When sub-scores are used, a good mark in one area will not compensate for a poor mark in another. If a student does not meet the requirements for direct entry, it is recommended that they write the TRU placement test to determine the appropriate placement for them in EAP. If all of their scores, subtests and overall place them at, for example Level 4, it is recommended that they do the TRU placement test to determine their courses; however, they will not be placed below Level 4 (or whichever level their initial scores place them). 11 Countries that do not require additional English testing American Samoa, Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Belize, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Canada (including Quebec), Cameroon, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Gambia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Malta, Mauritius, Montserrat, Namibia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Africa, St. Helena, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Swaziland, Trinidad & Tobago, Tanzania, Turks & Caicos Islands, Uganda, United Kingdom, USA, US Virgin Islands, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

For more information on English language proficiency, testing, and requirements, please visit tru.ca/englishrequirements. Canadian applicants from outside of British Columbia Other ways to qualify for admission All Canadian high school curricula including International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP), as well as courses and programs from Canadian public post-secondary institutions (where required) may be used to meet TRU admission requirements. Mature Student Status Mature students are defined as any applicant of at least 19 years of age on or before the first day of the term they have applied to, who has not graduated, have had no formal education experience in the last two years, and do not qualify as a High School or Transfer applicant. Students classified as mature may have the grade level admission requirement waived, for example, grade 11, grade 12, etc., but they are still required to meet a program’s other admission requirements and all course prerequisites. Canadian high school course equivalencies can be found here. International applicants In addition to meeting all TRU Admission requirements, international applicants must: • Have a valid student permit from the Government of Canada. • Have been formally admitted to a TRU Program before arrival. • Possess valid and adequate medical insurance coverage. TRU Start (Dual Credit) TRU Start BC high school students can take selected TRU programs, or one or two courses, during grade 12. University level credit earned can be applied toward future undergraduate credentials at TRU and may count as credit toward high school graduation. Counting undergraduate credit for high school graduation is subject to approval of the applicable school district. International applicants should be aware of study permit processing times and plan their application to TRU accordingly. Find out more at International Admissions. 12 Visiting students Advanced Placement (AP) Visiting students must be pursuing a credential at another recognized post-secondary institution and have permission from their home institution to engage in coursework and/or research at TRU toward their credential at their home institution. Advanced credit is granted for approved subjects passed with a grade of a 4 or higher. Official transcripts must be provided by the College Board. International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) Advanced credit will be granted for higher-level courses passed with a grade of 5 or higher. Official transcripts must be provided by the International Baccalaureate Organization. Unclassified students Students seeking to register in a limited number of TRU courses without being enrolled in a specific program may select “unclassified” as their program of choice when applying. Unclassified students must still meet general admission requirements. General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced credit is granted for approved A-level courses passed with a grade of an A or B. Official transcripts must be provided to receive transfer credit. Credit for previous learning Transfer Credit TRU recognizes prior post-secondary studies for transfer credit from Canadian public post-secondary institutions and recognized institutions around the world. Recognition depends on regional and/or federal authority for post-secondary quality assurance and/or accreditation. Transfer credit is normally assessed at the time of admission upon receipt of official transcripts as well as any other required documentation such as course outlines. Read more about transfer credit here. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) Advanced Standing & Enriched Programs Applicants who gain admission may request to defer their admission, normally for up to one year. Not all programs allow deferral. Approved requests for deferral will require full payment of all applicable deposits. Deposits are non-refundable if registration does not occur within the deferral period. PLAR is a process used to determine if credit can be awarded for knowledge and skills already acquired. This may include learning that took place outside of the formal, post-secondary system. PLAR provides students with the opportunity to have such learning assessed and recognized in the form of academic credit toward the requirements of a Thompson Rivers University credential. Read more about PLAR here. Deferring admission TRU recognizes and awards university level credit to both Canadian and international students who complete any of the following enriched secondary school courses and programs. Read more about advanced credit here. 13 Registration Eligibility to register Course waitlists Most (not all) undergraduate courses offer the ability for students to place themselves on a course waitlist when a section is full. Students can place themselves on waitlists up until the registration deadline for that term (see Important Dates and Deadlines). After this deadline, students will no longer be able to add their name to a waitlist for courses that are full. Students can be waitlisted for more than one course, but they cannot be listed on more than one section for the same course. Newly admitted students are eligible to register in TRU courses after accepting their offer of admission and paying the applicable tuition deposit. Admission to TRU does not guarantee availability of space in specific courses when registering. Continuing students are eligible to register after paying the applicable tuition deposit. Continuing students are students who have completed at least one TRU course within the last 12 months. Seat offers for waitlisted courses are made through email notification to the TRU email account. Students are responsible for checking their TRU email frequently to see if a seat has become available. The time duration for accepting the seat offer is short and the offer must be acted upon quickly. If you do not register within the allocated time, you will be removed from the waitlist and the seat will go to the next student on the waitlist. Students who have not been actively registered in at least one TRU course within the last 12 months must re-apply for admission before being eligible to continue. Registration planning TRU Program Plan (Degree Works) Being on a waitlist is not the same as being registered in a course and does not guarantee that a seat will become available. You may view your TRU Program Plan at any time using the myTRU online student portal. Your TRU Program Plan includes program requirements, transfer credit and/or PLAR assessment results and remaining credits required for program completion. If you are unsure of which courses to register in while waiting for your transfer credit and/or PLAR assessment results, please contact your advisor. Read more about your TRU Program Plan here. IMPORTANT: If you are still on a waitlist for a course at the start of the term, you are expected to attend the first two weeks of the course to keep your spot on the waitlist. If you are not able to attend the first two weeks of class, you must make prior arrangements with the course instructor. Students may be dropped from the class roster/waitlist for non-attendance. Course schedule and registration resources Course change (add/drop) deadlines Course schedules are published online approximately one month prior to the start of each academic term. Course registration resources are available online here. Course registration changes must be completed before the deadline dates indicated in the Annual Schedule of Academic and Important Dates, normally 10 business days following the first day of classes. Students are encouraged to consult with Program and Academic Advisors and Student Awards & Financial Aid before making course changes to confirm the impact of adding or dropping courses on academic completion, student loans, or other funding. Registration times Registration for fall (September) and winter (January) begins in June. Registration for summer (May) and summer intersessions (May and June) begins in March. Withdrawals Students may withdraw from a course before the course change (add/drop) deadline without academic or financial penalty. (nonrefundable tuition deposits may be forfeited) Students are assigned a date and time for registration before registration begins. This is called a Priority Course Registration Date. On or after the assigned registration date and time, eligible students may register in courses. Students can find their Priority Course Registration Date on the myTRU online student portal. Students may withdraw from a course after the course change (add/drop) deadline and before the withdraw deadline with no academic penalty. A grade of “W” will appear on their transcript. This will not affect their grade point average (GPA). No refund will be provided. How to register Eligible students with an active registration time can register in TRU courses using the myTRU online student portal. Students can also make registration changes or drop courses using the portal up until the course change (add/drop) deadline. Some students may not be able to access online registration due to their program of study; these students will be notified by Enrolment Services of their confirmed registration. Students requiring assistance should contact Enrolment Services. Students who withdraw or discontinue participation in a course after the withdraw deadline will receive a grade of “F” or “DNC” on their transcript. No refund will be provided. Students considering withdrawing from a course should seek advice from an advisor and consider potential impacts on academic progression as well as financial aid eligibility. 14 Withdrawal in extenuating circumstances Students must meet with the instructor at the commencement of the course, or prior to a change to Audit status, to agree on what constitutes reasonable steps to complete course requirements. Prior to the last day of the term, students may request to withdraw from courses due to extenuating circumstances that are unforeseen and beyond their control. A partial refund of tuition may be considered. Students are encouraged to seek available supports through the Office of Student Affairs, and/or their International Student Advisor (ISA) when such extenuating circumstances arise. Students who wish to change from Credit to Audit status must do so by the end of the second week of the term. Departments have the right to refuse an audit student’s participation. To request a withdrawal under extenuating circumstances, submit a completed withdrawal in extenuating circumstances form to Enrolment Services at es-supervisor@tru.ca. Refer to Withdrawals Policy ED 3-0 for more details. Auditors are required to pay full tuition and fees. Student responsibility Auditing a course Students are responsible for the accuracy of their registration in courses and for ensuring their registration meets all course prerequisites and corequisites. They are also responsible for confirming that the courses they have chosen conform to their individual program requirements and university regulations. Students who register to audit a course must satisfy the instructor that they are taking reasonable steps to complete course requirements, although no formal evaluation procedures are required. If in the judgment of the instructor a student is not doing this, a grade of W will be recorded. 15 Tuition and Fees TRU’s tuition and fees are set and reviewed annually by the Board of Governors and are subject to change.

This includes demonstrating respect for the legitimate rights and freedoms of others. 23 Part-time student: A student who is enrolled in less than 60% of a fulltime course load (less than 40% for students with a permanent disability), will be classified as a part-time student. Thompson Rivers University promotes teaching, scholarship and research, and the free and critical discussion of ideas. The University is committed to providing a working and learning environment that allows for the full and free participation of all members of the University community. In the event the University considers students’ conduct to be inconsistent with this expectation or considers that students are not appropriately dedicated to the furthering of their own education, they may be suspended for a set period or indefinitely. As such, students should familiarize themselves with the Suspension of Students (ED 7-0) Policy. Student Records Official Transcripts of Academic Record TRU regards the individual's permanent student record as a personal private document. Official transcripts must be requested by the student. Order your official transcript through myTRU and if you have special instructions, email them immediately to transcripts@tru.ca with ‘Special Instructions’ in the subject line. Students must request in writing if they want official transcripts to be sent to employers, educational institutions, and other authorized agencies directly from TRU. If more convenient, and accepted by the other institution, copies of transcripts can be sent to students (on request) in sealed envelopes—students may then enclose these sealed transcripts with other materials to be sent to employers, educational institutions, etc. Grades Grade Point Average Grade Point Average (GPA) is a measure of how well you are doing in your academic studies. It is used to determine a student’s eligibility to continue in programs that have minimum requirements (Honours), to graduate and to receive “with Distinction” designation on your degree. Grade Point: A numerical value given to an alphabetical letter grade used in the assessment of academic performance. At TRU, the academic grading scale goes from "A+" to "F", with grade points assigned to each letter. A student’s grade point average is a mathematical calculation that indicates where an average of the grades falls on the scale. TRU does not provide electronic copies (PDF files) of official or unofficial transcripts. Students can print an unofficial copy of their transcript from their myTRU account. No transcripts or credentials will be issued until students have resolved all obligations to TRU in the way of fees, overdue library books, or outstanding fines and loans. 1. For each course taken the grade point value of the mark is multiplied by the credit value of that course. Change of contact information 2. The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credits to obtain the grade-point average (GPA). Students should ensure that Enrolment Services has their current contact information such as mailing address, email address, and telephone number. Students can change their contact information through myTRU, by telephone, or in-person at the Enrolment Services Office, or by emailing records@tru.ca. Students who receive government financial assistance should also notify the appropriate provincial authority. 3. The GPA is calculated only on courses taken for credit. 4. A course or grade may not be deleted from the permanent record. However, if students repeat a course only the highest grade will be used in the calculation of their total grade point average, including equivalent courses taken through TRU-OL. Students should contact Enrolment Services to ensure their GPA has been recalculated. Students who wish to change their legal name or to add a preferred name must complete the Name Change Request form. This form can be found online at Enrolment Services/forms, and it, along with additional documentation if required, it should be submitted to records@tru.ca. To find out what point value is assigned to each letter grade at TRU view the Grading Systems Policy, ED 3-5. Email communication regulations Students who intend to transfer to another educational institution should be aware that another institution may re-compute grade point average in accordance with its own policies. A student’s TRU email address is the university's official electronic mailing address for all students. The account holder is responsible for reading and attending to email sent to this address. For details, please review the IT Services website at tru.ca/its.

Students may be eligible to transfer up to 50% of their program’s required credits from another recognized university (Policy ED 8-0) with the advanced written approval of their supervisor and Graduate Program Coordinator. To have credits assessed for transfer, complete a letter of permission form. To receive transfer credit for courses, they must have been taken at a recognized post-secondary institution, and the graded level of performance must normally be equivalent to a “B” or higher standing on the TRU scale. The transferability of credits will be assessed based on guidelines outlined in Policy ED 2-4 and comparison of course curriculum as per Policy ED 8-0. Please consult with individual graduate programs for requirements that may differ from these standards. All required supporting documentation must be received by the Graduate Admissions office for your application to be considered complete and ready for processing. Admission decisions Once the application package is complete with all supporting documents, and transcripts have been verified, Graduate Admissions will forward the application package to the Chair or the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator. Program completion times There is a five-year maximum time frame for completing a master’s degree. Programs vary in design and standard completion time. If students are unable to follow the program schedule and complete it within the normal timeframe for the program, please discuss this with the program-specific Graduate Program Coordinator. Individual Graduate Program Committees consider all applications and make admission decisions, which may include special conditions or considerations. The Graduate Program Committee recommends acceptance based on admissions criteria stated by the program; fit within the program; enrolment numbers; and availability of a supervisor with the appropriate interest and expertise (as applicable). Absences and leaves of absence Students are generally expected to be in attendance for all aspects of the graduate program. Students missing any of these activities for a short period, including courses, seminars and other activities as applicable should inform the instructor(s). It is the student’s responsibility to catch up on any missed material. All applicants will be informed of the admission decision. If admitted for graduate study, students will receive a Letter of Acceptance by email from the Graduate Admissions Office. Short-term absences: Less than three weeks Short-term absences are managed within the student’s academic unit. Students should discuss short-term absences with their program-specific Graduate Program Coordinator prior to commencing the leave, or as soon as possible thereafter, to determine any impact on studies. Admission deferrals Admission deferrals may be considered and will be determined based on unique situations. Individual graduate program coordinators are responsible for deferral decisions. Students should consult the relevant Graduate Program Coordinator to discuss deferral. Long-term leaves of absence: Greater than three weeks Sometimes students need to take a formal leave of absence (longer than three weeks) while in the process of completing their TRU graduate degree program. Formal leaves of absence are available to students after completion of a minimum of one term. Leaves are normally granted in 4-month blocks to align with term registration terms. Leaves of absence may be granted for a minimum of one term and up to one year (3 terms). The total duration of all leaves of absence granted in a master’s program is normally limited to 2 years (6 terms). Academic status Normally, students in graduate programs are considered full-time when they are enrolled in six credits or more per term and are considered part-time when enrolled in fewer than six credits per term. For the purposes of tuition and fees, graduate programs with programbased tuition (rather than per-credit tuition) may have varying definitions of full- and part-time studies. See tru.ca/gradstudies for details. Possible circumstances for requesting a leave of absence include compassionate, medical, and parental reasons. Before requesting leave, the student is encouraged to discuss their specific situation with their supervisor and/or Graduate Program Coordinator. Residency requirements Completion of a master’s degree requires a minimum of 24 graduate credits of study, and at least 50% of a program’s requirement must be completed through TRU (Policy ED 8-0). All thesis, project, or culminating creative work must be completed under the supervision of a TRU Graduate Supervisor. It is recommended that graduate students normally complete a majority of their master’s degree at TRU to gain maximum benefit from the faculty, student colleagues, facilities and other resources. Financial support is normally suspended during a leave of absence and may be reinstated upon return depending upon funding-specific restrictions. The specific conditions associated with individual external awards will be respected. Tuition fees are not assessed during a leave of absence. Time taken on a leave of absence is not included in the time period allotted for completion of the degree, and degree completion deadlines will be adjusted accordingly. All other program requirements and academic unit expectations remain the same. Please consult with individual graduate programs, as they may have requirements that exceed these standards. 34 Students cannot undertake any form of academic work or use any of the university’s facilities during a period of leave. Dismissal Students with a GPA below 2.67 on a 4.33 scale in two consecutive terms may be dismissed from the program. This action requires consultation with the Graduate Program Coordinator, the relevant Dean, and the approval of the Vice-President, Research. Documentation required for long-term leave of absence Complete a Leave of Absence form and attach required supporting documentation (i.e., a letter from the student explaining the circumstances, and/or a letter from a physician or other qualified professional). Appeal Students may appeal a grade decision through the Student Academic Appeal Process (Policy ED 4-0). Leave of Absence forms should be submitted before the start of the term for which leave is requested. Retroactive requests for leave will only be considered in exceptional cases. Graduate Work: Thesis, Project, or Creative Work The master’s degree program may include graduate work in the form of a thesis, project or production of a creative work. More information about a graduate thesis can be found at Resources for Current Graduate Students, Thesis Procedures. At the end of a period of leave, students wishing to extend their time on leave must submit a new Leave of Absence form. Unless TRU is informed otherwise in advance, the student will be automatically reinstated in their program and registered in the term indicated on the original submitted Leave of Absence form. Students who remain absent beyond the approved dates may be automatically withdrawn after 3 terms and will be required to reapply for admission to continue in their program of study. The graduate work is a significant academic experience of a master’s degree program that is based on original research and inquiry, contributes to a body of knowledge, and becomes part of TRU’s library holdings and the Canadian Archives. The work may be purely academic and/or applied, leading to the development of improved policy, practice, or products. Through the process of formulating and pursuing the inquiry, students have the opportunity to demonstrate academic rigour, creativity, originality, and insightfulness, and hone their ability to explore, develop, critically analyze, synthesize, interpret, and communicate ideas and concepts. Academic standing Graduate Student in Good Academic Standing Minimum pass for students in a graduate program: a student who receives a B- or lower in two or more courses may be required to withdraw regardless of their grade point average unless the program recommends otherwise. Individual programs may require a higher minimum passing grade. (Policy ED 03-5). Ownership of data and information Student Responsibilities: Respect the university’s policies regarding intellectual property and the ownership of data and information. As applicable, follow the contractual agreements with other agencies or individuals regarding the ownership of data, information, and equipment.

Major in Theatre Arts A four-year undergraduate degree program. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA). Theatre Arts is the study of theatrical performance and production. At TRU, we provide a training ground for practical application of dramatic studies. Bachelor of Arts Minors Students become not only collaborative and analytical, but they also develop the creative tools and techniques necessary for the creation of theatre. Our areas of study include Acting, Voice, Technical Theatre, Design 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 Actor’s Workshop Theatre Major programs may be combined with a minor in any TRU academic discipline. A major without a minor is also possible. One or more minors without a major is also possible. The TRU Actors Workshop To complete a baccalaureate degree with a minor, a student must complete the specified required credits for the minor program, as well as the credits required for their degree. 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. Theatre is the live stage element of TRU’s Literatures, Languages, and Performing Arts Department. Students enrolled in various acting and technical theatre courses can participate in several major productions each year and may acquire credit through their performance and participation. Unless otherwise specified, the credit requirements are all that is necessary to complete a minor in any discipline in conjunction with a major. Admission requirements For a minor, you must include in the 120 credits required for the degree between 18-42 credits, with most arts minors being at least 30 credits and no more than 42 credits in your minor area. Students apply to the Bachelor of Arts program and typically enter the major program in their third year of study. Before entering the program, students must meet with a major advisor to verify their qualifications and design the best-suited path for completing the BA degree. Note: some disciplines have their own specific requirements for a minor.

Learning options Program overview Full-time or part-time Study: Students may complete the program on a full-time or part-time basis in conjunction with a degree. Indigenous Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that seeks to understand the ways in which Indigenous peoples worldwide, despite their incredible diversity, share a common experience of colonization. Learn and think about historical contexts, political struggles, cultural expressions, and the lived ongoing effects of colonialism. On-campus: Courses are offered at the Kamloops campus. Some courses may also be available through TRU OL. The Indigenous Studies Certificate provides students with the opportunity to concentrate on Indigenous studies as part of their 84 degree. Students are encouraged to explore issues through a broad range of disciplinary course offerings. As Indigenous issues crossdisciplinary boundaries so too does this certificate. * Highly recommended as an introduction to Indigenous Studies The following courses would not normally be accessible to students in a certificate program due to the individual course prerequisites and the requirement of admittance to the bachelor’s degree programs for upper level courses. In special circumstances, however, it may be possible for non-traditional students to be admitted to these courses, which may be applied towards the credits for the certificate.

Laddering credit to other programs Credits earned in the Literary and Art History Certificate can be applied toward the BFA Degree. Program contacts 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.

Some of these majors prepare students to pursue a professional designation after graduation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP), Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), Project Management Professional (PMP), or Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) by providing extensive course work needed to meet the core competencies established by the profession. BC Grade 12 or mature student status Foundations Mathematics 12 or Pre-calculus 12 with minimum C+ (or equivalent) English Studies 12/English First Peoples 12 with a minimum of 73% (or equivalent) Students may commence their studies while they upgrade their English and/or mathematics. Students deficient in mathematics and/or English will not be permitted to register in any courses with mathematics or English as a prerequisite until upgrading is complete. Advisors are available to help with this. Admission to the BBA generally occurs at the first-year level, however, students may also transfer into the program during their second or third year. Majors can also provide students with a strong theoretical background which will prepare a student to continue into graduate-level academic programs. Program requirements Third- and Fourth-year students also have the option of completing a minor consisting of four courses 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 must take additional business or non-business electives to complete their degree. Students should attain an overall CGPA of at least 2.0, and grades of Cor better in all core courses, major/minor courses, General BBA courses or prerequisites courses. Students must earn a minimum of C+ or higher in prerequisites for some upper level accounting and finance courses. Non-Business Electives (Breadth) Humanities Electives Students must declare their major (and minor). The declaration can be made by filling in the online form found in your myTRU account and should be done by or during third year. 6 credits of humanities electives must be completed from the following: English Students receive high-quality instruction from accomplished academics and practitioners. Case studies, class presentations, guest speakers, field trips, company reports, simulations, and business competitions are used extensively to enhance the student learning experience. Chinese French German Spanish Japanese Speech Theatre Music Philosophy Film Communications History Visual and Performing Arts Social Sciences Electives Beginning in Year 2, students can go on an international exchange for one or two terms, attend a Field School, participate in service learning, pursue the Co-operative Education option and/or complete an Honours degree. 6 credits of social sciences electives must be completed from the following: BBA graduates will have strong writing, presentation, critical thinking, and human relation skills; these are the cornerstones of future success. Employment prospects for BBA graduates are good and students have the potential to rise quickly in position and salary if they apply the skills 91 Anthropology Archeology Canadian Studies Economics Geography Political Studies Psychology (excludes PSYC 2100) Sociology (excludes SOCI 2710) Finance Major Core Courses The following 72 credits (24 courses) are required: MNGT 1710 Introduction to Business ENGL 1100 ENGL 1110 ENGL 1120 ENGL 1140 ENGL 1210 Introduction to University Writing or Critical Reading and Writing or Introduction to Poetry or Introduction to Drama or Introduction to Drama and Poetry CMNS 1290 Introduction to Professional Writing MATH 1070 Mathematics for Business and Economics MATH 1170 Calculus for Business and Economics ECON 1900 Principles of Microeconomics ECON 1950 Principles of Macroeconomics PHIL 1110 Introduction to Critical Thinking ECON 2320 Economics and Business Statistics 1 ECON 2330 Economics and Business Statistics 2 ACCT 2210 Financial Accounting ACCT 2250 Management Accounting FNCE 2120 Financial Management MKTG 2430 Introduction to Marketing MIST 2610 Management Information Systems 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 ACCT 3200 ACCT 3210 ACCT 3220 ACCT 3230 ACCT 3250 FNCE 4110 ACCT 4200 ACCT 4230 ACCT 4250 ACCT 4270 FNCE 4180 At least three of: FNCE 3140 ACCT 3260 FNCE 4120 FNCE 4140 FNCE 4160 FNCE 4190 ECON 4330 International Financial Management ORGB 3810 HRMN 3830 HRMN 3840 BLAW 3920 HRMN 4830 HRMN 4840 ORGB 4870 HRMN 4890 Financial Statement Analysis Taxation for Decision Making Business Valuation and Restructuring Personal Financial Management Advanced Portfolio Management Financial Institutions Management Forecasting in Business and Economics Organizational Theory and Design Human Resource Planning and Staffing Employee and Labour Relations Employment Law Total Rewards Organizational Learning, Training, and Development Organizational Development and Change Human Resource Strategy and Professional Practice International Business Major IBUS 3530 International Trade Finance MKTG 4470 International Marketing IBUS 4510 Cross-Cultural Management IBUS 4540 Global Entrepreneurship IBUS 4560 Doing Business in Emerging Markets IBUS 4570 Global Management At least two of: ECON 3550 International Economics MKTG 3450 Professional Selling MKTG 3480 Marketing Research IBUS 4590 International Business Field Study1 1 Students who complete a Study Abroad term may substitute another business elective for IBUS 4590.

Normally, students meet with the faculty supervisor for an 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 regularly. Service Learning opportunities generally occur during a third or fourth year of the program. Supply Chain Management Minor SCMN 3330 SCMN 4310 SCMN 4320 SCMN 4390 Procurement Management Operations Management Logistics and Transportation Selected Topics in Supply Chain Management Bachelor of Business Administration, Honours The honours degree option offers students the opportunity to gain recognition for their superior academic performance and is an excellent choice for those planning to go on to a graduate school or professional program. An Honours degree is composed of additional course and/or research therefore BBA (H) requires the completion of a minimum 132 credits. At the end of the course, students will present the faculty supervisor with an evaluation form completed by the community group 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 upperlevel credits of service learning (SERV 3000, SERV 4000). To earn this distinction, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.00 (B) in third and fourth year while either (1) completing additional upper level business and/or economics courses or (2) writing a thesis. No upper level grade can fall below B- (GPA 2.67), although students can retake courses once to meet the necessary grade requirement. To be admitted to Honours, students must have a minimum GPA of 3.00 in years one and two. Students interested in Honours as an option should meet with an academic advisor early in the planning. Co-operative Education option Co-operative Education 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. Course Route students must take four additional upper level courses in business or, economics or an approved related area of which two must be at the fourth-year level. Those interested in the Thesis Route must take the following three courses as part of their BBA studies: • • • Co-op employment opportunities 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 employer requirements; however, students are expected to complete multiple work terms in more than one season of the year. Consult the Co-op Coordinators in Career and Experiential Learning for details. BUSN 3980-3 - Business Research Methodology BUSN 4960-3 - Directed Studies or ECON 4960 - Directed Studies BUSN 4980-6 - Honours Thesis 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 learn how to conduct literature reviews and prepare research proposals, and study the statistical methods used in preparing an Honours Thesis. In Year 3 or Year 4, students take a Directed Studies course specific to the discipline of their proposed thesis. Applications for co-op are accepted after students successfully complete specified first- and second-year core courses in the BBA. Students will be assessed based on academic performance (minimum GPA of 2.67) 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) to be eligible for a work term. The Honours Thesis is taken in Year 4 where students, under the direction of a thesis supervisor, prepare 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 must formally present their thesis to the academic community. This will include their classmates and accomplished academics in the area. Students must complete three co-op work terms to graduate with a Cooperative Education designation. Students earn three upper level credits for each completed work term up to a maximum of nine credits. Dual Degrees Computing and Business Dual degrees in Computing and Business provide graduates with a strong foundation from which to build a successful career in the information technology industry. Service Learning Service learning provides an opportunity for BBA students to share their knowledge and skills with the local community through approved community-based projects. These projects can be initiated by students, community organizations, or 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. Bachelor of Computing Science (BCS) and BBA graduates will possess the combined management skills and computing knowledge needed to be successful in an increasingly high-tech business environment. 94 Program contact for Computing Sciences: csdept@tru.ca pursuits. PLAR can be awarded using an individual assessment or the TRU Credit Bank. Program contact for Business: sobedadvisor@tru.ca 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. Arts and Business Dual degrees in Arts and Business provide graduates with a strong platform for a successful career. Employers seek well-rounded candidates with specific skills and knowledge, such as accounting and management, as well as competencies in communications skills, intercultural knowledge, broad-based knowledge, and research skills. To earn a dual degree, 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 and greatly reduce study time. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete the two degrees in just five years. Dual degrees may be completed concurrently or sequentially. Program contact: artsadvising@tru.ca 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. 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. 4. 5. Students should contact a Program Advisor and the PLAR Office if they feel they are eligible for PLAR credit. Normally, students may attempt a single course three times. The third or subsequent attempt must 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. Generally, students can receive credit for no more than 30 credits of the BBA requirements by PLAR. PLAR Office: plar@tru.ca Graduation requirements 1. Complete at least 120 credits with a minimum of 60 credits as TRU credit. (This credit can be TRU campus-based and/or TRU Open Learning). Students must also complete a minimum of 36 business credits as defined by AACSB as TRU credit. More than 120 credits may have to be taken to meet these requirements. Transfer credit will be determined on a course-by-course basis. Generally, a course must be 80% equivalent to receive direct transfer credit. 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 an official course outline provided by the educational institution. Students with international education must provide translated official transcripts and translated detailed official course outlines for each course for which they are applying for transfer credit. Students must have a grade of C- or higher to receive transfer credit. University preparation credits will not be accepted for transfer but may be used to meet prerequisite and/or admission requirements. Transferred courses are awarded credit only and are not calculated in the CGPA. 2. Complete the Institutional Learning Outcomes, 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.

Students cannot be admitted to a post-baccalaureate diploma in the same discipline as their undergraduate degree. Post-baccalaureate diplomas are also valuable to international students who wish to come to Canada to learn or gain further competencies in English and business communications, gain exposure to the culture, understand the global business environment and study in a compressed format. At least six credits of university English. (ENGL 1100, CMNS 1290 or CMNS 2290, or equivalent). Applicants who have not completed at least six credits of university English and/or communications (at an English language University in an Englishspeaking country) prior to admission must provide TOEFL or IELTS or other acceptable English Placement test results (must be current within two years) or take TRU English Placement test upon arrival. TOEFL/IELTS and other English language placement tools do not take the place of completion of the required six credits of ENGL/CMNS. Students deficient in the ENGL/CMNS must complete these courses as soon as possible upon admission. PB diplomas (PBD) are 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. Program Advisors will incorporate required English and/or communications courses within the first two terms of study at TRU. The incorporation of these admission courses generally results in students requiring a minimum of five semesters to complete the Diploma. Learning options Full-time or part-time on-campus Distance: Most courses are available through distance education. Students may take a mixture of on-campus and online courses. Program start date: September and January Note: Students who have not taken the required math or English courses can still be admitted to the program, but they must complete equivalent courses as approved by a program advisor.

Understand the law, master the realities of practice, and be prepared to serve the profession of law and the interests of justice. Most students admitted to TRU Law will have an undergraduate degree (with at least 90 course credits), however, students with 60 course credits in their undergraduate degree are eligible to apply for admission. Program overview At TRU Law, the course of study will consist primarily of in-person instruction and learning that involves direct interaction between instructors and students. Opportunities and experiential learning will be developed in collaboration with professional organizations such as the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of BC, and members of the BC Bar and judiciary. Essentially, first-year courses include a mixture of learning principles of substantive law and the acquisition of basic lawyering skills, in particular the ability to think like a lawyer. These two areas of focus will then be elaborated upon in upper year courses, with greater emphasis on learning of principles of substantive law and the additional focus on the acquisition of the practical, clinical, and advocacy legal skills required to perform the multi-facetted responsibilities expected of a lawyer in the varied roles the profession is called upon to perform. Instruction in this knowledge and skill base will be through lectures, Socratic discussion, small group seminars and practical and clinical learning experiences. Each application must include the following: • • • • • • For a full listing of available courses, professors, and instructors, please visit the Faculty of Law website at tru.ca/law.

Students are expected to complete multiple work terms in more than one season of the year. Program start dates: Students may enter the program in the fall, winter, or summer term. Distance Education: Many courses are available through TRU Open Learning. A BSc co-operative education work term is considered a three-credit elective. Each program has different requirements for the elective. The Faculty of Science is committed to providing its students with a quality education emphasizing personal attention, choice, and flexibility. In the Bachelor of Science program, students can expect opportunities for practical, hands-on experience across a spectrum of science disciplines in the classroom, in the lab, and the field. Also, there are opportunities for students to work with nationally and internationally recognized professor-researchers in their research laboratories. Refer to tru.ca/coop for detailed program information and co-op policies, procedures, and fees. Bachelor of Science, 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. Program overview The BSc is a rigorous program that provides students with depth and breadth in their science education. Communication skills and computer literacy are promoted. Flexibility in the program allows students to pursue interests in disciplines outside their area of specialization. Students must complete a minimum of three co-op work terms to graduate with co-op designation. Biology students normally apply in the fall term of their second year. TRU offers three routes to a BSc degree: a major in a specific discipline or disciplines, an honours program in a specific discipline (currently available in biology, chemical biology, mathematics, and computing science), or a general science degree. Bachelor of Science, Chemical Biology 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.

Many of our graduates go 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 school, and many have received NSERC scholarships to continue their studies. Students must complete a minimum of three co-op work terms to graduate with a co-op designation. Chemistry students normally apply in the fall term of their second or third year. Service Learning Students may take 6 credits of service learning during their third or fourth years. Of these 6 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, Computing Science Co-op The BCS co-op program is open for Bachelor of Computing Science students in all majors, including those in the Computing Science Diploma program. Co-operative Education Option 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. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 2 oncampus Computing Science (COMP) courses per academic semester to be accepted into the program. Completion of the COOP 1000 course is a prerequisite to participating in the co-op program. Co-op education allows students to integrate academic study terms with paid periods of relevant experience in their field of study, and usually requires an additional year for completion of the degree program. BSc students majoring in biology (animal; general; cellular, molecular and microbial; ecology and environmental biology), chemical biology, chemistry (chemistry or environmental chemistry), physics, 141 Students successfully completing a co-op work term will receive 3 elective credits, up to 9 credits. Students obtain lower-level credits for COOP 1130 and COOP 2130 . The third co-op work term, COOP 3130, will be considered as upper level COMP 3 elective credits. Prerequisites for English 1100 are: • English Studies 12/English First Peoples 12 with a minimum of 73% (or equivalent) Bachelor of Science major programs have specific first year course requirements. It is strongly recommended that students become familiar with the prerequisite requirements for the specific majors before applying for admission. Co-op Students entering BCS in third year must complete two work terms to graduate with the co-op designation. COOP 1130 Work Term 1 and COOP 2130 Work Term 2. Students entering BCS before third year must complete one additional work term to graduate with co-op designation COOP 3130 – Work Term 3 In general, the minimum prerequisite requirements for courses in the first-year courses in the BSc programs are as follows: Students with further questions regarding the computing science co-op program, please contact the Computing Science Co-op Coordinator.

Completion of COMP 1130 or COMP 1520 is highly recommended. Preference will be given to students with a demonstrated background in computers and electronics. Note: These are the minimum requirements. Several major programs recommend courses with more stringent prerequisite requirements. Students should familiarize themselves with the course requirements for their intended major and consult the individual course descriptions for specific prerequisite requirements. Once students have been accepted into Faculty of Science programs, any required prerequisite courses must be completed satisfactorily before registering in a course required for the program. In Bachelor of Science major programs, satisfactory completion is a grade of C or better in the specific discipline courses (unless otherwise stated). All course prerequisites will be checked to ensure compliance. International experiences Study Abroad TRU offers a range of International Exchange opportunities, and is a member of a large, international Study Abroad program that gives students access to universities around the world. BSc students may want to spend one or more terms of study at another university. Transfer Credit Students from another college or university may apply to transfer to TRU any time after October 1. BC Students intending to transfer should check bctransferguide.ca to see what credits may transfer. International Field Schools Laddering credit to the BSc program 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. Course credit from the TRU Associate of Science degree may be applied toward a BSc degree. Contact the BSc Program Advisor bscadvising@tru.ca for more information. Admission requirements Program Advising Students entering the Bachelor of Science program are required to complete English 1100 or 1110 along with specific science courses which vary depending on their intended major (see below for details). 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) to meet the basic requirements and the specific prerequisite requirements for the 3000-4000 level courses for each major. 142 limited, admission to 3000- and 4000-level courses will be selective and students having the highest overall grade point averages, and those who require specific courses for graduation, will be given preference. After completing 45 credits, but before completing 60 credits, students are required to meet with the BSc Advisor and declare a major. Program planning Upper-level course offerings Students should begin planning their upper-level course selections no later than at the start of their second year. This is particularly important in those major programs in which there is little flexibility in course selection. Students should pay close attention to the course prerequisites. Failure to do so may severely limit the courses students may 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. Normally, students meet with the BSc advisor in the spring of their second year. All upper level science courses listed in the specific program listings sections of this calendar are planned to be offered; however, these course listings are subject to change without notice. There is no guarantee that specific courses listed will be available. Please check with the BSc Program Advisor for availability of courses in any particular year. Bachelor of Science, General Science Program The BSc Third- and Fourth-year Program Advisor will assist students in selecting 3000-4000 level courses to meet the graduation requirements for each major. The General Science program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, gives students an education in science that is broader than the individual science majors programs, but is still rigorous. The General 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. Contact: bscadvising@tru.a | phone 250-828-5166 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. Many science graduates move on to careers in science or to further study in a variety of areas. The BSc degree can be used as the basis for entry into graduate school in some subjects, while for others further qualifying studies may be required. Specific university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for further study. Students new to TRU, or students currently in a TRU non-science program must apply to the third year of the BSc program in either a major program or to the General Science program. Students accepted into the program are required to select their courses for the upcoming year in consultation with the BSc Advisor. Late applications will only be considered if space is available. Program requirements, General Science A minimum grade point average of 2.0 for all previous university credit courses attempted. 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. Completion of 54 or more TRU credits which include: Lower-level requirements (1000- and 2000-level courses) Academic requirements: entry into Year 3 • • • Students in the BSc in General Science must take (or have taken) 6 TRU credits of 1000 level mathematics (calculus) and 3 credits of 1000 level introductory courses in each of chemistry, computing science, physics, and either biology or geology in their first two years. 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 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. During the first two years at least 3 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.) 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. The General Science program requires careful planning. Students must ensure that during their second year they complete the prerequisites for the 3000- and 4000-level courses. 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. 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 upperlevel credits. These will count toward the 48 credits of upper-level courses required for graduation. Limitation of enrolment It may be necessary to limit enrolment in certain courses if the demand is greater than the resources available. When enrolment becomes 143 Upper-level requirements (3000- and 4000-level courses) Bachelor of Science Major with a Minor 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. Students taking a BSc major may also complete a minor in a discipline or disciplines outside their major. 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. Students may pursue a minor either in, another area of science, or in another discipline for which sufficient upper level (3000 and 4000 level) courses are available. Alternatives: • • The BSc minors in archeology and geology, computing science and management require 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 (third or fourth year). No more than three of the required upper-level credits can be the same for both the major and the minor. 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. Minors have individual and specific requirements. Please consult a program advisor. Minor in Archaeology and Geology Bachelor of Science Majors Requires the completion of the following courses: Bachelor of Science (BSc) majors are intended for students wishing to specialize in a single field of science which may lead to graduate study if a sufficiently high standing is obtained. The courses available in the BSc majors may also meet the course requirements or recommended course requirements, for entry into a variety of professional programs such as: • 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 Introduction to Physical Geology GEOL 2290 Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Geology GEOL 2050 or Historical Geology: Global Change Through Time BIOL 1210 Principles of Biology 2 3 credits from first or second-year Archaeology: ARCH 1110 or Human Origins ARCH 2190 Ancient North Americans 9 credits in third- and fourth-year Archaeology from: Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Rehabilitation Sciences at UBC and most other universities offering similar programs • GEOL 1110 ARCH 3050 Theory in Archaeology ARCH 3060 Summer Field Training in Archaeology ARCH 3260 Environmental Archaeology ARCH 4110 Prehistory Spec Areas ARCH 4200 Archaeology of British Columbia 9 credits in third- and fourth-year Geology from: Individual university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for the programs mentioned above.

(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 data science because the 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. 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 usually take five years (10 terms) of study rather than the four years (8 terms) required for a single major. Students wishing to plan a double major program should meet with the BSc Advisor for further information. At least two of: (6 credits) BIOL 3020, BIOL 3030, BIOL 3100, BIOL 3290, BIOL 3430, BIOL 4020, BIOL 4090, BIOL 4100, BIOL 4160, BIOL 4260, BIOL 4270. CHEM 3010 or CHEM 3020 PHIL 4350 An upper-level geology course An upper-level natural resource science course An upper-level ECON course from the list above Students are encouraged to declare intent to pursue a double major as early as possible, to enable appropriate planning. Note: * ECON 3990 and 4990 can only be used if special topics covered are related to the minor. The Chairs/Program Advisor with consultation will make this decision. Double Degree options Minor in Management MATH 1070 or Mathematics for Business and Economics 2 or MATH 1100 or MATH 1140 or Finite Mathematics with Applications 1 or STAT 1200 or Introduction to Statistics or STAT 2000 or Introduction to Statistics or 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. Calculus 1 145 Other electives4 Bachelor of Science Honours Program 3 credits The Animal Biology Honours program requires completion of 126 credits: 117 credits as above (minus 3 credits of upper-level electives) plus BIOL 3980 and BIOL 4980 (3 credits) and BIOL 4990 (Honours Thesis; 6 credits) The Bachelor of Science Honours program aims to provide motivated students with the opportunity to develop their research skills under the supervision of a faculty member and to have these skills 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. Notes: 1 2 Must be taken prior to third year. Students with a B or better in ENGL 1100 or 1110 need only take 3 credits of ENGL. The remaining 3 credits may be taken in any discipline outside science. CMNS 2300 is recommended. Honours programs for BSc students at TRU are available in the fields of biology, chemical biology, mathematics, and computing science. 3 Students with a grade of 80% or better in Physics 12 only need to complete PHYS 1150 (3 credits). The remaining 3 credits may be taken in any subject area. 4 Specific requirements are listed below in each of the discipline areas. The BSC requires at least 18 credits of courses be taken in disciplines outside science. 3-6 credits of ENGL (see 2) and BIOL 3400 (see 5) count toward this requirement. Additional electives must therefore include at least 9-12 credits in disciplines outside science, including at least 2 disciplines (other than English) outside of science. The remaining electives can be chosen from any academic discipline. Bachelor of Science Major Program requirements Completion of a Bachelor of Science major degree requires the completion of 120 credits of course work. Usually, students take 30 credits 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 below under “Graduation requirements”. Students must ensure that during their second year they complete the course prerequisites for courses they plan to take in subsequent years. 5 The BSc requires at least 48 credits of courses numbered 3000 or higher. 6 BIOL 2300/3300/4300 or BIOL 3300/4300 and COOP 1000 are acceptable alternatives to BIOL 3400. These courses count towards the "non-science" requirement for the BSc. (See 4) 7 Biology Programs At least 9 credits of electives must be in courses numbered 3000 or higher. These may be in any discipline, and some may count toward the "non-science" requirement. 8 ANBI electives: BIOL 3100, BIOL 3110, BIOL 3200, BIOL 3220, BIOL 3290, BIOL 3310, BIOL 4020, BIOL 4090, BIOL4100, BIOL 4160 or NRSC 4040, BIOL 4270 or NRSC 3000, BIOL 4480, BIOL 4490, NRSC 3210, NRSC 4020, NRSC 4050, NRSC 4100 Build a strong foundation in all aspects of biology with maximum flexibility.

Graduates receive an Animal Welfare Certificate. Learning options Program requirements Distance Education: Offered online on a continuous entry basis The program is a distance education course that has no on-site campus requirements. Required texts are available through the TRU bookstore. The course assessment consists of several assignments and quizzes within the Moodle course. Students must achieve an overall average of 60% in their assignments to pass a course in the AWCP program. Program overview The Animal Welfare Certificate (a campus-based distance program) is designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for those entering the animal sheltering field. It has been recently extensively revised to include both federal and provincial laws across Canada. While focus is on Canadian law, we discuss many core concepts of animal protection enforcement that can be helpful to understanding their own laws. The program is divided into two levels: General Level - AWCP 1700 and Advanced Level - AWCP 1710. Each level is comprised of a series of modules. Depending on prior experience, students may choose to complete both levels or start immediately on the second level. Students may choose to take the XAWC 0500 Animal Care independently. The program allows animal care workers, students and members of the public who wish to learn more about the animal humane field a way to increase their knowledge of animal welfare through distance education. Students are introduced to all aspects of running an animal shelter, including topics such as animal cruelty, the human-animal bond, human conflict resolution and the connection between animal and child abuse. Completion of AWCP 1700 or AWCP 1710 will result in students obtaining a certificate of completion and undergraduate course credits at Thompson Rivers University. The program must be completed within eight months. For an additional fee, a maximum of one three-month extension may be granted. Admission requirements • Grade 12 (or equivalent) or mature student status is recommended. Laddering credit to other programs The TRU Biology Department accepts either, but not both, AWCP 1700 or AWCP 1710 as a non-science elective. The arts program committee has accepted both AWCP 1700 and AWCP 1710 as “non-Arts” credit courses. The social work program accepts AWCP 1700 and AWCP 1710 as general studies credits.
