Thompson Rivers University has announced that it is launching an Honours College this Fall, which it says is the first of its kind in Canada. The Honours College will open the door to more interdisciplinary learning, research, and experiential opportunities for students, as well as tailored academic and personal supports. The college will launch with a University Honours Certificate program that TRU students can add onto their primary degrees. “Academic excellence isn’t just about the grades or credentials students earn — it’s also about the experiences and perspectives students bring,” said TRU Faculty of Student Development Interim Dean Will Garrett-Petts. “The Honours College Certificate invites students from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a dynamic academic environment where all can thrive.”
