Program overview
The Bachelor of Arts with intent to progress to Concurrent Five-Year Bachelor of Arts & Bachelor of Education at Trinity Western University’s Langley campus in British Columbia is a 5 year double bachelor's-degree program combining a full degree with a Bachelor of Education for BC teacher certification.
The five-year concurrent route lets students earn their academic degree and BEd together, graduating classroom-certified faster than the consecutive path, with school practicum experience woven through the program.
TWU teaches in small, professor-led classes on a 157-acre residential campus about 45 minutes from Vancouver, and is a provincially chartered member of Universities Canada — so the credential is fully recognised for employment and further study. Uniquely among Canadian universities, international students pay the same tuition as domestic students, and three intakes a year (September, January and May for many programs) keep start dates flexible.
Because this is a full bachelor’s degree, graduates are exempt from Canada’s post-2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction and may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years (final decision rests with IRCC).

- Teacher-On-Call — the standard entry into district hiring
- International School Teacher — BC certification travels globally
