The deepest reason for a Christian university is an unrealized dream, an unrequited passion for bringing others into a full knowledge of God, the universe, the world, and themselves. Trinity Western University (TWU) is committed to being an excellent place for students to learn. While much of this learning occurs through formal programs of instruction, a lot of it takes place as a result of an individual's participation in a community of Christian scholars and leaders who are committed to the pursuit of excellence through their teaching, research, interpersonal relationships, and personal examples.
Whole student development is the hallmark of TWU's academic enterprise. Whether enrolled in the University's certificate programs, undergraduate courses, or graduate degrees, students are challenged to think critically, relate well, and make transformational changes. The foundation upon which our curricula are built, faculty are selected, and the spirit of the community grows is a biblical understanding of Christ's claim as the final authority and ultimate end of life. Both humankind and the world in which we live are best understood as creations of the divine mind who is accurately revealed in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
