Transferring Credits to TRU

Students may transfer credits of acceptable study from any other college or university in Canada, the US, or abroad. Students from BC can check course transferability on the BCCAT Web site: http://www.bccat.bc.ca. Evaluation of transfer credit is done on an individual basis, except where formal transfer agreements are in place.

International Studies

Students may be able to complete courses toward their degree at a university outside Canada. Note: To ensure that you will receive credit toward the Bachelor of Journalism degree for courses taken at other universities, consult the department chair before enrolling in the Study Abroad Program.

Program Costs

Tuition estimates are $3500 and student fees estimate $100 for two full-time semesters of study. Students must also purchase required text books and materials. Lab fees may apply to courses with a lab component. 

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.
