Overview
This 98-credit Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies is delivered at Horizon College and Seminary's Saskatoon campus through online video, term-based modules, and directed study, completed in roughly 24 months of full-time study or up to three years part-time. The curriculum covers theology, biblical studies, Christian history, ethics, leadership, spiritual formation, and Christian mission, with a high level of elective flexibility and ministry-formation components built into every year of the program. A co-vocational option lets students combine 34 credits earned at Horizon with approved training completed at another institution. As with the college's other undergraduate degrees, the accelerated Plus+ pathway is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. The program is described as non-vocational, suiting students who want a broad grounding in Christian studies for personal or general church-related purposes rather than a specific ordained ministry role, while still offering flexibility to pursue individual academic interests through its elective courses.

Application Details
Start Date:Fall and January
Application Deadline:Horizon College & Seminary publishes no fixed application deadline: for domestic students it recommends applying by July for a Fall start and by early December for a January start, with all materials submitted at least three weeks before the term begins, and applications are otherwise processed on a rolling, first-come basis rather than against a published cutoff date. Horizon has paused international admissions for the 2026/2027 academic year and directs prospective international applicants to check back in Fall 2026 for the possibility of applying for 2027/2028; no international deadline is currently published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
