Semester details are as follows:

Classes run: January 6 – April 4, 2025
Exam Period: April 7 – April 23, 2025
Final grades due: April 30, 2025

All instruction is face-to-face, so the applicant(s) selected will have to be located near Kamloops or be willing to relocate.

About the Department

It is a supportive and collegial team, with approximately 20 full-time departmental faculty members and numerous part-time instructors from the local business community. The department delivers core courses to all BBA, graduate, and post-baccalaureate diploma students and manages the Accounting and Finance Majors and Minors and the Post-baccalaureate Diplomas in Accounting and Finance. Students who complete the Accounting Major or Post-baccalaureate Diploma in Accounting receive all possible exemptions in the CPA Professional Education Program. The Finance Major and Post-baccalaureate Diploma in Finance are members of the CFA Institute’s University Affiliation Program.

About the BC Interior
TRU is located in Kamloops, British Columbia. Life in the sunny interior of British Columbia provides immediate access to some of the most incredible outdoor experiences Canada has to offer ranging from winter sports at Sun Peaks Resort, to some of Canada’s best mountain biking and hiking trails. Located between the coastal and Rocky Mountains, Kamloops is within 30 minutes from hundreds of beautiful freshwater lakes, and only three hours from Vancouver. With a relatively mild winter and spectacularly warm and dry summers, Kamloops offers a high quality of life. As a city with just over 100,000 residents, it is served by an airport, a hospital, a university, a WHL hockey team and yet still maintains a small-town feel where one never commutes longer than 15 minutes. It is a safe community to raise a family and still has reasonable housing prices.
