Master of Business Administration

Thompson Rivers University's Bob Gaglardi School of Business and Economics offers a Master of Business Administration that can be taken on campus in Kamloops, in the evening, online, or in a blend.

The 2026-2027 domestic estimate, including the online column, is $34,929.54 for the programme, and the university says that figure is not an official quote. Admission is a three- or four-year degree with a B average in the last 60 credits. A GMAT is not required unless the committee asks for one, and there is no minimum work-experience length. English, where required, is IELTS 7.0 with no band below 6.5.

Fee notes
Year: 2026 Who this fee applies to: domestic students Scholarships: A separate catalogue page says up to $10,000 is available in MBA entrance awards. Amounts by award are not on the tuition page. 2026-2027 estimated domestic tuition total for the MBA, and the same table shows this figure in the online-study column. It is the sum of the published year-1 estimate of $9,312.66 and year-2 estimate of $25,616.88. The page says this is not an official fee quote, excludes general fees and textbooks, and can change. A continuation fee of $747.17 per extra semester is listed for some thesis or project students. The figure previously noted was not found in the HTML of the official page on re-check, so it is not stored.
