About this programme
TRU operates the MBA as either a two-year programme or a one-year accelerated programme, with the admissions committee deciding which route an applicant enters based on their educational background. The MBA requires 30 credits with a minimum of 21 at the 6000 level, and offers course-based, graduate project or graduate thesis completion options. Intakes are September, January and May at the Kamloops campus. TRU's fee schedule lists this route separately as '1 Year MBA (if GDBA is not required)'. What the fee covers: the international full-time total programme fee for the 12-month route, published as '1 Year MBA (if GDBA is not required) $39,256'. Fee year: 2026-27. English requirement as published: IELTS 7.0, or TOEFL iBT 94, or PTE 68. Before you budget: do not plan around this number. TRU's own caveat reads: 'Please note, gaining access into the accelerated one-year option is highly selective and usually given to recent graduates of recognized North American business degrees.' If you hold a three-year Indian bachelor's, budget the two-year MBA at CAD 57,235 and treat the one-year route as an upside rather than a plan. TRU's admissions committee, not you, decides which route you start in.
