TWU and Belhaven University’s Dual Degree program is a rare opportunity to earn two master’s degrees at once in less time and at a lower cost than if taken individually.

The Dual Degree program gives you twice the opportunity to build on your IT and leadership skills with the unique chance to graduate with TWU’s Master of Arts in Leadership and Belhaven University’s Master of Science in Information Technology Management.

TWU (Canada) and Belhaven (USA), both accredited and respected North American faith-based universities, have created a merged program on the beautiful TWU campus in British Columbia. Complete two master’s degrees with fewer courses in as little as 20 months, and you’ll spend 30% less than if you were to take the two master’s degrees separately.

The Dual Degree program has additional benefits for international students:

• Eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada
• Significantly increased chances of successfully applying for permanent residency (PR within the PGWP timeframe after graduation)

Program Delivery
Courses will be provided by both universities with a unique hybrid delivery where students will take TWU courses in person at the Langley or Richmond university campus and Belhaven courses online. Both universities will transfer nine credits into each other’s master’s degree programs saving students time, coursework, and cost—effectively removing the need for six courses. This will allow for the TWU/Belhaven degrees to both be completed in just 20 months. The TWU learning environment will meet all necessary Canadian requirements for students’ immediate study and post-graduation work permits (PGWP).

Corporate Communication Specialization
SAMC grows leaders with an in-depth understanding of marketing, public relations, writing, speaking, and media. Corporate communicators are the voice of an organization. At TWU, you will learn how to deliver messaging that’s clear and consistent.

As a History student at TWU, you’ll become aware of the processes of change and the development of peoples, institutions, environments, and ideas over time.

Awareness of history is a prerequisite for informed citizenship and for understanding how to live as a person of faith in the world.

Knowledgeable and thoughtful historians can be effective leaders in gaining and sharing an understanding of culture and, thus, making informed decisions.

TWU’s Laurentian Leadership Centre in Ottawa gives you an opportunity to study Canada’s history while also completing an internship that enables you to apply your historical skills in a government or industry setting.
