Program details
Overview
The Master of Divinity at Kairos University (formerly Taylor College and Seminary) is a 72-credit-hour online graduate degree preparing students for ministry leadership, ordination, or further doctoral study. Its 13 outcome-based courses address biblical exegesis of the Old and New Testaments, theology and worship, Christian ethics and tradition, spiritual formation and discipleship, cultural engagement and gospel proclamation, and collaborative leadership and pastoral care. Students complete a contextual project that integrates coursework with their own vocational ministry setting, together with required small-group reflection sessions and mentored-life coursework. As with other Kairos programs, each student is supported by a three-person mentor team: an assigned faculty mentor, a vocational mentor selected from the student's own ministry or professional context, and a personal mentor for spiritual companionship. Students may shape a concentration in an area such as chaplaincy, missional theology, or biblical languages. The degree is delivered entirely online, letting students study on their own schedule from any location, and suits those already engaged in ministry who want a graduate-level theological credential without relocating to a residential campus.
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. 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. No portfolio, interview, minimum age, criminal record check, or immunisation requirement is stated for this programme.
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.
