Program details
Overview
The Master of Arts at Kairos University (formerly Taylor College and Seminary) is a 48-credit-hour online graduate degree in theological studies delivered through nine integrated courses covering Christian spirituality, biblical literacy, Christian theology, and church history, alongside an orientation course, a contextual project, mentored-life coursework, and required small-group reflection sessions. Students may pursue a concentration in an area such as leadership, innovation, intercultural studies, or spiritual direction, and the contextual project can take the form of a vocational project integrating learning with the student's professional context or, for those preparing for further doctoral study, a research-oriented project. Each student is guided by a team of three mentors -- a faculty mentor assigned by the university, a vocational mentor drawn from the student's own field, and a personal mentor providing spiritual companionship. The program is delivered fully online on a self-paced schedule, allowing students to study from any location. It suits working professionals seeking graduate-level theological education that integrates directly with their existing vocational responsibilities rather than a conventional campus-based master's degree.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.50 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: This programme defers to Kairos University's institution-wide admission policy rather than stating separate criteria on its own page. Applicants need a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher (the university's general threshold, which rises to 3.0 for its PhD, ThD, DPC, DMin, MACO, and MAMFT programmes), official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended, and a completed application with all supporting admissions materials. On a case-by-case basis, Training in Spiritual Direction students may also need a certificate of completion. Kairos University publishes no English or French language proficiency test requirement anywhere in its admissions materials: no IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo, or CAEL score is stated on the programme page or the university's general admissions page. The university frames its process as mutual discernment of calling and fit rather than a conventional competitive review.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Taylor College and Seminary no longer runs an independent admissions process: its site (taylor-edu.ca) now operates as a legacy partner of Kairos University, and the published Apply page describes a five-step discernment and conversation model rather than fixed intake dates. Neither taylor-edu.ca nor kairos.edu publishes a domestic or international application opening date, closing date, or document deadline for any term; admission runs on a rolling, conversation-by-conversation basis with no stated cut-off. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
