Welcome to The School of Business and Economics (SoBE)

The School of Business and Economics offers a comprehensive suite of programs to meet the needs of the knowledge-based economy and an increasingly interconnected and converging global environment. We are constantly striving to improve our offerings to better meet the needs of students, graduates, businesses, and employers.

One primary need identified is for continuous learning. This means introducing a strategic goal of maximizing laddering opportunities for students. We have re-developed our programs to enable students to progress from a one-year certificate, to a two-year diploma, to a four-year degree with minimal loss of credits.  Students can take a program, go to work, gain experience, build up funds, and explore employment opportunities and then return for more advanced post-secondary programs without retaking courses.

We also offer a Cooperative Education Option in our Bachelor of Business Administration program to allow students to gain work experience in their field while they are completing their university degree.  In addition, the School of Business and Economics has study abroad programs available and offers its BBA program in China with our partners at Tianjin University of Technology and Shanghai Institute of Technology.

Whether your interests are in certificates, diplomas, degrees, in office administration, accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, human resource management, information technology, international business, general management or marketing, the comprehensiveness of the  TRU School of Business and Economics gives our graduates the best options for success. Join us in the School of Business and Economics at TRU as we build that success for you and your future.
