The School of Education offers a B.Ed. degree that can be completed concurrently with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in five years or as a two-year post degree program. The B.Ed. is one of the leading and largest programs at TWU. With a Christian based liberal arts education, students will gain knowledge of how to become future teachers and educational leaders. Education majors impact today’s society and by helping others gain values, knowledge and skills, they are significantly making a difference. TWU’s School of Education offers two routes. The most common program is the five-year concurrent education program and another option is the two-year post-degree education program. Whichever path education students take, TWU’s education programs will lead students towards applying for a British Columbia Professional Teaching Certificate issued by the BC Teacher Regulation Branch, validating students to teach at all grade levels. Students have many practicum opportunities to teach in local schools. The School offers several teachable subject specialization options.

The School of Education fully prepares students to lead and educate others in public, private, or independent schools around the world. Education graduates leave TWU ready to teach kindergarten, elementary, or high school students. Students who wish to continue their education at a higher level can follow the education stream of the Master of Arts in Leadership (M.A.) This graduate level strengthens the servant leadership abilities of educators in schools. In addition, a Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is provides training that will prepare English language teachers for excellence. If graduates are interested in teaching English, a Teaching English as a Second Language certificate (TESL) is available at TWU. With a one-year completion, TESL at TWU offers a globally recognized program that will prepare students to teach English internationally or in Canada.
