Overview

The Bachelor of Science course from Thompson Rivers University is a steppingstone to pre-medicine, graduate studies or a direct path to a promising career. At TRU, you have early access to research and can embark on your own original research project as early as year three of your studies—excellent options to ensure your resumé or graduate school application stands out.

Interests are meant to be fostered, not narrowed. The flexibility of the BSc allows you to study topics outside of chosen specializations and acquire both depth and breadth in your science education. A significant number of graduates have been successful in graduate studies and have received NSERC scholarships to continue their studies.
