Our Campuses
TRU’s Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses are located on the traditional territory of the Secwepemc peoples, in British Columbia’s southern interior. In Kamloops (from the Secwepemc word for “meeting of the waters”), the main campus overlooks the junction of the North Thompson and South Thompson rivers, from which the university gets its name.
Nearly 14,000 students study on campus in Kamloops, Williams Lake, or at one of our regional centres in 100 Mile House, Clearwater, Barriere, Ashcroft, and Lillooet. Another 17,000 students learn exclusively online through TRU Open Learning. The campuses are active community hubs, hosting conferences and events such as the Canada Summer Games and the Kamloops Marathon, while also offering continuing education opportunities and welcoming visiting speakers throughout the year.
Kamloops
Located in the Sahali area on the city’s southwest slopes, TRU is walking distance from commercial districts and residential areas, and next door to Kamloops’ largest recreational facility, Tournament Capital Centre. A wide variety of outdoor adventures and cultural events are minutes away, year-round.
A hub for travel east, north, or south, Kamloops is 2 hours from Kelowna, 3.5 hours from Vancouver, and a day’s drive from Calgary, Prince George, Victoria or Seattle. Read more about the campus, services, and Kamloops using the links below.
Williams Lake
In the heart of the Cariboo, students begin their studies in academic programs or in various career and trades programs. Visit the Williams Lake website.
