What additional costs will I need to pay?

  • An application fee of $100 is required.
  • The WDA Grant Scholarship will cover most of the tuition required to complete the 2+2 BDM program in 2 years of full-time study, or most of the tuition of the first 2 years only to complete the 2+2 BDM program in 4 years of part-time study. Students are responsible for covering the balance of tuition: approximately $1,120 per academic year for full-time study; or approximately $560 per academic year for the first 2 years of part-time study, and approximately $3,810 for the final 2 years of part-time study (as of December 2021), as the scholarship grant expires in 2027.
  • The costs of elective or additional courses, if required, are not covered by the Scholarship.
  • There will be other incidental costs, including costs of textbooks and other materials, which are not covered by the Scholarship.
  • The cost of a Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) review for Flexible Admission ($400) is not covered by the Scholarship.
  • The cost of a PLAR request for any specialized BDM course is not covered by the Scholarship.
  • Fees for any course not completed within the Scholarship period will be the responsibility of the student.
  • The percentage of actual tuition costs that the annual Scholarship will cover will be contingent on the number of transfer credits with which prospective students enter the degree program.
  • Students who do not have suitable research coursework or experience may be required to take a 300-level research course prior to entering their final year of the program. This course (WHDM 306) is not covered by the Scholarship.

Please note that PCU-WHS is a statutory post-secondary teaching and research institution authorized by the Degree Quality Assessment Board to grant degrees, and has the BC EQA designation, which is renewed annually. However, because academic programs at PCU-WHS are offered exclusively online, they are not eligible for Canadian or Provincial Student Loans.

Financial support may be sought through WDA scholarships (for permanent BC residents – final intake September 2025).
