Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Pre-MBA Studies

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Pre-MBA Studies prepares students possessing a Bachelors degree in a non-business area for admission to most MBA programs. The program provides a broad introductory overview of business disciplines and skills, preparing students for graduate level study in business.

Completion of this program does not necessarily guarantee admission to the TRU MBA program, nor any other MBA program.

* Program is available to applicants residing in or outside Canada.

Admission Requirements

Recognized baccalaureate degree in a field other than business administration or commerce.

If a computer course was taken more than seven years prior to admission to this program and the student wishes to apply this course towards a specific computer course requirement, then the student must demonstrate currency in that topic to the satisfaction of TRU-OL, in order to be granted the desired transfer credit. This restriction does not apply to computer courses used for unspecified elective credit.
