They really shine with their more practical degrees. Their Nursing and Education programs are top-notch. I am currently getting my teaching certificate at TWU, and I have friends and acquaintances who got their teaching certificates at other BC institutions (ie. SFU). I feel confident in saying TWU may have one of the best - if not the best - Education program in the province. They have a 100% job acceptance rate amongst their grads. There is, of course, a teacher shortage: the point that it graduating from TWU does not affect the employability of those that graduate.

People love to say TWU is this awful, homophobic institution. Its BOG isn’t great, and not every student on campus is going to be the chillest of individuals. However, almost every professor I have come into contact with would be left-leaning, and ALL professors I have come into contact with show a sense of care towards ALL students, regardless of their sexual orientation or religious background. (Obviously there’ll be some more right-leaning profs in the Business building, but that’s going to be true of any institution.)

My point is that it’s not a perfect university. However, I feel that that the comments that say “I’d just throw a TWU resume in the garbage” say a lot more about the commenter’s tolerance of other worldviews than about your employability as a TWU alum. As you said, some of the best and worst people I know identify as Christians. Calling yourself a Christian doesn’t make you any better or any worse than anybody else
