PHILOSOPHY
Trinity Western University supports holistic student development. All courses are informed by a Christian worldview. Core inquiry courses in various ways of knowing in science, art, philosophy, language, religion, and society and culture encourage students to think biblically, critically, ethically, and creatively about the world. These include interdisciplinary foundational inquiry courses that support students’ abilities to consider how a Christian worldview affects one’s approach to the academic and professional disciplines. Nursing courses equip students to work in partnership with individuals, families, groups, and communities for the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health. Ancillary requirements in biology, microbiology and statistics support nursing courses.
