 1 & Level 2 certification. Learning Options Welder Foundation is a full-time, 28-week program. Program Start Dates Winter: end of January Fall: beginning of August 197 Hands-On Students engage in extensive practical exercises to develop job readiness skills. Evaluation of the work term will be performed by industry and the program instructor. The results of the work term will become part of the student record.
