Who we are, how we came to be, and what makes us unique.
In 1962, an extraordinary dream began—to establish a distinctly Christian university in Canada, a place for equipping students to set the foundation for a full and meaningful life.
Founded in 1962, Trinity Western University is a global Christian liberal arts university dedicated to equipping students for life. Uniting faith and reason through Christian teaching and scholarship, TWU is a research institution offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in the humanities and sciences as well as in several professional schools.
A liberal arts education from Trinity Western University is an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary study, explore your chosen field through different academic perspectives, and prepare for a life and career in which you’re fully equipped.
Trinity Western University is chartered by the province of British Columbia to grant baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. TWU offers 48 undergraduate and 19 graduate degrees, including a selection of continuing education, degree completion, certificate, and online learning programs.
Our main campus is located in Langley, British Columbia—just a short drive from Vancouver and right next to historic Fort Langley, a picturesque university town next to the Fraser River. We also offer programs at two campus sites in Richmond, B.C. and the Laurentian Leadership Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.
