Future International Students

Two-year program

The TRU MBA program consists of 5000-level and 6000-level courses. Students complete all core courses and then choose an additional 4 electives to complete the course-based option of program completion or apply to complete the program by project or thesis. Students may receive course waivers for 5000-level courses if the degree committee determines they have equivalent recent undergraduate or graduate course work in the area from an acceptable institution.

The 5000-level courses are the same as those offered in the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) program. Students who successfully complete each 5000-level course with an overall GPA of  B (3.0) or better can apply to be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Business Administration.

*Once in the MBA program, students can apply for thesis or project option of completion.  Students are required to find their own supervisor.

Accelerated One-Year Program

Applicants who hold a recent, acceptable undergraduate degree in business or commerce may qualify for admission directly into the second year of the MBA program. To qualify for the accelerated option, specific undergraduate pre-requisite courses must have been recently completed with a minimum B grade in each course. Please note that graduates of three-year degrees in business or commerce will not generally qualify to be accepted to the accelerated option.

* Equivalent courses taken at other approved educational institutions may be substituted. To receive a waiver, an official course outline (not just a course description) must be submitted for review unless a pre-approved equivalency has been established.
