Thompson Rivers University

Thompson Rivers University (TRU) is a Canadian public teaching and research university established in 1970. Its name comes from the two rivers which converge near the main campus: the North Thompson and the South Thompson. The main campus has spectacular views of the Thompson Valley and offers everything from trades and tech to graduate programs. It includes one of Canada’s newest Law schools as well as faculties in sciences, nursing, business, art, education and social work and adventure, culinary arts and tourism. Thompson Rivers University has a well-established distance education division called TRU-Open Learning, which offers 60 online or distance programs out of 200. It also has several international partnerships through its TRU World division. Their five priorities are: student success, intercultural understanding, research capacity, entrepreneurial capacity and sustainability.
