Home > Trinity Western University


Trinity Western University is a private Christian liberal arts and sciences university located in Fort Langley, British Columbia , Canada, enrolling approximately 2,850 students.

Most notable about the school is its requirement that all students sign an agreement that prohibits, among other things, premarital sex, including -- as the university states it -- "homosexual behaviour."

In 1995, TWU attempted to certify students going through its teaching program, but the British Columbia College of Teachers denied accreditation of TWU's program, arguing that the agreement students must sign is discriminatory and that those graduating from Trinity Western's program might discriminate against gay students. The lower courts in British Columbia and, later, the Supreme Court of Canada, ruled in favour of Trinity Western, stating that there was no basis for the BCCT's decision.
