Double Degree - Bachelor Of Arts & Bachelor Of Business Administration (Optional Co-op)

Academic Requirements

To pursue the Double Degree - Bachelor of Arts & Bachelor of Business Administration at Thompson Rivers University, students must meet the following academic requirements:

• Students must fulfill the requirements of both the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programs.
• It is important to note that while it may seem that earning dual degrees would take eight years of study (four years per degree), this is not the case. Many core and elective courses can be "double counted," significantly reducing the total study time.
• With careful course selection, it is possible to complete both degrees in just five years.
• Students must complete the graduation requirements of both programs either concurrently or sequentially.
• To ensure completion of the two degrees within five years, students are encouraged to start planning their course selections before their first semester.

For international students, including those from Vietnam and other Asian countries, it is advisable to reach out to LOA Portal's advisors for any clarification and support regarding specific requirements.

Additionally, please note that transcripts may be required to be evaluated by WES in some cases.
