"As an arm of the Church, to develop godly Christian leaders:
positive, goal-oriented university graduates with thoroughly Christian minds;
growing disciples of Jesus Christ who glorify God through fulfilling the Great Commission,
serving God and people in the various marketplaces of life."
Since our first days in 1962, Trinity Western
has held a unique vision for delivering an
academically excellent liberal arts and
sciences education within the context of a
Christ-centerd community.
We have grown to become the largest faith-
based university in Canada and one of North
America’s premier Christian universities,
offering a full range of undergraduate
degrees (87) and graduate degrees (19),
as well as professional schools in business,
education, human kinetics, nursing and the
arts, media and culture.
What we are most proud of is our diverse
alumni community—who, in all walks of life,
are the embodiment of our mission, as they
positively impact the lives and communities
they serve.
We are driven by a deep desire to equip you
to find and fulfill your purpose, by helping
you discover your passion and develop it into
a profession. So you too can live a fulfilling
life of positive impact and meaning.

THE MISSION OF TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY
4 TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY
“I learn from students and they learn from me. It’s great to watch them grow and develop. I love having an impact on their lives because I know they’re going to have an impact on other people’s lives. It has an exponential effect.”
Blair Whitmarsh, Ph.D.Dean and Professor, School of Human Kinetics

Holly Faith Nelson, Ph.D.Department Chair and Professor, English
“The purpose of a university education is to question and to think. But to be able to do that within a faith structure, in a supportive environment, is very empowering for students.”

“At Trinity Western, I had the opportunity to learn the art of nursing in an environment that
recognizes people and patients as more than merely physical beings. I was supported
and encouraged to pursue my passions for both nursing and global health and given a
solid foundation on which to base my nursing career and vocation.”

“Trinity Western’s lab environment is fantastic. I think that’s what most prepared me for
being a researcher. My professors taught me to think like a researcher, to work in a lab
and to think about science in a broader fashion.”
“I checked out other schools where you’re just one person in a hive. The small class sizes at
TWU mean you can talk to a professor without having to schedule it in advance. I’m also
grateful for their multi-disciplinary and liberal arts mandate—which helped when I had
to write professional documents for grant submissions or come up with tentative legal
agreements in launching the video game.”
